Halloween Day #3- Spooky Welcome Mat

Hi KirstiKoo followers!
This is Kelli visiting from LollyJane BOOtique  to show you all how to make a SPOOKY welcome mat.

I was browsing at Target the other day and saw this cute one with a $12 price tag:
Twelve dollars?
To display for 4 weeks?!
No thanks.

So I headed to my local $1 store and picked up this festive mat:

and simply sprayed a coat of haunted Halloween black across the front and
cut a mock stencil with my vinyl cutter and slapped that puppy on.

I dabbed ghostly acrylic white paint across front & center aaaaaaaand

Viola!
A spooky Halloween mat:

This project only cost me $1 since I had everything else on hand.
Take that, Target! :)
Happy Halloween from Lolly Jane!
Thanks for hosting, KirstiKoo!
