Mouse Pad Makeover

So while at a garage sale I found the most hideous mouse pad I have ever seen. But it was only 50 cents. So I bought it knowing exactly what I had in mind for it.

For a mouse pad this gigantic in size, I need about a 1/4 of a yard of fabric. Make sure you choose a fabric that will not allow the design you are trying to cover up to show through.

This is a very fast and simple project!

I gathered together all my supplies, which included:

mouse pad
fabric
spray adhesive
cutting board
straight edge
fabric cutter
fray check




I took the mouse pad outside to use the spray adhesive, paying special attention to really covering the corners. Then I quickly laid the fabric on top.

Then I lined up my metal straight edge to the edge of the mouse pad to cut off the excess fabric.



Just for extra safety, I lined the edges with fray check.



I love how well it turned out! Or maybe I just like it because it is coral!
