DIY Summer Fun “Whale”come doormat

It seems that I have made doormats for almost every season and occasion, including these Halloween and Valentines doormats I made.  I was feeling like the summer doormat I had made several years ago just wasn’t cutting it anymore.  It is just too plain and boring for my summer decorating needs.  I wanted to create something that could go with my beach theme decor. While looking on lovesvg.com I came across this darling Whale Hello cut file,  I knew this was what I wanted to put on a doormat to go along with my beach themed decor. I downloaded the file and then got my supplies together and got to work!

Allow to dry. After the paint is dry display on your porch or in your home.  I placed mine outside on my porch but, this doormat could be fun in the kitchen, bathroom, or garage entrance.
