Place the stencil on doormat, trace the outline, and paint the leaf shape.  Let it dry and you’re done with a one-of-a-kind doormat.

3. Pumpkins with Curb Appeal

All you need is a printer, pen, permanent marker, and pumpkin to add some seasonal sophistication.  Simply print out your house number or a 'welcome' in a fun font that fits your style, trace them onto your pumpkin with a ballpoint pen, and fill in with permanent marker. Then pop into your favorite spot on your front porch.
