Custom Doormat
I am all about fun sayings, and this Cricut doormat idea won me over. Welcome, beware of the husband, kids are also shady, wife is cool tho. Ha! How funny is that? If you don’t like this saying, opt for a different say.
You can easily create anything you want, and I will show you the process of how to seal the design so you can greet guests in style.
What Type of Doormat Do You Buy
I buy the Coir Doormat style. It is a plain colored doormat that is fantastic for adding your own design to it. If you find another type of doormat that is a solid color you can always try that as well.
What Is Are Coir Mats
Coir Cricut doormats are made with a coco fiber that is extracted from the husks of coconut. This is an earth-friendly doormat. They are also naturally waterproof.
Do I Need To Seal My Mat For Lasting Design
Many crafters swear by Flex Seal Paint. They just apply a coat to the mat and it will help prevent the fading of the design on the mat. While I love a DIY custom Cricut doormat, they do fade after around six months.
So, if you are wanting to try and let the mat last longer, I always suggest applying a sealer to help secure your design and vibrancy. You can also use a sealer spray that is clear, which you can buy in the spray paint section.
Bold Fonts For Custom Cricut Doormats
I always recommend using a bolder font when working with custom Cricut doormats. They transfer the best and will really help showcase the letters.
As you can see I used two types of fonts on this mat here. Both are thicker styles and I love the mix of prints. If you change up your font style, just make sure to reach for a thicker font. Thinner fonts will not transfer as well or cover as well on the mat.
