Hey, y’all! Welcome to part 2 of my 3 part Back to College series on my blog. Last week, I showed you guys how to create a simple DIY Rustic Photo Display. So, this week we’re taking our decorations from the wall to the desk. 😀 This DIY Giant Mouse Pad can bring a lot of color to a plain looking desk!
DIY Giant Mouse Pad
MATERIALS
- hot glue gun
- 1 yard o fabric
- scissors
- a 12 x 4 piece of wood
- a marker
STEP ONE:
Lay your piece of wood flat on the inverted side of the fabric.
STEP TWO:
Using a permanent marker, outline the piece of wood. Don’t worry, your measurements don’t have to be perfect. As you can probably tell, I kinda just eyeballed mine.
STEP THREE:
Cut along the line you drew and hot glue the sides to the piece of wood. I cut the edges of fabric diagonally, so that it would lay flat.
Finished Product
I didn’t take any super good, aesthetically pleasing photos of this DIY, but here are pictures of the first time I created this DIY. More of these photos can be found in My College Dorm Room.
