HOW TO MAKE A DIY WOODEN DOOR MAT

March 21, 2016 By Aniko 15 Comments

Last week I told you guys about The Home Depot’s awesome DIY WORKSHOP! And today I am here to share my version of the DIY Wood Doormat. I was such fun project, and the outcome is gorgeous!

DIY WOOD DOORMAT

The door mat I made is reversible. Just wait until you see the other side:-)

The original project looked like this on the image below. Some pretty awesome bloggers and I were challenged by THE HOME DEPOT to put our own spin on the project and make it fit our style.

And now let me show you how I made this awesome Wooden doormat!

DIY WOOD DOORMAT

Materials

  • 8 -36″ x 2″ x 2″ Square End Balusters
  • 1 – Natural Sisal Rope
  • Wood Stain ( Brown and Colored)
  • Paintbrush

Tools:

  • Circular Saw
  • Drill
  • Box Cutter
  • Measuring tape
  • Pencil
  • Sanding block
  • Painters Tape
  • Gloves
  • Safety Goggles

DIY WOOD DOORMATSteps to make your door mat:

  • Measure the wood using tape and pencil in half then cut it. You will have 16 18 ” balusters.
  • Using your drill with 3/8″ drill bit, drill holes at both ends of all ( 16) 18″ long sections at 1″ from the end.
  • Send the rough edges of the cut.
  • Stain all of your 18″ pieces (I used Dark Walnut from Minwax)
  • Cut 2 -80″ long pieces of the sisal rope using box cutter
  • I taped off each 18″  balusters for 3 – 6″ sections, paying attention to tape it outside of the 6″ on one and inside of the 6″ on the next piece of wood. Then I painted the 6″ sections with my colored wood stain ( weather resistant)

  • 7. As a last step, tie a knot at the end of one of the 80″ long rope pieces.Thread the other end of the rope through the hole one end of the baluster sections and tie another knot. Continue threading the rope through the holes. Tie a know at the end of the rope when you get to the end.

And this is the reversible side. I had to put my signature painting on it:-) It’s fun, springy and I love it!

    Beautiful and practical for down to earth people. But a very very dangerous first step for any woman wearing high heels.
    It simply is a lawsuit waiting to happen. A high heel will easily slip and trip up an unsuspecting visitor to your home.
    But could be an awesome back door mat!
    I probably will make one for my back door!
