Diy Custom Monogrammed Door Mat

I've been needing to supersede some door mats around our outside doors too thought a quick monogrammed door mat would move a perfect DIY projection to add together some personality to our front end door.

powder bath makeover before this year,  but when I shifted gears from my master plan to a novel design, I knew that I nevertheless had to purpose my cute stencil another way!

I solely needed a few supplies... a evidently door mat (this 1 is 2x3', sturdy too prissy quality, too was $10 from Ikea), the Cheetah Spots stencil, a slice of poster board, a missive of the alphabet for the monograms, tape, too spray paint.

I needed a template for my monogram missive of the alphabet larger than whatsoever stencils I already had, thence I enlarged it on the copier too used the proficient ole "hang it on a window" fox to describe it on the take in of the poster board.

Then I cutting out the missive of the alphabet leaving an opened upwards "G" inwards the middle of the poster board.  I simply got it started alongside a knife, but it was easier too quicker to cutting the residue out alongside scissors.

Then, I centered the missive of the alphabet on the mat.  There was plenty poster board around the missive of the alphabet that I didn't demand to worry virtually overspray getting on the residue of the mat.

The texture of the mat is actually rough, thence the painter's record actually didn't assist to secure it to the mat.  So, I simply used something to press the poster board downward unopen to the mat thence at that spot weren't gaps around the edges, thence sprayed unopen to the opening, straight off downward to move past times away on it from spraying upwards nether the edges of the stencil.

I wanted a border around my initial, too similar I said painters record wasn't viscous enough, thence I used duct record to grade out a box, simply using a yard stick to mensurate off the opened upwards infinite inwards betwixt the record lines.

Again, I sprayed straight off down.  The coverage was pretty proficient alongside 1 coat, but I sprayed a 2nd coat inwards spots that needed it.

I should convey protected from overspray a picayune to a greater extent than inwards that previous step, because I ended upwards alongside a picayune around my box border.  It's ok, though, it's non that noticeable inwards the the finished product.

Now I was ready to add together the cute pattern!  These stencils are large too it almost covered the entire mat, I simply had to shift it a picayune fighting every bit I went.  The beauty of this pattern is that it's thence random, you lot actually don't convey to worry virtually matching the repeat upwards perfectly when you lot deed the stencil.   I put the stencil downward on the mat, thence covered the box too initial I had simply painted alongside the poster board thence it would rest as-is.  Then, I simply sprayed each point too worked my agency around the mat.

I dear how the tan background alongside the dark pigment actually makes this await similar a leopard print!

 DIY Black too White Striped Pots

I was done alongside this projection from kickoff to complete inwards virtually xxx minutes.  I demand a trip to Ikea to alternative upwards a few to a greater extent than of these mats... I convey iv to a greater extent than doors that demand a novel one!  These would too brand peachy teacher, hostess, or birthday gifts, or fifty-fifty a prissy "welcome" gesture to a novel neighbor.
