supra door mat

[Beccahacom]

I decided that I wanted to help keep my boyfriends house neater, it was kind of a resolution for the two of us. So he asked for a door mat to keep dirt out.  Well, he didn't just want any doormat he wanted it with the hood emblem of his favorite car sitting in his garage.
A Toyota Celica Supra 1985
 


and here is the emblem


and then here is the doormat. Sadly i never thought about taking a pic of it in progress...  I designed the pattern myself i drew it out on graphing paper and then  I colored it and tapestry crocheted it.



and after it was finished crocheted, i washed it and sewed shelf liner on it so it wouldn't slide.
The dog loves the door mat sooo much that he lays on it rather than on his bed

That's so cool that I'd be afraid to step on it! Great job.

Thank you, we actually use it, in the process we were contemplating to hang it up.. but it is in use..

I love it! I need to make one for my 88' Celica.

What a cool idea! My husband would love a Mustang one.

I'm impressed at the design! Funny that the dog likes it so much. I guess he needs one, too, now!

I thought I was the only person in the world whose boyfriend loved Supras.  Personally, I think they are weird-looking with awkward, displeasing angles, but according to gearheads like these boys - they are fast and amazing.  So... what I am trying to say is... awesome!  Your boyfriend had better appreciate you - and the mat

What yarn did you use to crochet?
Maybe DH would like a volvo one!
