Style up Your Home with a DIY Felt Door Stopper
Easy-to-Build Wall Mounted Door Propping Device for Convenient and Practical Purposes
Why settle for a bland door stopper when you can craft a unique, chic one yourself? Here's a fun and easy tutorial to create a door stop with a pop of color and style.
Gather Your Supplies
- A brick (or any heavy object)
- Felt sheets in various colors
- Twine
- Glue gun (hot) or sewing machine
- Scissors
- Sheet of paper (optional)
Let's Get Started!
- Wrap the brick with twine, knotting it securely on top. Reinforce the knot by wrapping additional twine around it several times. You may need multiple strands of twine for added strength.
- Create a sleeve for the brick by gluing or sewing two pieces of felt together. Make sure to leave a small opening at the top for the twine.
- Slide your brick into the felt sleeve. Line the bottom with a sheet of paper to prevent snags (you can remove it once the sleeve is assembled).
- Close the bottom end of the felt sleeve with hot glue, trimming as necessary. Let cool and then attach a rug pad or rubberized shelving liner to the bottom using the hot glue.
- Thread the twine through the top opening of the felt sleeve, creating two holes. Knot the ends together to form a loop.
- Trim the excess felt and hot glue the top of the sleeve in the shape of a milk carton.
- For a playful touch, add mini tassels to the front of the door stopper (optional).
And there you have it! A stunning, functional door stopper that will add personality to your home.
