DIY Doormat by Yourself
When the visitors visit your house, his first sight may be the doormat. So a nice doormat is very important to welcome the visitors. If you think the doormat you buy from the stores is too simple, then you can make a personalized doormat by yourself.
Now let's get started!
Materials:
- A plain doormat
- Masking tape
- Exterior spray paint
- A big letter
- Diet Dr. Pepper
Instructions:
1. Use masking tape to cover up the areas that you don't want painted. If you don’t have the right size masking tape on hand, you could easily use paper strips to create your borders. Just secure them in place with straight pins.
2. Put the letter in the center of your mat and mask off two smaller areas.
3.Give all the exposed areas a good coat of the spray paint. The trick to this step is to spray straight down as much as possible. If you spray at an angle, you risk getting paint under your tape.
4. Let the whole thing dry for about an hour.
5. Peel back your tape.

Easy Craft - DIY Pillowcase
A personalized pillow case is always needed for a pillow if you want to keep your pillow clean and give your bed a new look. And, luckily, the pillow case is also easy to make. Everyone who loves diy can make it by herself.
Supplies:
- fabric
- pillow
- pin
- scissors
Instructions:
1. Washing and ironing your fabric. This allows for any shrinking that may occur and when you go to cut and sew, it’s much easier to do it on smooth rather than wrinkled fabric.
2. Start measuring and cutting. For the width, add 1” to the width of your pillow, and for the length, multiply the length of your pillow by 2 and then add another 6”. For example, if you have a 14” x 14” pillow, you should cut a piece of fabric that was 15” wide, which allows for a .5” seam allowance on either side, and 34” long ([14 x 2] + 6 = 34), which allows for a 1” turn-over on both sides and a total overlap of 4”.
3. Next, on the short sides, turn your edge over .5” and iron. Then, turn it over another .5” and iron. Then, sew the seam along the edge. Do the same thing to the other short side.
4. Once your short sides are hemmed, lay your fabric on the table right side up. Take your pillow form, place it in the middle of your fabric, and fold your fabric over your pillow.
5. Make sure the fabric is lined up on either side and fits snug around the pillow. Then, pin the two flaps of fabric together on either side. At this point, you can slide the pillow out of the fabric. Once your pillow is removed, pin both sides of the fabric together along the sides.
6. Once your sides are pinned, its time to sew! Just sew in a straight line along the edges you have pinned. After you've sewn both sides, turn your pillowcase right side out through the open flap you have in the middle.
And that’s it! All you need to do is to insert the pillow into the case.
