I’ve been into a phase of making my own doormats for every season! In this post I include a step by step tutorial on how to create your own doormat for Fall and Winter seasons! 4 Cricut templates included!
WARNING CRICUT NEEDED!
Before we can get to the fun part, you will need to create your template in the cricut design space.
Here’s How:
Download desired templates below by clicking on the images and save as PNG:
GO TO CRICUT DESIGN SPACE:
In the cricut design space hit “upload”
Hit “Browse”
Select downloaded png
Select “image type” - “simple”
Hit “Continue”
Hit “Continue again”
Hit “Save a cut image”
Hit “Save”
Hit “Select the image”
Hit “Insert images”
Rotate vertical
(For this project you must have a 12 by 24 cricut mat)
Resize png no bigger than 22 inches tall 11 wide
Click “make it”
Make sure you have 12 by 24 mat selected (I used thin poster board from cvs)
Trim poster board to fit mat
Proceed as usual!
Once template is printed use tool to remove middle pieces.
NOW WE CAN GET STARTED:
FIRST, Gather your materials
You will need: Blank doormat ($20), black acrylic paint ($5), Krylon matte sealer ($9), foam brushes ($5), thin paint brushes
Next, use sewing pins to pin template in place as desired. Don’t forget to pin middle pieces! Cut and rearrange as desired.
THEN, dab paint with foam brush in open areas to form your letters. You are gonna have to dab for a while!
Use thinner brush to fill in nooks and crannies
Once you feel all space has been covered remove template
Do you love it?!
Spray with sealer to keep it lookin’ fresh!
And of course take a cute pic, you did it yourself girl!
