Cricut Ramadan Doormat DIY

Create your own, customizable, fun & cheeky Ramadan doormat on your Cricut.

This Cricut Ramadan Doormat DIY is playful. Fun, cute, silly, but also difficult. I’m going to be real honest here, it’s not a quick and easy craft. It’s a craft that takes time and a load of patience – particularly if you’ve never dealt with a doormat and it’s unkind texture. Because your vinyl won’t stick very well, but is it worth it in the end? We think so. A YouTube tutorial for this Ramadan Cricut craft is on its way over on our YouTube channel. Subscribe & follow to get notifications. We hope to bring you more Ramadan Cricut projects & ideas in the future!

Supplies

Let’s run through the supplies really quick. Because this craft does need a fair amount of more unusual pieces due to it’s size. Products are linked, or visit our Amazon storefront

Cricut – we used the Explorer 2
Large 12×24 Cricut Cutting Mat
Large Removable Vinyl
- We heard permanent vinyl is better for this project, but we used removable
Large transfer tape
Weeding tools
Scissors
Doormat
- Amazon
- IKEA
Paint possibilities – pick one:
- Flex Seal paint
- Rust Oleum paint
- Outdoor Acrylic Paint – we did this
Foam paintbrush
Thin paintbrush
Painter’s tape

Create the message for the doormat

Measure your mat
1. The IKEA one was 35 wide 23 ½ inches tall
Determine what size you’d like your message. Ours was around 12 tall x 17 ½ wide
Design your message, or use ours – get it here
Select all of the words by highlighting them
Group them together
Leave them highlighted and weld the message together

Make it into a stencil

Go to shapes and add a rectangle.
Make the rectangle the same size as the letters
Move the message group above the rectangle
Highlight the message & the rectangle
Slice everything together

Leave just the stencil

Now remove the top 2 layers of the design.
Delete the just font layers until you’re left with the box with the font stencil
Now it’s time to print

Place the vinyl on the cutting mat

Now it’s time to cut the vinyl to size
We cut a 12×18 size for the vinyl
Lay the vinyl on your printing mat, make sure to get all the air bubbles out.
And make sure you have lots of space behind your Cricut for your mat to go through

Cut the message

On your Cricut machine select vinyl
Select ‘make it’
Hit continue
Load your mat & hit the loading button on your machine
Once loaded, hit cut on your machine
Once it’s done cutting, unload the mat

Weed out the message

Take the vinyl off the mat
Wed your stencil by removing the letters and the far outside area to leave the rectangle in place

Place the transfer tape on top

Trim your transfer tape to size
Take your transfer tape and place it over the top of your stencil, smoothing out any bubbles

Remove the vinyl

Before you peel, measure the stencil and mark where you’d like to place it on your doormat. So you’re ready to go.
Peel the transfer tape and stencil away from the stencil backing
This takes a lot of patience, go slow

Place the message on the doormat

Lay down your heat pad or towel, doubled over, on your table. Place your blanket on top. Next, figure out spacing of the lanterns. We did 2 1/2 inches in between, but I would bump that up to 3 or 3 1/2 inches space. Heat the iron to 315 degrees while doing this.

Tape the message down

Place the stencil on the doormat lightly. Before you push it down, measure once more to make sure it’s centered
Scrape the stencil down onto the doormat
As you start to peel the contact paper off, start to tape down your design. Use loads of tape and be careful – your stencil will still move.
Continue to peel the transfer tape off and add the rest of your tape

Paint

Take your acrylic or outdoor paint and using a foam brush, paint over the stencil. Make sure you do it around medium pressure. Don’t worry about every crevice, you can fill that in after the stencil is off. You really want to make sure at least the outline is there
Remove the stencil once you’re done or wait around 10 minutes. As always, be careful as the paint is wet
Weed out the smaller sections

After the stencil

Not great. Let’s fill it in.

Fill in

Take your thin paintbrush and go in to finish filling out the message and smoothing out the design. Much better!

On display

Let it sit for 24 hours before doing anything

DIY Shrinky Dinks for Ramadan

Who doesn’t love shrinky dinks?! It’s big, then it’s little! Your kids will love this Ramadan craft.

