when put the floormat on the floor I found in uninteresting so decide to make a few snowflakes in the centre..don't go crazy with these, a few of different sizes is sufficient..

with a liner I make a cross then ran alternate lines across the star to form a snowflake then with wood tip of your smallest brush I dipped it into white/off white and dabbed in the dots at the end of the snowflake

remember, make small, med and lg.

again it was missing something

oh yes 'snowman smiles'

you can do these with liner brush and black paint SLIGHTLY watered..just enough so when you paint the line you have some length to the paint..think had I had a permanent water based thin liner that's what I would have used BUT on the other side, it running out and making the best of it where it did is made the smiles less structured

just know you don't go over your leave..make the break

found a wider permanent market (water proof)
try it if you are unsure..took a ruler and made a line between boarder and insert..beats painting it without having crooked lines but crooked would be ok
