Anywho i m going to show you how to paint a doormat without a machine.
Can you spray paint a doormat.
Make 2 beautiful spray painted door mats at one time.
I can barely get through transforming the inside of my house much less the outside.
Let them know you are happy to see them even before you open your door.
Folk art outdoor acrylic paint.
And here is tip.
Using brush strokes got little tiny dots of paint everywhere.
I made my stencil with my silhouette cameo cutting machine but.
This is pretty much how my front walkway looked.
If you want to.
But i could at least make a painted custom welcome mat for the front door.
Allow the paint to dry.
Continue spraying until the fibers on the mat are sufficiently coated with paint.
Spray the stencil with the aerosol paint moving the can in a sweeping motion about 2 inches from the mat.
There is however a little story behind this finished project last year during rainbow week i fell in love with the wooden floor mat and then promptly ran out of time to give it a try.
The problem is that aside from painting our front doors a punch of color last year i ve ignored the outside of my house.
Depending on the kind of wear it gets you can use primer and exterior house paint or specialty paint from folks who really know rubber tire and auto accessory dealers.
If you are using a light color of paint use a light color of sharpie another quick tip.
A plain coir doormat.
Hold the can about four to six inches away from the doormat.
Shake a can of enamel spray paint for several minutes to ensure paint is mixed.
I found this pretty grey and cream patterned rug at target for 24 99.
It s a 30 x48 and i love the larger size.
Let s gather our supplies.
Use short even strokes in a circular motion to coat.
I already had these 2 door mats but neither of them look very spring y or fresh.
Most doormats are 18 x30 and i wanted something bigger to fit the larger rug.
A plain black rubber mat can look more welcoming if it s painted and painting rubber mats might not be as difficult as you think.
I picked up one from ikea but you can get one online here.
Just fill in with paint.
Wait a few minutes and spray the stencil again.
And the perfect time to add a little color to the front and back porches.
You can certainly paint your outdoor mat any color but since we are celebrating rainbow week we decided to use a rainbow of colors.
What better way to add color than to paint a couple of door mats.
I love this time of year.
Dab the paint on.
If you don t want to make your own design i made a simple house outline that you can download print and trace here.
