Halloween Doormat DIY
Gather These Supplies
Youll want to print your free templates out on thicker paper.
If you use regular printer paper, the paint will just soak through.
you might also buy brochure paper at the office supply store.
Print your templates out and cut with a craft knife.
We used the inside of the stencil (the hanging chad?)
to plan out our design.
The doormat size we used was 18 x 30, just for reference.
Youll want to cut out the small bats too these are going to overlap the moon.
Start with the large bats and attach them to the mat with painters tape.
Attach the moon to one of the corners.
Spray paint your bats black and your moon white.
Heres a tip: spray several LIGHT coats.
Dont soak the doormat, or you risk bleeding.
Let dry between coats.
Keep going over them areas until you get full coverage.
Remove the stencils and let dry.
Add your small bat stencil to the top corner where the moon is, overlapping.
Spray light coats again and let dry.
Your DIY Halloween doormat is ready to put on display!
