You Will Need (6 things)

  • Painters Tape
  • Exacto Knife
  • 2 Adhesive Vinyl
  • 1 Sponge Brush
  • Black Acrylic Paint
  • Welcome Mat

Steps (1 step, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Cut a “hello” stencil out of adhesive vinyl using a cutting machine, such as a Silhouette, or an exacto knife. Remove the backing off of the vinyl and stick to the bottom corner of the welcome mat. You may want to reinforce the adhesive with painters tape around the vinyl stencil. Using a sponge brush, dab acrylic paint onto the stencil. You will find that the vinyl doesn’t stick to the mat very well, so brush inward or dab in up and down motions so you don’t get paint underneath the stencil. You will need to use several coats of pain in order to completely fill the mat’s nooks and crannies. Allow to completely dry before removing the stencil.
