Mouse Pad Giveaway

So you know how I have a sweet new computer? Well we need a sweet new mouse pad to go with it and I decided to make my own!

What You Need

-Fabric (normal cotton print does splendid)

-Mouse Pad (or cork board cut to the same size)

-"Heat-N-Bond" type fabric bonder

-Hot clothes iron

Optional:

Non-skid material

Hot Glue Gun

{I realize I also have "Super 77" in this photo. I was planning on using it- its amazing stuff- but when I went to use it the bottle had some crazy-scary flammable warnings on it and since I was using a lot of heat in this project I didn't want to risk it}

1)Peel off the original fabric or covering of mouse pad

2) Cut fabric about the same size at the mouse pad with about a 1 inch border

3)Apply Heat-N-Bond (the same size as the fabric) to the wrong side of fabric, follow directions on product. Peel off paper of Heat-N-Bond.

4)Center mouse pad to fabric and apply heat to seal Heat-N-Bond

5) Clip the corners, Fold them up one by one and iron down, do the same with the long, straight edges.

(optional)6) I also hot-glued non-skid to the back of the mouse pad to keep it still on my desk.

It was so easy- I made THREE!! And I decided that I will do my first giveaway this week! 2 lucky readers will get to choose one of my mouse pads! Just leave a comment on this post- I will draw a lucky winner on Friday!
