I actually had energy enough to do 2 projects! I made 2 painted door mats this weekend. One for everyday use and one for Halloween. I got the idea from Lowe's magazine and added freezer paper stenciling and painters tape to make the design. And mine is way cheaper. I have enough to make 5 or more rugs for under $18 because I had everything but the rug on hand. I wanted to make an Initial rug like this.
Halloween version:
Here's how I did it.
I plan to make one for Christmas sometime soon too! The possibilities are endless!
That's ingenious! :) I bet you could even find scraps of outdoor carpet for cheap and not have to buy the whole roll! Such a great idea! Thanks April...I'm pinning this to pinterest!!!
ReplyDeletethat is awesome!!!! i'm sooo stealing this! ;)
ReplyDeleteI second the ingenious comment! What a fabulous idea!
ReplyDeleteI'm so going to make some of these.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all...I had no idea Lowes had magazines and other "ideas". Thanks for bringing that to my attention. :) Second, that is the coolest DIY project I have seen lately, I'm definitely making some of these.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this! Have been wanting one so badly!
ReplyDeleteThis is really great! Thanks for the step by step photos, I am totally lazy and hate reading so now i have your awesome photos in my brain for this project to be completed in the future!
ReplyDeleteI love this. I need it, it looks great.
ReplyDeleteJust found this through Pinterest. Great idea! LOVE the price. :)
ReplyDeleteDo you seal it with anything to keep the paint from peeling off?
ReplyDeleteNo, I did not seal it. It has faded a tad, but not so much that I would need to replace it at all. Our porch is covered though. :)
