Directions
1. First, get a brush mat in a solid color. Prepare the stencil as well. For this purpose, print a model chosen from the Internet – there are plenty of them. Then consider tracing the image onto vellum paper. Be sure to use a very sharp knife or box cutter to cut it out without tearing the paper.
2. The other thing to do is place the stencil on your doormat. Once you have found a position that you are happy with, all you have to do is apply acrylic paint, respecting the outlines of the image. If necessary, apply several times on the same place to be sure that the paint has penetrated well.
3. Once the paint is dry, lay out the rug in front of your front door and start adding snakes using hot glue. That's it !
Materials
How do I do it?
1. First, you need to create your stencil designs. Since they are very simple, you won't even need to print them, but can directly reproduce them on adhesive vinyl paper.
2. Then cut out the stencils and attach them to the doormat. Cover the rest of the surface of the mat with masking tape.
3. Apply the black paint directly over the carpet, making sure to spray the stencils well.
4. Finally, remove the vinyl patterns as soon as you are satisfied with the cover and allow to dry for at least 24 hours.
Materials
Achievement
1. The first thing to do is to apply orange paint to the carpet in the form of thick vertical lines.
2. Once the paint is dry, place the stencil in the middle of the doormat and color the spider image with black paint.
3. As soon as you have a painted spider, you can create the web. Begin by connecting each tab to the edge of the doormat using masking tape. Then adjust the lines obtained by several more lines of tape.
4. Paint the spider web with the black paint.
5. Remove the tape when dry. Your spooky decoration is ready!
Materials needed
How do I proceed?
1. Lay the coir mat on a paintable surface (e.g. drop cloth).
2. Cut your stencil downloaded from the Internet.
3. Lay the pattern on top of the mat and tape it firmly in place.
4. Spray spray paint all over the stencil to color well.
5. Let dry 1-2 minutes or until paint is no longer shiny.
6. Remove the stencil. Complete your outdoor Halloween decor with this very original rug!
What do you need:
Directions
1. First, print your models on thicker paper. If you use regular printer paper, the paint will soak in. Then, cut with a cutter.
2. Start with the large bats and attach them to the mat with tape. Also attach the moon to the opposite corner.
3. Place your mat on a protected surface, then cover the areas you don't want exposed.
4. Paint your bats black and your moon white. For the moon, spray several coats of white paint. Do not soak the doormat and allow to dry between coats.
5. Remove the stencils and let dry.
6. Attach your little bat stencil to the top corner where the moon is. Do the same thing you did before with covering some areas so you don't get paint where you don't want it on your Halloween doormat. Spray again light coats of black paint and let dry.
7. Delete the stencil.
Materials
Achievement
Fill the stockings with plastic bags, being careful to respect the natural shape of the feet and the folds for the ankles. Leave the last 10 to 12 cm of the stockings empty. In this way, you will have the possibility of sticking the unpadded part under the doormat. Display in front of the front door to scare your visitors!
Materials
How do I do it?
1. Grasp the two short ends of your rectangular doormat and fold them together as if you were closing a book. With your pencil, draw a line from one corner of the doormat to the middle of the opposite side. Flip the "book" over and replicate the same sloping line so that when your doormat is open you have something that looks like a half circle.
2. With your craft knife, start cutting along your pencil line until you have a half-round doormat.
3. Using the black marker, draw four teeth (rectangles with slightly rounded edges) and two fangs in the middle of the doormat.
4. Pour a generous amount of white paint onto your paper plate and start painting inside your drawn marks. If necessary, apply paint several times on the same place to color the fibers in the nooks and crannies.
5. Let the white paint dry. Meanwhile, write a greeting of your choice in black paint.
6. To finish, add some red paint to the base of the fangs for more detail. Blood always equals terror, right?
Everything you need:
Directions
1. First, make straight lines with paint. Start with the center line, then space the other lines as evenly as possible. Also, you can be very precise with this and measure everything if you want. However, it doesn't have to be perfect.
2. Then add curved lines between the straight lines. You may need to apply two coats of paint to make the lines clear enough. If you stain the doormat, don't worry! Carefully rub off the excess paint with a damp cloth or baby wipe while the paint is still wet.
3. Cut the mat along the outer curved lines. Thus, you will get the shape of a spider web.
4. Let it dry completely and you're ready to display your fall outdoor decor outside the front door.
Materials
Manufacturing
1. Print the wording of your choice on regular printer paper.
2. Lay your print on a flat surface and start going through the letters, filling them in with your white chalk.
3. Flip the print over and place it on your doormat in the desired position and secure with tape.
4. Rub the letters one by one with an eraserless pencil, trying to keep your paper in its original position.
5. Remove the paper and you will see that the lettering has printed onto the mat. Go back over your design with the chalk marker to make the letters even more visible.
6. Finally, you have to put down the witch hat and feet. To create the feet, cut out shoes from black cardboard and buckles from yellow cardboard. Similarly, cut the striped stockings to the desired length and glue the lower part above the shoes and the upper part under the door mat.
