Valentine burlap door mat
Valentine burlap door mat
I found my inspiration Honey were home. She had purchased her door mat at target. Then she wrote the words and heart on. I had these awesome rooster rugs lying around. I purchased them from the dollar store a while back. I cut some white fabric and Mod Podged it over the rooster ( to act as a primer). I cut and Mod Podged burlap over top of the fabric layer. I used the iron on low to smooth out wrinkles. I forgot to take pictures of the next step. I cut a freezer paper stencil on the silhouette machine. I ironed it on. Then sponge painted my stencil. I was happy with my rug just like this. I set it out in front of my door for a few days and the edges of the burlap started coming apart. You know how burlap is! So, I decided I better put some kind of trim on the edge. I had a bunch of quilt binding kicking around. I don’t quilt, people always give me random stuff! Which I love! trash to treasure. I had this perfect red polka dot binding. I simply hot glued it around the edges of my rug. Problem fixed!

Very cute! I’m not the craftiest person in the world, but this looks like something I could manage!! And I totally need a new mat. Shoot…I don’t know if I have a mat still…I think it blew away with a big storm this summer!

That is such a fun idea for the holidays. If I had the time and creative energy, I think it would be fun to make a new one for each holiday or season.

I never would have thought to do that, but I love it! It was smart to put the binding around the sides too.
