DIY 5 of 26: Placemat Bath-mat

After much searching I could not find a bathroom mat that I completely fell in love with for my new powder room, so I made one using circle place mats. And you can too, super cheap, super easy, super fast! Here is how...

Supplies:

• Four Round Place Mats
• Scissors
• Pins
• Non-slip Rug Pad
• Thread/yard and a Needle/sewing machine (I used thread and a sewing machine, but you could create a more organic or boho look by using yarn! Super cute!)

#1: Line up the place mats so that each of them is on top on one side and underneath on the other side, forming a pinwheel look. Pin them down.

#2: Stitch them together. The black line indicates where to sew.

#3: Cut a piece of the non-slip rug padding so that it completely fits under the mat without showing from the top. Slide the pad under the mat and voilà, you are all set. Here are some pictures of how mine turned out!

Have fun and enjoy making your own colorful, unique bathroom mats. I found some gorgeous place mats at a discount store, made in India with beautiful designs and stitching in gold tread. They did not fit my plan for my powder room but they were so pretty. I am sure you can find some really interesting ones out there for a steal! The whole project cost less than $8, gotta love it!
