I'm not a super crafty person. I'll only make things if they're easy, give you a unique finished product, and if I can find all the items without a lot of hassle.
This Personalized Door Mat checks all the boxes for me when it comes to crafting. It's easy, doesn't require a lot of materials or artistic skill, and I genuinely like the finished product!
I bought the plain doormat from the store (you can also order one online) and I used a stencil and black acrylic paint to add the words. No crazy or complicated steps! Once it's dry it's ready to put outside. I've had so many compliments on the mat since I made it, and people are so surprised when I tell them it was a DIY project - not from a store.
If you're feeling confident, feel free to experiment with your designs. You can get different stencils (or create your own), or you can use tape to make fun geometrical designs. It's really up to you! Remember, it's all about having fun.
