MAN! You know the saying try, try, try again?! That was this diy.. 😫🤦 I had a grand idea of having a funny saying on the rug. I shot for the goal and ending up completely airballing. After hours of cutting out a stencil, placing it, and painted it on.. I HATE it! 😂 It’s not that it was bad, just not what I had envisioned. I guess I’m just too much of a perfectionist, so back to the drawing board! Hopefully I can help you figure out how to do it right the first time, and not have to redo it!

Supplies:

So after my first failed attempt, I just decided to spray painted the whole rug with the ColorShot Paint. So glad I ended up starting over on this thing!  After the rug was dry, I used painters tape to set out the width of my lines and the tape helped for nice clean lines.  

Now you can use a stencil to paint on your words, but I preferred to free hand my design.  Since the material of this rug is rough, a stencil will not stick securely so you can use pins to make it a little more snug. Then dab your paint onto the rug.

I am very pleased with how my DIY porch mat turned out! The total price was around $20, which is a pretty cheap way to creative your own personal mat. It is also just a fun project to create! Hope you are able to design your own creative welcoming mat!
