A Stenciled Doormat is the Perfect DIY Gift for the New Homeowner
Good morning, my stenciling homeowners. Cutting Edge Stencils knows that you’ve been making a list and checking it twice. We’d like you to glance over it one last time. Do you see anyone on there that recently bought a home? From boring blenders to blah bake ware, finding a unique gift for a new homeowner can be a challenge. If you’re looking to knock the socks off a new homeowner then we’ve got the project for you!
Today’s project of the day is Stenciled Doormats.
Meet Tonia,the DIY crafter behind the blog The Gunny Sack. Tonia had spotted a stenciled indoor mat on Pinterest and it inspired her to stencil an outdoor mat. She already had our Casablanca Craft stencil from another project and she purchased a plain outdoor rug at Wal-Mart. Unfortunately, Tonia had a couple of mishaps along the way and realized the hard way that stenciling and spray paint don’t mix. But even with her mishaps, she managed to pull her project together. She spray painted the doormat in red and then she stenciled the Casablanca pattern in black acrylic craft paint using a dense foam roller. Tonia had this to say about her craft, “I ended up with a cute mat that matches my back door”. We love how her stenciled doormat turned out!
And our last project might knock you off your feet! Meet Michelle, the creative DIYer from Delicate Construction. She found a plain gray doormat for $1 at the dollar store. Armed with our Aspen Stencil and white paint from Home Depot, Michelle gave the doormat a makeover. She had this to say about the transformation, ” I am in shock with how cool it came out looking! The lines are sharp and it for sure doesn’t look like a dollar store doormat anymore!” Way to go, Michelle. We think it looks pretty awesome also!
Would you stencil a doormat as a gift, and if so, which stencil would you choose? We’d love to read your ideas, so leave us a comment below!