Everyone loves these Ramadan DIY shrinky dinks for Ramadan! Not only are they super cute, hello mini stuff, but they’re super satisfying to watch shrink. And it’s truly easier than you think. These would make super fun gifts for the kids, or a great activity to keep the kids busy during Ramadan. Plus, you’ll get so many shrinky dinks out of the supplies, you can invite all the kids over!

We’ll be using our printables as the images for the shrinky dinks – you can download them below. There are a ton of options on the sheets from: image ready ones to ones to color sheet ones. We prefer to print all of them and have an array of printables.

Sign up for our newsletter and get all the DIYs sent to you email every time. And make sure to follow us on Instagram for more Ramadan & Eid inspiration.

Note: This post contains affiliate links. You can read our privacy policy.

Let’s make these Ramadan shrinky dinks!

At the minimum, you’ll need these printable shrinky dink papers for inkjet printers, an inkjet printer, sharpies and scissors. You can do some extra things to your shrinky dinks like make them into keychains or magnets – so grab those supplies (listed at the bottom of the article) if you’ll be doing that!

You must have an inkjet printer for the paper to work! Make sure to set your printer to print for a matte paper and make sure the printer prints onto the flat/matte side! It will not print on the shiny side.

After printing the shrinky dinks on the paper, it’s time to color the coloring sheet ones. And all you need to color, are sharpie pens. We adore the neon set to make a fun punch of color. But any color sharpie will work. You must color on the matte side!

Time to cut the shrinky dinks out. A little note. If you’ve accidentally torn the shrinky dink a little when cutting out the images – don’t worry. It’ll come back together when it’s in the oven.

If you’re going to make them into a keychain – it’s time to make a hole in them. You’ll need a large hand hole puncher, or make several holes to create one larger hole. Remember it will shrink greatly so you need to create a pretty big hole to make it into a keychain. We recommend at least one centimeter in diameter.

Now it’s time to bake and shrink! Turn your oven, or convection oven, to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Once it’s preheated, put the shrink dinks on a tray, matte side up, and place in the oven for about 2-3 minutes. They’ll curl up so much you think they won’t lay flat, then just like that, they’ll uncurl and stay flat. Once they flatten back down keep in the oven for about 30 more minutes – then take out.

Once they come out of the oven, take them out of the tray immediately and flatten them with a flat object – like a measuring cup. They will cool instantly so make sure to do this step quickly. And be careful as they are hot and you don’t want to get burned!

Here’s a little before of what size the shrinky dinks were.

Look at how much they shrunk after! It’s really so much fun.

Finish the keychains

Remember you have to hole punch a sizable hole before baking. After they’ve baked and cooled, place a string into the hole and tie. Then tie the keychain ring onto the string.

Make it a magnet

After it’s baked all you’ll need to do is add an adhesive magnet.

We cut the magnet to a smaller size than the shrinky dinks, it doesn’t need to cover the entire thing. You’ll peel the magnet off and add to the shrinky dink – it’s just that easy.

Supplies

Products are linked, or visit our full Amazon store

Shrinky Dink printable paper
Inkjet printer
Scissors
Sharpies – neon pack or electro pop pack

Optional:

String
Keychain ring
Adhesive magnet
Single paper hole punch

Instructions

You must have an inkjet printer for the paper to work. Set your printer to print for matte paper.
Prints onto the flat/matte side.
If you have the coloring sheet printables – it’s time to color them in with sharpie pens. Color on the matte side.
Time to cut the shrinky dinks out.
If you’re going to make them into a keychain: you’ll need a large hand hole puncher, or make several holes to create a larger hole. We recommend at least one centimeter in diameter.
Turn your oven, or convection oven, to 325 degrees fahrenheit. Once it’s preheated, put lay the shrink dinks on a tray and place in the oven for about 2-3 minutes. They’ll curl, then uncurl and stay flat. Once they flatten back down keep in the oven for about 30 more minutes – then take out.
Take them out of the tray immediately and flatten them with a flat object – like a measuring cup. They will cool instantly so make sure to do this step quickly. And be careful as they are hot and you don’t want to get burned.

