Do-it-yourself mouse pad at home: from scrap materials, what to replace it with

A mouse stand is not just an accessory, but a necessary thing that makes your work easier. And although there is a sufficient selection of different models in stores, it is quite possible to make a rug yourself. And such a stand will have a lot of advantages: it fits perfectly in size, is pleasing to the eye, and, finally, it’s just nice that you made a creative and useful thing with your own hands.

A computer mouse is an important accessory for any computer user, and making your own mouse pad can be quite a fun activity.

Linoleum rug

It can be easily made, because after the renovation there were probably pieces of unnecessary material left in the house - give it a new life. It is enough to cut a piece measuring 21x25 cm and carefully round the edges. To do this, you can use a round object: a glass or tape, circle it with a pencil and remove the excess. The homemade rug is ready, but you can decorate it if you are not satisfied with the appearance.

A piece of flooring will help you create an alternative to a rug at home.

Important! To avoid unnecessary bends, you can iron a piece of linoleum through thick fabric so that it lies as evenly as possible on the table surface. Due to the fact that it consists of several layers, there is no need to additionally glue it from below, because such a carpet will not slide much on the table. This is one of the simplest options, because it only requires cutting and decoration.

Cardboard mat

This material can be found in any home; cut out a piece from an unnecessary corrugated box and, to prevent it from sliding on the table, glue fabric to the bottom or use anti-slip furniture impregnation. For external decor, you can also use a piece of beautiful fabric or print a picture that can be covered with a transparent self-adhesive film. Or buy a self-adhesive sticker with a pattern.

To prevent the cardboard surface from looking dull, use craft paper or wrapping paper with an interesting print.

You can also use special tape, stickers, and drawings for decoration. To ensure that it lasts a long time and the decorative surface is not damaged, use transparent film. You can take leftover packaging film or gift bags, which are cut to the shape of the product and glued on top of it. A stylish and original solution will help you make a personal mouse pad and give a second life to things.

We fix it on top with self-adhesive film. As you work, smooth the film well so that there are no folds or bubbles.

From a paper clipboard

This is a ready-made part that does not need to be cut, it only needs external decoration. To do this, you first need to attach a black sheet of paper so that there are no glares, and then white on top of the black and you can decorate. The rug should be moderately smooth; if the lower part is too slippery, you can sheathe it or cover it with fabric. Please note that tablets come in both small and large sizes.

Take any paper clipboard and place it on your desktop.

If you order from the Internet or ask someone to buy, then immediately take into account the desired size. If the tablet is sliding on the table, you can glue down pieces of felt or any similar material so that the mat rests securely on the table surface. The clip can be left or removed if desired. With the first option, the decorating process will be quite simple and it will be possible to prepare several options that will change. Also, the tablet can perform its previous functions in its free time from working at the computer.

Be careful not to make the stand too smooth.

Leather rug

An ideal option for a homemade product, because the mouse will glide well on such a surface. You can make a minimalistic home rug by taking pieces of leather and gluing them together, you can sew the edges on a machine or do it by hand, but first mark it with a pencil. Leather can be used from old shoes, jackets, bags, etc.

A homemade leather stand is a very creative thing. Even the simplest model looks stylish.

Note! If the skin is thin, then it is better to glue it to a denser material. It does not have to be decorated, but if desired, you can apply a minimalist design or embroidery. Leather itself looks beautiful and stylish, so the decor does not have to occupy the entire surface. Of course, if the material is already quite old and signs of wear are visible here and there, then it is better to disguise them.

If you have the skills to work with a sewing machine, it is better to sew.

Plexiglas mat

Quite a difficult thing to make, but incredibly beautiful. You need to use LEDs, thick paper, glass, wire, superglue, wine cork, USB cable. The first step is to connect the cable to the LEDs and secure them with pliers. The plexiglass is given the shape and size of the mat. The cork will serve as legs, so you need to divide it into 4 even parts and glue the parts to the plexiglass.

Only those who have the skills to work with this material can create a mouse stand from plexiglass.

Here you need to glue the LEDs, and attach thick paper to the outside, cutting out the desired design on it. The result is the perfect gaming mat for a true gamer. With such an accessory, any game will be more enjoyable, and you will be able to feel like a hero from the future.

