In reply to Colleen Pastoor. Could I do this with chalk first, as a guide? And then put the paint over it?

Do you seal it? Is this outside all the time? Wondering about the lettering washing away with the elements of rain and scraping shoes off.

In reply to Kelly Loberger. It's still going strong more than one year later! That's the beauty of pushing it down into the fibers. The coir has darkened but we still get compliments on it.

In reply to Kelly Loberger. We still have it outside our front door! The lettering has held up incredibly well, while the coir has darkened from our wet winters :)

Love the tutorial! Thinking about trying this. Now that it has been a while since you made it, how long did the lettering hold up after being used to scrape off shoes?? Thank you!!

In reply to Susan Wolpert. You could totally use the stencil and this method together!

That was fabulous. I was going to use stencil vinyl but if you had problem with bleed and it really only sits on top of the mat, I would much rather do it your way. So glad I found you!!! Thank you.