Make it a keychain or a magnet

Keychain

Remember you have to hole punch a sizable hole before baking – at least one centimeter.
Bake.
Place the string into the hole and tie. Then tie the keychain ring onto the string.

Magnet

Bake.
Cut the adhesive magnets down to size and stick onto the back of the shrinky dinks.

DIY Ramadan Coffee Mugs with Sharpies_article cover

DIY Ramadan Coffee Mugs with Sharpies

This is a super cute Ramadan craft for the entire family.

These DIY Ramadan coffee mugs with sharpies have never ending options. Make a few for each family member for iftar. Create gifts for loved ones for Eid. Or, and my favorite, capture your child’s drawing abilities on a mug. And make sure to check the supplies list because we’re using oil-based paint markers. Regular Sharpies just aren’t going to stay on.

Sign up for our newsletter and get all the DIYs sent to you email every time. And make sure to follow us on Instagram for more Ramadan & Eid inspiration.

Note: This post contains affiliate links. You can read our privacy policy.

Let’s start this off with all the notes. Regular sharpies aren’t going to cut it. They’ll just end up coming off – go with the oil-based sharpies. And please note the colors change once you bake them. Just like glazing pottery, the end result ends up being different sometimes. The baking directions are pretty specific, so make sure you read them to a T. We did a lot of research for these so it’s best to follow what we’ve outlined.

For this Ramadan craft we’ve got options for those who know how to draw, and those of us that can’t. So don’t fret, the entire family can get involved – printables at the bottom. We even think this is a great craft for teens this ramadan!

Lastly, cheap mugs work best because their glaze isn’t great, letting your Sharpie stay on better.

Supplies

Let’s talk supplies first. You can always skip to the bottom for all the supplies & instructions.

Products are linked or visit our Amazon storefront.

- Oil based paint sharpies
- Cheap mugs
- Scissors
- Tape
- Silicone craft pad
- Printable – link below

Free draw

Grab the kids and free draw! We vote it’s more fun to let the children draw out whatever they want, as opposed to using a stencil. It’s really fun to capture their age and abilities to draw through this craft. Another reminder about the colors – they will change in the oven. Just like the pottery glazes will shift colors in the fire.

Use Cut Outs

For those of use that can’t draw, use our printable cutouts! You can either outline them with a solid line or dot around the images. This makes for a much nicer mug that looks way better than your freehand drawing.

If you’re using the printable cut outs, go ahead and take your time cutting them off.

Next up, take some tape and adhere the images to the mug. What’s fun is we have a bunch of different images so you can make the mugs however you’d like. Then take your sharpie and dot around the image or outline them.

Here are the free draws from the kids and the adults. Obviously, one adult really knows how to draw! But check out how adorable the little ones are.

Supplies

Products are linked or visit our Amazon storefront.

Sharpies
Cheap Mugs
Scissors
Tape
Silicone craft pad
Printable

Instructions

Wash your mugs
Dry fully
If you’re free drawing just go for it
1. Remember the colors will change once you bake them
If you’re using the printable
1. Cut the printables out
2. Tape the cut out how you want them on the mug
3. Dot or trace the images
Once you’re done place the mugs in a cold oven.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Once it’s reached temperature, bake for 30 minutes. This really smells! Make sure to put the fan on and open windows.
Once it’s been 30 minutes, turn the oven off and LEAVE THE MUGS IN A CLOSED OVEN.
Cool for 15 minutes, then slightly crack the oven and let it cool overnight.
This should help seal the sharpies onto the mug.
Hand wash the mugs once you use them.

Fasting Dua Magnet Printable

A DIY printable magnet, to help remember our duas before we fast & when we break our fast.

You need this fasting dua magnet printable! To help remind you what to say when you start or break your fast. Maybe you’ve forgotten, or a revert. Whatever the case, we have you covered.

They make such a fantastic craft gift to your iftar guests, to friends and family as well. It’s a nice thoughtful, and easy gift to hand out.

This Islamic printable was designed by Reham ElGhousen at Dukkan Afandi or on IG at dukkan_afandi. We love her bold, yet simplistic designs and products.

