Cricut Doormat DIY

 

Have you seen those funny or personalized doormats on the Internet lately? If so, I bet you’ve already done your research to see how much they cost ($25-$40 for special order on Etsy!). These welcome mats are super easy to DIY and personalize with your own creative design (while saving money) and I’ll show you how in this post. This Valentine’s Day Welcome Mat With Free SVG File is also an easy way to update your front door decor for Valentine’s Day!

 

I love this DIY Valentine's Decor idea! Learn how to use your Cricut Explore to make a DIY welcome mat door mat,  Valentine's Welcome mat, DIY home decor on a budget, DIY home decor dollar store, LOVE SHACK, doormat DIY, DIY doormat, personalized doormat, DIY custom doormat,  #DIYdoormat #diywelcomemat #cricutcraftideas #cricutsvgfiles

 

 

✅ The plain doormats I prefer for DIY projects can be found here and they are a good size to easily personalize!

 

You’ll need a Cricut Explore or Silhouette cutting machine to make this project. Just upload the SVG or PNG in the program you use (I use Cricut Design Space), size, cut, and apply!

 

If you don’t have a cutting machine, you can use an alphabet stencil found at your local craft store to create a similar design.

 

What is Cricut Design Space?

 

Cricut Design Space is the program you will need to design and cut your Cricut projects. When you set up your Cricut machine, you will need to install Cricut Design Space. All Cricut machines come with Design Space, their free, easy-to-learn design software. It’s cloud-based so you can access your files from any device, any time. Start on your phone, continue on your laptop, and even work offline – all without breaking stride. From there you have the option to arrange a design from scratch or select from thousands of ready-to-make projects. Place your material on a mat, load it in the machine, and press Go. The machine handles the rest.

Design Space features tons of ideas to kickstart your next masterpiece. Browse and play with thousands of images, fonts, and ready-to-make projects. Since Cricut is adding more all the time, you’ll always find something fresh, new, and inspiring.

 

Do you need a computer to use a Cricut machine?

 

A computer is recommended, however, you can access Cricut Design Space and a Cricut Explore Air machine through mobile devices (iPad, iPhone, and Android devices). I highly recommend using a computer with Cricut Design Space and a Cricut Machine because you will have the full design options in Design Space and your machine needs to be close by to cut (even if you are using wireless Bluetooth).

 

What is Cricut Access?

 

You may have seen or heard about Cricut Access from Cricut or another blogger. Cricut Access is a membership that gives you 10% off your Cricut purchases (and various other offers and discounts) and access to thousands of images and fonts in Cricut Design Space.

I have a Cricut Access Membership, which provides me with thousands of free images to come up with some Cricut craft ideas. Be sure to check Cricut Design Space for some free Cricut projects! Some of the free Cricut DIY projects in Cricut Design Space can be used to sell (which makes the membership fee worth it in my opinion!).

Making personalized gifts, cards, home decor, farmhouse signs, and more is easy with a Cricut Explore Machine.

 

✅ This is the Cricut Machine that I own and use it for everyday materials. I also have this machine but I only use it to cut fabric ????

Learning how to use your Cricut is really easy and fun once you get the hang of it. If you don’t have a Cricut Access Membership, I highly recommend it. I’ve had a Cricut Access Membership for years and it’s definitely worth the cost for all the benefits!

This doormat was so easy to make, I ordered 5 additional plain doormats to make for other holidays. Our new house in Florida has 6 exterior doors… that’s a lot of doors for a 1600 square foot house, right? So I figured that I need a doormat for all 6 doors, hehe.

This is the best rectangle plain welcome mat to make a DIY welcome door mat for funny welcome mat ideas

How to make the Valentine’s Day Welcome Mat With Free SVG File:

