DIY: Pottery Barn Inspired Monogrammed Doormat Tutorial

 

I was working on cleaning out my garage today,

when I discovered this old door mat.

Back in the day, this mat was a very colorful summer welcome mat.

Those days are long gone.

Or so I thought.

I flipped this baby over and trimmed off the tails

and then...

I have been wanting this classy doormat from

Pottery Barn for a long time.

But at a price tag of $59.00 plus shipping,

I just couldn't justify it.

I checked around the garage and I had the two supplies I needed:

-painters tape

-black spray paint

Awesome! Let's do this!

I took my tape...

and made a border on the outer edge of the mat.

I then measured two inches in and placed another inside border.

Next step was to get my "T".

I printed my letter out on card stock.

I then, very carefully cut my letter out.

I placed the letter in the center of my mat,

leaving 8½ inches on each side.

I finished up by grabbing my tape and filled the middle in.

Final step was spray painting. My favorite part!

I let it dry in the sun for about an hour.

And now I have a welcoming mat that

actually looks welcoming! :)

The part I like best,

the whole project cost me $0 bucks! 

How beautiful is that?!

Now I must return to cleaning my garage.

I will try to stay on task, but no promises!
