How to Make a Festive DIY Door Mat
Work in a well-ventilated outdoor area before spraying.
Lay down cardboard or a drop sheet to protect surrounding surfaces from overspray.
Make sure your doormat is clean and free from dirt, dust and debris.
Choose the shapes or lettering you want to use on your mat.
Draw your design onto cardboard.
Cut out your shapes carefully using scissors.
Position the stencils on your doormat and move them around until you are happy with the layout.
Tape the stencils securely to help stop them from shifting while you spray.
Keep an extra piece of cardboard nearby to help block overspray around the stencil edges.

Now it is time to bring your design to life with colour.
Shake your White Knight Squirts cans thoroughly before use.
Hold the can around 15 to 20 cm from the surface.
Spray lightly over the stencil in thin, even layers.
Use Metallic Green for Christmas tree shapes or leafy festive designs.
Use Metallic Red for baubles, stars, lettering or feature details.
Alternate colours to create a fun festive effect.
Use a spare piece of cardboard to help protect nearby areas from overspray.
Avoid applying too much paint at once, as light coats give you more control.
Allow the paint to dry before handling the mat.

Once the paint is dry, it is time for the best part.
Carefully remove the tape and cardboard stencils.
Peel slowly to help keep the design edges neat.
Check that the paint is fully dry before placing the mat at your front door.
Style your entryway with Christmas décor, potted plants or a festive wreath.
Enjoy your custom Christmas welcome mat every time you arrive home.
