hey everyone so today i'm going to show
you um how i make
this um
personalized
doormat um
this is the one i did
yesterday
um
so
my doormats i get them ikea
um
i really like this one's because they're
the perfect the perfect size
um the material is really nice
um
the size of this mat are
three feet
by like
two feet i believe
so it's
actually in inches is
35 inches by 23 and a half inches so let
me show you how how i make them okay so
i'm not gonna go into a lot of detail
about how i design the letters and all
that but um
i use the
cricut design space and i always make
sure that my font is uh bowl
that way i
i don't know it just looks
better to me but um i don't know you can
you don't have to but uh to me it makes
a big difference look this is regular
um see and then bowl
i just really it it looks better
um
to me but uh yeah so um for the
last name i like to make it as big as i
can and for that i use the biggest mat
that cricket has is the 24 inches
um and that would let you cut the last
name
up to 23.5 inches long
so uh that's that's big enough for me
that's perfect okay so yeah once i'm
happy with the design i came up with i
put it like this together
it's not attached or anything
um so i just um
put it how i like it and make sure the
measurements are what i want
for this one the
size of the letters
of the last name is 23.5 by
10.9 which is perfect
the family one is 11
by 2 inches
and
and this one is 6.5 by 2 inches so once
i'm ready
to
cut my design i just go
to make it
[Music]
okay and after that we're gonna go to
the side
and make sure you click
mirror
and it's gonna
mirror the
image
so make sure you do that for both
things you're gonna cut or whatever
you're gonna cut so
big mirror
okay the material we're gonna use is
this freezer paper
this is uh what we're gonna cut into
um
so
on the
cricut design space i select the
option
parchment paper
because uh this freezer paper is pretty
thin and
um it doesn't have obviously an uptrend
the freezer paper at least not on mine
um
so
you select an option that option
parchment paper
and then
we are ready to
put this
paper in our mat and make sure when you
put it uh the shiny side is facing up
okay so shiny side up and let's
put it on our mat
[Music]
now we just let our machine do its thing
okay so for this design i'm gonna do i
like to do a a line around it
so i'm gonna be using some duct tape
from the dollar store
and framing the
the line or the rectangle i'm gonna be
painting
okay so when our machine is done cutting
we remove the stencil um remove it
carefully because the freezer paper is
kind of thin so yeah
[Music]
to make sure all my letters are
even so i measure like
uh from here
to the f make sure it's the same and so
here
because i like my um
letters to be perfectly
in the center
and also
so for the corners i didn't put tape
because
i couldn't cut it evenly so i'm gonna
use the same um
freezer paper and i'm just gonna put it
like
that
that way i have like a perfect corner so
i just cut this um
strips in my
cricut um and they're one
right like 14 so it's going to help me
do
the corners so all the corners come out
perfectly
okay so now i have placed the letters in
the center how i want them i measure
this with the same distance as this
over here
and also that the family and
this was in the center
okay so now i'm going to use my
alexa
[Music]
plancha in english
[Music]
are the letters
in place um i put it in the
highest um
level it has um i just got this one it
was pretty cheap at walmart for like
nine bucks and it works perfect so um
what you want to do is
put the
iron
and leave it for
i say five seconds and then move to
another section
for another five seconds
[Music]
now we're gonna spray paint it
so the paint i use is this
it's actually
a sealer
um
and it works perfect
i
i'm not sure what this is for
but it's for exterior stuff
and it works perfectly perfect i did my
research and
i guess this is the best one to do math
first
putting the paint
make sure you do it from the top like
this i'm gonna go
just all around from the top i'm not
gonna go on the side or anything just on
from the top
i forgot we were supposed to cover
all the extra space
so
yeah before you do this make sure you
cover
all
the extra space
and i'm just going to use the same
freezer paper leftovers i had it to
cover all the extra space okay now we're
good to spray paint
[Music]
and after we let it dry for at least 10
minutes we
now can remove the
stencil and tara
and this is what i used to um
seal my mat um
and make sure you get the one that says
clear because i almost got the one that
it was white because the
uh bottle thing it looks the same as
it's in color so make sure you get this
one this is clear and we're just gonna
seal it so it can last us for a long
a funny time um i hope i explained
myself on how i made it if i did it if i
