You can buy plain round mouse pads at IKEA for only € 0,50 a piece though I just used free promotional mouse pads I got 2 years ago.

Great as a gift and to use up your scrap fabric!

You Will Need (6 things)

  • scraps of Fabric
  • Spray Adhesive
  • small piece of Card Stock
  • Ruler
  • Fabric Scissors
  • Mouse Pad

Steps (4 steps, 7 minutes)

  1. 1

    Gather all materials.

  2. 2

    For this step you need a lot of room because you need to be able to work quick.

    Prepare your working space. Lay newspaper over your working space and have all things needed at hand.

    *note: work fast! Spray adhesive dries very quick.

    Apply your spray adhesive to the pad and if necessary smooth it out with a piece of card stock. Put the newspaper with bits of glue aside (I just folded it and threw it on the floor)

  3. 3

    Immediately lay your fabric flat with wrong side facing and press the pad onto it.

    Turn it upside down and smooth the fabric out with a ruler to prevent air pockets.

  4. 4

    Let dry for 5 minutes trim excess fabric and you're done!
