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!

Steps (4 steps, 7 minutes)

1
Gather all materials.

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)

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.

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