The QR would be of a URL. The QR should be big enough like 4 A4 size papers. I though of cutting out the white boxes from a printed paper and spray on it but what about white dot islands. The precision needs to be good enough for a cell phone camera to detect it on the floor from standing distance.

How about making two copies of the QR code and in each version cut out the boxed from every second row only. Then spray one stencil first and place the second stencil at the same position before you spray it (the result will depend on how exact you can position both stencil at the same spot...)

One approach to avoid the "island" problem could be to split the pattern into two stencils. In each stencil only the holes of every other row are cut out.

First colour is applied to one of the stencils. Then the stencil is exchanged and the colour is applied to the other stencil.
The weak point of this approach is that both stencil need to be placed at the same position.

Your islands can become insignificant by creating stencil like bridges to the more solidly founded segments. A bridge of a few millimeters will bleed paint underneath but also will be small enough to be ignored by the QR software from a distance appropriate to the size of the code print. If the few millimeters is excessive, hot glue applied to ordinary sewing thread in more locations (spider web?) will provide the support and almost assure bleed under.