Note: This post contains affiliate links. You can read our privacy page.

Supplies

Here’s what you’ll need to make the magnets: our dua printable, premium vinyl sticker paper or cardstock, a flexible magnet and scissors. For a full list of where we picked up our supplies – head to the bottom.

Print & Cut

First thing, you’ll need to download our printable – see below. Next, you can print the printable onto premium vinyl sticker paper or just plain card stock. We’ve found that both work well, but our guess is the adhesive will look nicer longer.

After it’s printed, cut the printables out. We love using the paper cutter for the smoothest lines, but scissors obviously work as well!

Cut the Magnet

Cut out the magnet to match the size of the image. We recommend cutting just a little under so the magnet sits underneath the printable. But not too much smaller or the printable will start to bend and look bad.

Peel & Stick

Peel off the magnet, if adhesive, and peel the adhesive dua sticker – place onto magnet. Be careful, you won’t be able to un-stick it, so line it up correct the first time!

Trim

Trim any magnet that’s showing from the front. The magnet cuts really easily so this should be a breeze.

Repeat & Hang

Repeat with each dua magnet printable. Then hang! We love to hang it on the fridge, right next to our Ramadan calendar. That way we’re reminded to say our du’a before fasting and when breaking our fast. Bismillah!

Supplies

Head to our Amazon store.

Dua Printable
Premium vinyl sticker paper or cardstock
Flexible magnet sheet – 5”x7”
Scissors or craft paper cutter

Directions

Print the printable onto premium vinyl sticker paper or cardstock.
Cut out the dua magnet images.
Cut out the magnet to match the size of the image. Making it just slightly smaller.
Peel off the magnet, if adhesive, and peel the adhesive dua sticker. Place onto the magnet. Be careful, you won’t be able to un-stick it.
Trim any magnet that’s showing.
Done!

Showcase it! When you print up the Fasting Dua Magnet Printable, make sure to tag us in your photos. We look forward to seeing how you’ve displayed it!

Let’s get into how to make the tassels and hang it up.

How to Make the Tassel & Hang

Take a single hole puncher and make three holes. You’ll punch out the top corner dots – that’s where you’ll hang it. And then, if you’re making a tassel, cut the last hole in the bottom center point.

Grab your favorite color yarn and keep one end pointing down like so…

Then start wrapping it around your palm. 20 wraps make a nice and thick tassel.

Once you’ve gone around 20 times, keep the yarn around your palm. You’re going to thread the string at the top of the loop and tie. Make sure to leave more string than we did as that string will be tied to the banner!

Then cut the bottom portion of make the tassel. Finally, give it a trim and you’re all good.

Tie the tassel onto the bottom hole of the banner.

Now grab another piece of yarn and thread it through one hole, double tying in a knot on the back. Thread it through the other end and tie into a knot.

Cut the bottom portion to make the tassel.
Give the tassel a trim to make it even.
Tie the tassel onto the bottom hole of the banner.
Grab another piece of yarn and thread it through the top hole of the banner to hang. Double tie the knot on the back.
Thread it through the other end and tie into a knot.
Now display and have a Happy Ramadan!

Let’s see all the fun ways to use the printable!

Full Size

For the normal, or large sized box, all you have to do is hit print. No customizing the size. Once it’s printed you’ll cut out along the solid lines. Then fold on the dotted lines. We recommend that you tape the inside of the box for maximum hold – but it isn’t necessary.

We love these sharp scissors to really get into the corners, and this paper cutter for clean straight-line cuts.

Once the box is assembled, all you have to do is fill the box with a gift and write the recipients name on it!

Customize the Size

If you’re looking to print different sizes, follow the guide below. You can really customize the sizes to whatever percentage you set the printer to. If you want to duplicate what we did with the large, medium and small boxes you’ll need to print to normal size, 70% and 50%. Have fun!

