Create with paint! Projects from habitat by Resene

DIY: Wooden multi-coloured mat

Make a wooden mat

Looking for a doormat that makes an entrance? Or a bathroom mat that doesn’t end up a soaking mess? Create your own colourful wooden version.

You will need

12 timber slats (all the same size)
Roller and tray
Waterproof rope
Resene Aquaclear
Resene testpots in your choice of colours: we used Resene Scaramanga, Resene Secrets, Resene Coriander and Resene Seaweed
Instructions

Step by step instructions

Top tip: As an alternative to paint, try a stained wooden mat for your bathroom. Use a range of Resene Colorwood testpots of natural wood stain colours and finish in Resene Aquaclear.

Step 1

Step one
Taking the timber slats, drill a hole on the side, one close to the top and the other close to the bottom. This is where you’ll be threading through the rope.

Step 2

Step two
Using the Resene testpots, paint each slat a different colour.

Step 3

Step three
Once dry, apply Resene Aquaclear onto each slat to protect them from any water damage.

Step 4

Step four
Thread the rope through the holes of the timber slats, knotting as you go. We arranged the slats tonally from light to dark.

Step 3

Step Five
It’s ready to use in your bathroom or outside your front door.
