DIY: Initial Monogram Doormat

I've seen a ton of posts on Pinterest lately about making a chevron doormat. I even had a few pinned and ready to do.

Time needed to tape chevrons on mat > time willing to spend taping mat

Our doormat was just so brown and boring that I wanted it to give it a little pep (for our steps).

After realizing it was going to take more time than I had patience for to tape chevrons on our door mat, I decided I needed a different design.

Since our last name starts with K, I figured I would make an initial doormat. I knew it would be easy to tape off (it was) and not take much time to finish (it didn't), so this was the winner for our doormat design.

DIY: Monogram Initial Doormat

Supplies:

Door mat

Spray paint

Painters or masking tape
Scissors

1. Sweep off your existing mat, or get a new one

2. Tape off your design. Making a K is easy and I think this would work well for other straight letters...might be a little difficult to use tape with a round letter like S or C, but where there's a will there's a way (or if you have a Cricut or Silhouette it'd most definitely work).

3. Spray the mat.

4. Let it dry and peel off the tape

5. Put back in front of your door and admire :)

That's it! This is an easy way to spruce up your doorway and doesn't cost much. I reused our doormat and already had spray paint and the tape handy. This cost me $0. Spray paint is fairly cheap and assuming you already have a doormat, this is a very cheap project. 

Get creative and have some fun!
