How Do You Make a Cricut Door Mat?

Cricut door mats are a great way to customize your home. They can be used to make a statement, add color and personality to your entryway, or even mark a special occasion.

If you have access to a Cricut machine, making your own custom door mat is easy and fun. Here’s how:

1. Choose Your Design
Start by deciding what type of design you want for your door mat.

Will you use a pre-made image from the Cricut library or create one from scratch? Consider what type of statement you’d like to make and pick an image that conveys it.

2. Select Your Materials
Once you’ve chosen a design, it’s time to select the materials for your mat.

You’ll need an outdoor-rated vinyl, such as Oracal 631 or 651. You’ll also need transfer tape or contact paper and an adhesive-backed door mat of some kind, such as coir, rubber, or recycled plastic “grass” mats.

3. Prepare Your Design
Open up your design in Cricut Design Space and size it appropriately for your mat.

Make sure that it fits within the edges of the mat without any pieces spilling over onto the floor around it (you don’t want anyone tripping). When you’re satisfied with the size and placement of your design, cut it out on vinyl using the Cricut machine.

4. Transfer The Vinyl To The Mat
Remove the excess vinyl surrounding the design and then use transfer tape or contact paper to move it onto the adhesive side of the door mat (make sure there are no air bubbles beneath). Once you have it in place, press down firmly on each section with a squeegee or credit card.

5. Enjoy!

Finally, peel away the transfer tape/contact paper from your new custom door mat and enjoy! Place it in front of any doorway for an instant upgrade and personal touch.

Conclusion:

Making a Cricut Door Mat is easy when you have access to a Cricut machine! All you need is some outdoor rated vinyl material, transfer tape/contact paper and an adhesive-backed door mat of some kind (coir, rubber or recycled plastic “grass” mats).

Cut out your design with the Cricut machine, transfer it over to the door mat using transfer tape/contact paper and then peel away once firmly pressed down with a squeegee/credit card – voila! Your very own custom door mat!