Supplies:
  • Cricut Explore
  • SVG file (get it free below or design your own)
  • Heavy Cardstock (any color – this will be your stencil)
  • Plain Doormat (these are a reader favorite!)
  • Fabric Paint (this paint is the best for this project)
  • Stencil brush
  • Painters Tape
  • Gloves (optional)
  • Black and White Buffalo Plaid Rug (optional – if you want to create the layered look like my photos)
Directions:
  1. Gather supplies. You will need a plain doormat (I used this one which shipped to me in 2 days for free!), fabric paint (this type of paint is waterproof to guard against rain, etc), stencil brushes (you can find a pack of these at your local craft store – I wash mine out after every use to extend the life), painters tape (you can find it at your local craft or hardware store), and a stencil ( I show you how to make a stencil using the free SVG file and a Cricut machine below). 
  2. Download the SVG file and upload to Cricut Design Space. Do you need help uploading a file to Cricut, let me know in the comments or send me a message, I’d love to help!
  3. Size the image depending on the size of your doormat. Below I show how I size my images in Cricut. Find the “Hey There Pumpkin” tutorial here. Cricut Design Space how to make a DIY welcome mat for your front door mat
  4. Cut and weed the image (remove the negative part of the cut image, in this case, you will remove the letters inside). I used heavy cardstock to create my stencil. You could use stencil material if you plan to use it again. I throw away the cardstock but you might be able to get another use out of it, depending on the wetness from the paint.
  5. Arrange the image on the doormat using painter’s tape to secure it. I had to carefully place the center for the “A” and put a small piece of painter’s tape behind it to secure to the mat. You will need to be very careful when applying paint around that area. I love this DIY Valentine's Decor idea! Learn how to use your Cricut Explore to make a DIY welcome mat door mat,  Valentine's Welcome mat, DIY home decor on a budget, DIY home decor dollar store, LOVE SHACK, doormat DIY, DIY doormat, personalized doormat, DIY custom doormat,  #DIYdoormat #diywelcomemat #cricutcraftideas #cricutsvgfiles
  6. Use paint and stencil brush to paint inside the image. Wear gloves because you will need to use your fingers to hold down some sides! I use these gloves for every project around the house (so I don’t mess up my nails) and the hubby uses them for big house projects too.
  7. Peel off the vinyl stencil right away to reveal the finished project. You don’t want to leave the stencil on there for very long otherwise the cardstock might stick to the mat. You can fill in any spots with a black sharpie or more paint with a small brush.
  8. Let dry for 24-48 hours before placing outside (in case it rains – fabric paint needs time to dry completely before becoming waterproof).

 

This Valentine’s Day Welcome Mat With Free SVG File will surprise your guests while personalizing your home decor. I can’t wait to try more designs and share them on Instagram!

What Cricut Accessories Do I Need?

 

Cricut Essentials make putting the pieces together a joy. From tweezers that handle delicate parts to Cricut EasyPress for foolproof iron-on, every Essential makes a great project even greater, every step of the way.

These are the Cricut Tools & Accessories I recommend for the serious crafter:

 

Cricut Easy Press

 

Cricut Supplies Beginners

 

 

I highly recommend purchasing the Cricut Easy Press if you plan to do any iron-on or heat transfer projects. The Cricut Easy Press will make your Cricut DIY’s so much easier!

 

The Cricut Easy Press comes in 3 different sizes, however, I own the 9 x 9 and it’s the perfect size for most projects.

If you purchase the Cricut Easy Press, don’t forget to get the coordinating Easy Press Mat, which will protect your surfaces and projects from burning. Alternatively, you can use a folded towel, however, the mat is sleek and easier to store in the craft room 😉

The lightweight, low-profile Cricut BrightPad makes crafting easier while reducing eye strain. It illuminates fine lines for tracing, cut lines for weeding, and more.

I suggest having a variety of cutting mats that are customized to match the weight of commonly used crafting materials. With three different mats specifically designed to work with different weights of materials, you can ensure success in all your projects.

My favorite non-Cricut brand materials

 

You can find other brand vinyl, iron-on, contact paper, and more outside of Cricut.com. A few of my favorites are:

  • Oracal 651 Permanent Vinyl (find it here or at your local craft store)
  • Siser HTV
  • Dollar Tree clear contact paper (or shelf liner)
  • Various fat-quarter fabrics at Walmart
  • Felt sheets at local craft stores

 

 

Learning how to use your Cricut is really easy and fun once you get the hang of it. If you don’t have a Cricut Access Membership, I highly recommend it. I’ve had a Cricut Access Membership for years and it’s definitely worth the cost for all the benefits!

How To Choose a Cricut Machine

I bought my first Cricut machine in 2013… it was called the Cricut mini and was one of the first Cricut machines that didn’t have a keyboard. It was a great machine but as soon as Cricut released the Cricut Explore machine in 2014, I quickly bought it. A year later Cricut released the Cricut Explore Air and I bought that too. Then in 2017, Cricut released the Cricut Maker Machine and of course I bought it too. So you can say I’m pretty experienced with Cricut machines and have in-depth knowledge about using Cricut and various Cricut projects.
