How to Stencil a Welcome Mat | Hello Pumpkin Stenciled Door Mat Project
Say "Welcome" to Fall with this Hello Pumpkin Stenciled Door Mat Project from Designer Stencils.
Here's what you'll need:
- Hello Pumpkin Halloween Craft Stencil (12"x18")
- Americana Acrylic Paint
- Pumpkin Spice
- Burnt Orange
- Buttermilk
- Kelly Green
- Americana Fabric Medium
- Stencil Brush Black Bristle
- Repositionable Spray Adhesive
- Frog Tape Painter's Tape
- Paper Plates
- Coir Door Mat (18"x30")
First, spray the underside of your stencil with Repositionable Spray Adhesive.
After a few seconds, position the stencil in the center of your mat and secure in place using some Frog Tape.
Next, use small pieces of Frog Tape to mask the stem element of the pumpkin design.
Also, mask the "h" element along the side of the pumpkin.
Shake your bottle of Pumpkin Spice Americana Acrylic Paint prior to pouring out a small amount on a paper plate.
Next, add an equal amount of Americana Fabric Medium and mix completely.
Remove excess paint from the brush by dragging the brush on the side of the plate.
Stipple the paint through the stencil using moderate pressure to ensure that the paint is travelling deep into the rug.
Reloading the paint as needed, continue until the rug is evenly and completely colored.
Now, move the tape to cover the portion of the pumpkin element that's adjacent to the letter "h".
Mix some Burnt Orange paint with the Fabric Medium for the next step.
Stencil the word "hello" as you did earlier with the pumpkin body.
Repeat the same process using Buttermilk for the "PUMPKIN" text.
After masking the surrounding area, use Kelly Green to stencil the stem elements of the pumpkin design.
If necessary, touch up any areas that need more paint.
Allow the paint to dry completely before using.
Once finished, peel away the stencil and tape to reveal your festive new welcome mat!
