Make a Monogrammed Holiday Doormat

Bring holiday cheer to every part of the home, including the outdoor entry, by making a personalized doormat. To create this project you'll need: a solid, natural doormat; spray paint; spray polyurethane; cardboard; a utility knife; measuring tape; a pencil; paper; vinyl; wood or fabric monogram letters; and painter's tape.

Place doormat directly on top of cardboard. Use a pencil to trace entire perimeter of the doormat to cardboard, then cut out shape with a utility knife.

Sketch design ideas for the doormat onto paper.

Use a measuring tape to determine the center point of the doormat stencil. Mark this point with a pencil.
