RUG RE-DESIGN.
I followed all most of her directions. I started with the TRAMPA rug from Ikea for $9.00.
It has a very high and thick pile. Perfect for my front door. Shouldn’t blow away like my last one, or two.
I don’t really have a proper word processor on my laptop, so I was unable to do it the “easy way” and print out my font big enough to use as a stencil. So, guess what? I had to draw it larger myself.
I usually don’t struggle with lettering, but this time getting it right was a chore. And since I couldn’t seem to get it perfect, I gave up and just used it anyways.
Thank you, Amy, who has everything I need (and vice versa) just across the street….for the black spray paint to finish my project.
In the basement I laid down my stencil, used painters tape to hold my stencil down on the rug, and covered the rest in newspaper.
And I sprayed it. twice.
And, well…good enough.
I love it.
And I even think I’ve gotten a few people to chuckle as they come to my front door! Now that is what I was going for! Thank you, Pinterest! Are you following me on there yet?????
