Mouse Pads
I was recently gifted a new computer, this is major and leaves me totally without words to even begin to express my gratitude except to say my sister is amazingly beautiful. The computer has a mouse, which my old laptop didn’t have, so I found an old ugly mouse pad here in our house. I couldn’t bear the sight of the ugly pad given the beauty of the machine in front of it so I bought some Heat n’ Bond Ultra Hold Iron-On Adhesive and quickly remedied the situation.

I covered it with a Suzuko Koseki Japanese fabric I bought on Etsy a bit back. To use this iron-on adhesive you just have to iron it on to the back of the fabric, remove the paper backing and then iron it on to the mouse pad. Seriously simple no-sew project.


I used the standard foam type mouse pad and it worked like a charm.
