Instructions
- Gather all of your supplies. And measure the mat. Measure 1-2 inches smaller.
- Cut a stencil with your Cricut machine that matches the size of your doormat. Weed in reverse and apply transfer Tape to your stencil (I like to use a piece that has been previously used so it comes off easily.
- If needed cut the stencil to fit your mat.
- Apply the vinyl onto the mat and carefully pull off the transfer paper leaving your custom stencil behind on the mat.
- Use the masking tape to tape down the design to the floor mat. Using a blow dryer or heat gun, heat the vinyl so that it sort of melts tight.
- Apply paint by dabbing with your brush, I sprayed a light coat of white spray paint to prime a bit.
- Remove the vinyl stencil as soon as you are done painting and touch up any areas that may need more paint. Allow the paint to dry before using it.
