Today we are starting off strong with this spooky and adorable customized doormat! It is super easy to make and adds a fun touch to your porch decor!

How to Make a Spooky Customized Doormat

Supplies:

Plain Doormat (I got mine on Amazon here)
White and Black Acrylic or Fabric Paint (I used fabric paint I got on Amazon)
Clear Sealer (Amazon)
Sharpie
Small paintbrush and a stenciling brush (my stenciling brush is from The Dollar Tree)

Method:

Using a piece of paper, I cut out 4 different ghost shapes. Using the Sharpie, I traced them randomly all over the doormat.
Using the small paintbrush and the white paint, outline each ghost. Then, fill in the rest with the stencil brush in a tapping motion. I did 2 coats for each ghost. Let dry for 24 hours.
For the eyes, I dipped the end of a sponge brush in the black paint and dabbed them on each ghost.
Once the black paint is dried, I gave the doormat 2 coats of the clear sealer giving 15 minutes in between each coat.
