Cricut Chalkboard Vinyl
This time I used chalkboard vinyl, for a couple of reasons.
- I had it on hand
- It's a thicker, more sturdy material, and I wanted to see how it would stick onto the Coir mat.
Using the chalkboard, vinyl turned out awesome. It was terrific to work with, and I am glad I used it.
You can use any adhesive vinyl that you want to, but I think you will be happy with the chalkboard vinyl for this DIY doormat

Will This Doormat Last A While?
Yes, by using Flex Seal, you will get a beautiful finish that lasts.
You don't have to worry about bringing it indoors if it rains. It's meant to get a little wet or snowy. I
f it eventually comes off, then you can always go back over it again with updated Cricut vinyl.
How Do You Keep A Doormat Clean?
Keeping your new Halloween doormat clean is pretty simple. I like to hang it up outside and beat the opposite side of the doormat with a broom. This will know the dust, leaves, or grass particles out of the rug.
Another option is to use a vacuum cleaner to suck up anything that is stuck on it.
Don't worry, if you are looking for even more crafts to do; I got you covered.

Materials
- blank Coir Mat
- Cricut Chalkboard vinyl
- Transfer Tape
- Masking tape
- Flex Seal
Tools
- Cricut Standard Grip Mat
- Cricut Machine
- Weeding Tool
- Vinyl Scraper or
- Brayer
Instructions
- Use Cricut design space to make the design or use mine linked above.
- Cut a stencil from the chalkboard vinyl with your Cricut machine.
- Weed the vinyl opposite what you would normally and apply transfer Tape to your stencil (I use some that I have used over and over so most of the sticky is gone)
- Apply the chalkboard vinyl onto the mat
- Carefully pull off the transfer paper leaving your custom stencil behind onto the mat
- Use the masking tape to tape down the stencil
- Using the tape cover the remainder of the mat so that you only get Flex seal where you want it
- Hold the flex seal nozzle directly above the mat, making sure to stay above and spray over your words until they are fully covered
- Remove the vinyl stencil as soon as you are happy with the coverage and allow to dry for at least 24 hours
Notes
The chalkboard vinyl is thicker and stiffer so it worked amazing for this Halloween doormat, plus it stuck better to the cior.

Really cute! Where do you get the Flex Seal? This is a type of SPray Paint?
