How to Stencil a Doormat with Cricut

Yes, you can do the template with Cricut! This fun lesson will teach you how to design a balcony or rug with Cricut. There is nothing more fun and attractive in your backyard than a custom made play mat.

This application is intelligent, reads "entry" or "exit" depending on which side you are on.

I wanted to write "welcome" or "hello" on the floor, but asked my 12-year-old son what he wanted. He said he saw an online that was beautiful because it could be read both ways. So I copied it. Just for him. He is very proud.

Start by cutting a piece of glossy paper to fit the 12x24 lightweight mattress, placing it on the glossy side / wax mat on the adhesive mattress. Upload the image to Cricut Design Space and resize it to shrink to 23.5 inches. Then insert the mattress and cut out the glossy paper.

Now carefully remove each letter cut from the freezing paper and discard. We only use the outer space for the template.

Remember to remember the inside of the letters!

The template should look like this. Everything you want to draw in the finished form should be drawn with a stencil.

Next, carefully remove the freezing paper from the mattress and place it on the mattress. Use EasyPress mini to heat the freezer and "glue" it to the floor in certain places. The glossy paper wax surface will melt easily and stick to the fabric.

If you use this technique on a shirt, it is very easy. This carpet will not fit well because it has such a texture. Clamp in place, then fasten the freezing paper to the floor with flat pegs.

Then add the letters in the center. Click on them and tighten.

It's time to shoot! Use a stencil brush and exterior paint. When drawing, hold the template with your non-dominant hand. Use the top-down method directly to prevent ink from falling under the stencil.

Fill the entire cavity with paint, then clean the brush.

Once you have cleaned the brush, but without drying the paint, remove the glossy paper from the carpet.

We present you a beautiful porch carpet with print!

You can now create as many individual mattresses as you want. Build your business, give as a gift or just give to renovate your yard.

The only question is: do you invite guests to ... or tell them to go! ?
