Banksy Welcome Mat, by irl1 on Apr 17, 2020 13:44:31 GMT 1, Dear friends,
We are entering the third week of full lockdown in the camp where we work. At this point 30 people have tested positive for Covid-19 and there are severe restrictions on any movement.
In the face of this crisis I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who has donated so far. Thanks to you we have been able to work with our amazing partners to organise a vital Covid-19 protection pack for every person in the camp.
Today I received a WhatsApp message from one of the women we work with who wanted to thank everyone who has donated. She said: โWe hope you are safe. Thank you so much for standing tall for all the refugees. We are so proud of you all and thankful to you all. We have received everything in the packsโ. Next week our hope is to supply special packs for nursing mothers and newborn babies. If you are able please donate today. We cannot do this without you.
The Covid-19 packs we have shared so far contain 2 cotton face masks, 2 hand sanitizers, 2 personal soaps, detergent for washing masks, nutritional milk for children and youth, and education materials about the virus.
We are so proud of our heroic partners in the camp, especially Carolynn at Cafรฉ Rits, IOM, Katina and the Love Welcomes women and the team at Lighthouse Relief. Everyone has worked around the clock to make this support a reality.
We know that many of you are facing financial challenges and uncertain futures, so we have been overwhelmed that the Love Welcomes community has stepped in at this time. Together we have stood tall.
If you are able to donate then you can do it here. Thank you and please stay safe, Abi, Co-Founder, Love Welcomes

Banksy Welcome Mat, by damo on Apr 19, 2020 19:45:07 GMT 1,
Spent afternoon attempting to make a coffee table for my Welcome mat. Still need to do the legs properly (its supported by a little side table at present) but reasonably pleased with it, as its only meant to be a temporary solution. Wanted something aged as i thought that would suit, and tbh was reliant on the wood i had laying around anyway. Glass is off the top of an old Ikea unit.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by T-Bro on Apr 19, 2020 22:27:05 GMT 1, Impressive
I am still mulling about what to do with mine. I would like to see the below with a similar orange colour painted on the inside of the wood as I think it would help it "pop"

Banksy Welcome Mat, by ajr on Apr 22, 2020 21:50:02 GMT 1, Looks great! I think i actually prefer it to the perspex boxes. I'm glad i waited before framing mine - now have a hard decision to make.
Do you know how the mat has been fixed to the frame/backboard? Really curious to find out. Also, what size is the frame as it looks spot on

I'm glad i waited before framing mine - now have a hard decision to make. Do you know how the mat has been fixed to the frame/backboard? Really curious to find out. Also, what size is the frame as it looks spot on Yes its fixated to a 6mm backboard by using nylon thread. Frame is 79x60cm and was chosen by having 2cm distance from the longest strap to the end of the frame (straps are not equal in length).

Banksy Welcome Mat, by damo on Apr 23, 2020 17:02:30 GMT 1, Finished my coffee table. Its old glass and offcuts from the shed but I'm quite proud of it and it'll do for now. I didn't really know what i was doing/its rough and ready, so I wont be expecting a call from Habitat any time soon.
Just need win a few Peckham Rocks postcards to use as coasters now!

Great setting You could lay some tiles to fill in the dead space at the sides to finish the look and also look like those 70s tile tables

Will do that, lay tiles or paint the base under it at some stage to help it stand out. Like the idea of a orange border to match the wording (as someone suggested) but can't get to DIY store at the moment and was getting annoyed with it just being in a box.

Yep, that's the way to do it! Looks great. Maybe a huge sheet of sandpaper to finish it off. Actually, would only need a roll of it to add to the sides.
