mouse pad tutorial

This cannot really be called a tutorial since it's too easy...
And I could swear I've seen a similar tutorial somewhere, but I can't remember where...
So here you go!

You'll need:
- a mouse pad (mine is from IKEA, old and battered)
- your choice of fabric (preferably something thin and glossy, but do experiment!)
- spray glue


1. Iron your fabric - you'll want your mouse pad to be free from creases.

2. Spray the mouse pad surface with glue - do this outside/a place with good air circulation!

3. Turn the mouse pad over onto the wrong side of the fabric, making sure that there are no creases, then press down hardly.

4. Cut the fabric closely along the edge, then wait until the glue completely dry - this is an important step, no matter how much you want to use your new mouse pad already :)

And you're done!

Actually the old mouse pad belongs to my boyfriend - he forgot to take it with him to Munich. Now I'm contemplating whether to give it to him back or to keep it for myself...what do you think? :D
