DIY Painted Cork Mouse Pad

DIY Painted Cork Mouse Pad from Sarah Hearts

I spent sometime last week reorganizing my office. Every now and then I’m just in the mood to completely re-organize my office or home. Does that every happen to you? After I spent the entire day sort through paperwork and craft supplies I decided to craft up a new mouse pad for my clutter-free desk. You can make your own painted cork mouse pad in just a few minutes and for a couple dollars. I think I’m going to make a few more with the cork sheets I have on hand and keep them as gifts (maybe paint a monogram on them too)!

1. Place a medium size plate (mine was about 8.5″ across) on a sheet of cork and trace the plate using a pencil. Then use a box cutter to cut out the round shape. Make sure you do this on a cutting mat or a thick board otherwise you will scratch up your desk or table top. 2. Then use craft paint to paint a design on the cork. Here’s a template for the heart shape I painted. I used a metallic gold paint on the edges. So simple, right?

      Thanks Annie! That’s such a great idea to use the Ikea hot mats. I have a bunch of those too! I cut the circle out of a square piece of cork.

I just got a ton of wholesale orders (yay!) but unfortunately that means that orders placed today through the next two weeks will ship in clear bags until my printer helps me restock! So sorry if this is your favorite, I’ll be sure to include extra goodies in there! #sarahheartslabels
