Ingredients

  • Plain door mat
  • Acrylic paint
  • Stencil I made mine using my craft cutter and some sticker paper, but you could hand cut one or buy one pre-made
  • Stencil tape if your stencil paper isn't adhesive

Instructions

  • Choose the stencil you're going to use for your project. You can cut with an adhesive cutter or buy one pre-made. Also choose your paint colors.
    Three bottles of FolkArt acrylic paint and a paintbrush
  • Position the stencil on the door mat and secure. If the stencil isn't adhesive, use stencil tape or adhesive stencil spray.
    Applying an adhesive stencil to a door mat
  • Begin painting. Use 3 - 4 coats so that the words stand out from the background.
