Make It Monday: Monogram doormat

I finally made the doormat that was on my to-do list.  I started with this $6.88 mat from Walmart

 I started taping a border down

I overlapped the tape and decided to cut out the overlapping piece instead of trying to make 2 straight rectangles.

I printed out a "P" from the computer. (Do you think I am jinxing it...because I'm not a "P" Yet???..I am still Ms."M".... but the wedding will be soon...a little over a month..hahah)

 I cut it out and traced it on contact paper

Then I cut that out, along with some circles and stuck them on the mat.

The contact paper didn't stick the best...so there is some black that sprayed under the letter.

But I lovelovelove it! I placed it outside.

Here are some more shots of the deck

My Aunt and Uncle gave us this cool box

 I also painted table and chairs this year...here is the before

and here it is now..looks so much better! 

I got this set at Ikea for $50 a couple of years ago.

What do you think of my $6.88 monogram mat?
