DIY * Doormat

Wooden Slat Doormat

The queen of all DIYs and crafts, Martha Stewart, came up with a 'simple' option compared to your everyday doormat, a slatted wooden mini deck! It takes a little bit of knowledge with power tools and above all, patience, but as you can see, the results are pretty cool. Ideal if you've got a muddy surrounding. Hello monsoon season!

Anyway, all you have to do is cut down 2x2s to a uniform size, drill holes and add the strings (tie a knot after each slate). I think it would be handy to sand down the wood first though, and seal it with lacquer, wax and oil or linseed oil for a natural finish once it is assembled.