How to Make a Smaller Box:

Hit print
Go to ‘more settings’
Go to ‘scale’ – hit ‘custom’
Select the the size you’d like – we did 70% for the medium size and 50% for the small size

Supplies

Cricut Explorer or higher
Blanket – we got a fleece in dark grey
Heat transfer vinyl glitter (HTV) or regular
Strong grip mat
Scissors
Weeding tools
Iron or Cricut Heat Press
Heat pad or towel

How to make the Ramadan Cricut Blanket DIY

The first thing you need to do is open Cricut on your computer. Then download our lantern file, at the bottom of the article. Once you do, upload the png file to Cricut. We choose moderately complex. No background remover needed so just select apply & continue. Next select cut image and hit upload.

Configure the Image

Once it’s uploaded, select the image and hit add to canvas. Now that you’ve got one lantern, you’re going to want to make it approximately 3 inches wide by 6 inches tall. Now duplicate that image five times, for a total of six lanterns.

For the advanced Cricuters out there, you could even place a box on top of the large part of the lantern and make a cut out there or add another color and layer the vinyl.

The lanterns will be printed on a strong grip mat, and we’re using glitter heat transfer vinyl (HTV) so we need to keep it within the roll we have, which means it can’t go over 12 inches wide, and 12 inches tall.

Print

Time to send to the printer. Click ‘make it’ and make sure that all of your lanterns appear on your mat. If not, you’ll need to adjust their sizes ever so smaller for it to fit.

When you’re dealing with HTV you always want to hit the mirror button, so turn that on. Now because these lanterns aren’t words, they’ll cut the same regardless of mirroring, I still do it to get into the habit.

Before you print make sure your dial is on the correct setting! Switch your knob to custom, then select glitter iron-on. Glitter is a little thicker and we want a nice clean cut. Pressure setting, default. If you’re not doing glitter you can select the regular iron-on knob on your Cricut.

Grab your strong grip mat and cut the iron-on to the size you’ve made it. Glitter vinyl is so thick that typically a regular stick grip mat won’t hold your HTV well enough in place. If you’ve got an area where there are no lanterns, go ahead and trim that glitter out. No need to waste glitter HTV.

Make sure to place the HTV shiny side up! We did a total of 7 lanterns, because honestly, we messed up the first cut and we’ll explain how in the next step. But print as many as you want!

Let the Cricut cut it our your lanterns. Never mind the change of mats in the photo, let us tell you what happened. We didn’t understand the depth of the cut on our lanterns. We did a first run but the lanterns weren’t completely cut out, like traditional vinyl, and so we kept going until we realized this.

HTV is vinyl & transfer tape in one. Which means it only needs to cut the vinyl but doesn’t need to cut the transfer tape on the mat side. That means your lanterns will look cut out on one side, but not on the other. This is what you want!

Check out the mat side of the HTV, not a cut to be seen. And that’s what you want with HTV.

Now it’s time to individually, with scissors, cut each lantern out. Be careful when doing it – you definitely don’t want to cut through a lantern! And don’t cut the lanterns out exactly, leave space all around the lantern so you can get a grip on the transfer tape and pull off after ironing them on.

Before ironing on your first lantern, you’ll need to heat the area where your first lantern will go. Don’t skip this step, it’s important, and helps the vinyl create a smoother finish. Press down for around 7-10 seconds.

Once the blanket is warm, place your first lantern down and place the iron on it, with pressure, for 30 seconds at 315 degrees.

Keep repeating with each lantern. Heat the blanket, then iron on the lantern. Once you’re done with the entire front part. Flip the blanket and iron every lantern once more for 30 seconds at 315 degrees with pressure.

Flip the blanket over and start peeling the transfer tape off each lantern, and you’re all done!

Now display your Ramadan lantern Cricut DIY and marvel at your craftiness. This would make a fantastic homemade Ramadan or Eid gift too.

Lay down your heat pad or towel, doubled over, on your table. Place your blanket on top.
Heat the iron to 315 degrees.
Figure out the spacing of the lanterns. We did 2 1/2 inches in between, but I would bump that up to 3 or 3 1/2 inches space.
Before ironing on your first lantern, you’ll need to heat the area where your first lantern will go. Don’t skip this step, it’s important for and helps the vinyl create a smoother finish. Press down for around 7-10 seconds.
