<\/p>\nEaster is creeping right up on us this year.\u00a0 We have friends coming into town this weekend, and then we have lots of family coming into town for Easter and for Little Miss’s baptism.\u00a0 I thought it was time to get in the spirit and to start adding to some Easter decor.\u00a0 I love seeing a cute door mat with a holiday theme and knew Easter was the perfect time to make a cute one. Plus, the front door will actually be used by our guests, so I want to spiff it up.\u00a0 \u00a0This project was super easy, and I am really happy with how it turned out.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I purchased a blank doormat from IKEA for just $5.oo.\u00a0 What a great deal!\u00a0 Another\u00a0 of the many things I love about Charlotte is that IKEA is so close.\u00a0 If you do not live close to an IKEA,\u00a0 you can buy a blank doormat online.\u00a0 I found this one<\/a> on Amazon.<\/p>\n I then used my Cameo Silhouette<\/a> to cut out a bunny design. I really love my Cameo<\/a>.\u00a0 I have had it for a couple years and do not use it all the time.\u00a0 However, when I do, I absolutely\u00a0love it and enjoy the projects I am able to complete with this little machine.\u00a0 \u00a0Instead of using the expensive vinyl that they recommend using, I picked up some contact paper from the dollar store.<\/p>\n Once the bunny was cut, I peeled back the sticky side and attempted to stick it to the mat.\u00a0 It didn’t stick that well due to the mat’s material. It had just enough stick to not move around while I was working, though.\u00a0 I used some pastel craft paint that I had on hand and used the cutout as a stencil and started patting away.<\/p>\n When I was finished stenciling, I used a small brush to get the paint really into the mat.\u00a0 I left a circle for the tail, and then I went back and painted it white.<\/p>\n Creating this special door mat was a fun and easy project.\u00a0 I think I might be doing some more custom doormats.\u00a0 While I worked on the rug, Little Miss enjoyed the fun by painting the same bunnies on some paper.\u00a0 She kept telling me how much fun she was having.\u00a0 I have to agree. It doesn’t get any better than listening to the music from Trolls<\/em> and doing a craft with my daughter.<\/p>\n I am so happy with how this Easter doormat turned out.\u00a0 Little Miss agrees as she kept saying it is “so so\u00a0so cute.”\u00a0 It is a perfect touch of spring and Easter to welcome our friends and family to our home.<\/p>\n I hope you enjoyed this tutorial on how to make an Easter door mat.\u00a0 Happy Spring!<\/p>\n Cheers!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Rug-2.jpg\")
