Okay, so the other day I was organizing my desk and realized that the only “black” thing on it was my mouse and it just had to go. So I was actually doing to buy a white mouse pad but then I came across these: Glitter Mouse Pad, Suede & Gold Leaf Mouse Pad, White & Gold Mouse Pad. So I was like “zzzzOMGGGGGGGG” lollll Ran into my crafts closet and dug out what I had! The only thing I had to buy was the spray adhesive and suede fabric 🙂
I was actually going to go the decorative paper route but since my room is going to have polka dots (soon) I decided to make something similar to the Suede & Gold Leaf Mouse Pad ♥ Sadly I don’t have any gold leaf aside from my gold leafing pen but that didn’t work out as well for it leaked onto the fabric, so I used my paint and it worked perfectly -and so much easier! (the martha stewart paint is good for using on wood, metal, fabric, you name it! 😀 it’s awesome!)
What do you guys think? I love how it turned out and ahhh! Just so much better than having a black mouse pad on my desk lol It was such an eyesore. Any who, definitely check out the links above to get more inspiration on this 🙂
I hope you guys enjoy! xoxo

Nie, it looks good! Quick questions though, doesn’t the paint get in the way of the sensitivity of the mouse?
Charmaine Manansala says
