We update the mat in front of the entrance door
The theatre begins with the coat rack, and the impression fromapartments — with the hallway. Or even before the hallway — with the doormat in front of the front door. Down with neutral boring colors and faded patterns — add color and creativity so that guests enter your home with a smile and a joyful mood! Decorating an ordinary doormat for wiping your feet will not take you much time. For work you will need:
- cardboard
- spray adhesive
- spray-paint in spray can
- stationery knife or scissors
Let's say you have something like this, which is nothing special.A distinctive, boring rug of an odd brown color. In this example, the Ikea Trampa coconut doormat with rubber sole was used.
With a stencil and some paint, you can easily turn it into this fun and welcoming doormat:
First you need to make a stencil of the pattern, whichyou want to apply. To do this, take a thick sheet of paper or cardboard, attach it to a board or other surface that you don’t mind scratching with a knife, and draw the desired pattern. If you want to apply some complex pattern or drawing, find it on the Internet and print it in the desired size.
We cut out with scissors or a stationery knife what we managed to draw or print. For convenience, the author of the idea even numbered the figures to arrange them on the mat in the correct order.
Carefully place the finished stencil on the mat.Since the paper will bulge or shift as you work, it is best to attach it to the rug with spray adhesive. Make sure all the stencil elements are in place.
If you are planning to use several colorspaint, then first cover those areas of the stencil that you will paint second. Shake the can of paint and spray it perpendicularly onto the stencil (not under it) from a height of about 25-30 cm. Where the color seems lighter to you, go over it with the spray again.
Let the paint dry and carefully remove the paper. Done!
Come up with other designs, patterns and inscriptions!
