It s quick and simple and you can make mousepads in any shape size and colour that you want. A quick easy and cheap mouse pad. You can also make a fabric mouse pad just take thick fabric and cut it to your favorite shape. A standard mouse pad is around 8 x 10 but feel free to customize the size to your personal preference.

Finally i gave the non slip mat a bit of a trim since it was peaking out the sides a bit. It s a cork mouse pad which you can easily make if you have some paint and a foam brush. An old mouse pad or if you want to make from scratch a sheet of craft foam can work pretty well. Or maybe you just can t bring yourself to shell out for that top of the line extended mouse mat you have your eye on.

First step is to print our favorite photo or image onto the fabric using the spray adhesive method which i personally find easier than the freezer paper method. Cork is a perfect base for any mouse pad so just cut your piece and then go decorate it. When traveling have you ever realized you left your mouse pad at home. Use corrugated cardboard rather than flat cardboard because it provides a layer of cushioning.