From ornamental foam

Such a mat requires foam, a knife, acrylic paints or gouache, tape and sealant. The desired shape is cut out of the foam and you can begin to decorate it with paints, creating an unusual geometric pattern or any other design of your choice. Scotch tape is needed so that when creating a geometric pattern, the paint does not go beyond the boundaries. Finally, the surface is treated with a sealant for protection.

We cut out the base from the foam. We tape the borders of fragments of different colors with tape. We paint the product.

How and what to make with your own hands: detailed instructions

Let's look at several ways to make a “real” mouse pad. One that will last a long time and will be practically no different from its store-bought counterparts.

From linoleum

What you will need:

A piece of old linoleum.
Scissors.
Ruler, pencil.

We cut out a rectangle from linoleum, for example, 20 by 24 cm. For convenience, the edges can be made rounded. That's all, you can use it! The sheet can be given any shape, depending on your wishes and imagination.

Leather

Everything is the same, only replace the linoleum with a piece of hard tanned leather. An old suitcase or bag is suitable as a source of material. Women's boots may be used with the consent of the owner. For a denser version, glue two pieces of leather of the same size together with “Moment”. You can additionally sew the edges on a sewing machine if you know how.

You can apply an original design to the rug using acrylic paints. After drying, acrylic is resistant to water, does not smudge or wear off. There is no need to varnish the acrylic drawing.

If the skin is thin, we use the following option. Cut a piece of the required size from an old tourist “seat”. Use “Moment” glue to glue a piece of leather to the foam. Let dry. Ready!

A more complicated option

What you will need:

A piece of linoleum 20 by 24 cm.
Scissors.
Ruler, pencil.
Glue "Moment" or PVA.
A picture or photograph printed on a printer/cut out of a magazine/drawn by hand.
Self-adhesive transparent film.

We cut out the picture to the size of a piece of linoleum. If the linoleum pattern shows through the picture, it must first be tinted with acrylic paint

Carefully glue the image. It is advisable to apply a little glue around the edges

We dry it naturally. Cover the top with a sheet of A4 self-adhesive film. Smooth it out. We cut off all excess. You can use two pieces of film for reliability.

A monochromatic or repeating pattern looks impressive. A computer mouse will have better contact with a dark-colored mat. If you do everything carefully, you get something like:

Made from plexiglass

If you have the skills, you can cut a shape out of plexiglass, place LEDs, attach a USB connector to them, and connect it to a computer. You will get a glowing rug. The video below explains in detail how to make one.

Play mat

This mouse pad differs from a regular one primarily in size and structure. Gaming mats are much larger, some are made specifically for the keyboard. They are made of rubber, the reverse side fits tightly to the table to prevent slipping. Since gamers set low mouse sensitivity for ease of play, the radius of mouse movement increases significantly, which explains the large size of the mousepad.

Features of making a play mat

You need to decide on the size of the product and take into account that the rug should not slide on the table. For this, special coatings or fabric are used;
The mouse, on the contrary, should glide well;
To make the rug look neat, you can round the edges of the part: use a glass or jar that has a round shape and trace around the edges with a pencil. This must be done before applying the film or fabric;
To ensure that the paper or fabric lies flat on the edges without creating unnecessary folds, make cuts at the rounding points and glue the pieces of fabric or paper one at a time. Then the edges will be smooth and beautiful;
If you use paint or paper, be sure to apply a film on top so that you don’t ruin the decor with your mouse. Remember that the surface will be actively used by the mouse, so take this into account.

It must have special characteristics. First of all, slippage is eliminated. On the other hand, the mouse should move as easily as possible on the mousepad.

Template selection

To create an original rug, you will first need a template of an interesting shape. You can cut it out of ordinary thin paper. If the rug is intended as a gift to a friend, think about which shape will best reflect the individuality of the recipient and will definitely please him. There are countless options. Here are just a few of them:

Animal: cats, dogs, hamsters, snakes, crocodiles, pigs, etc. An excellent choice would be the recognizable silhouette of the animal or a characteristic detail that belongs to its appearance or is simply associated with this animal (such as the shape of a symmetrical bone).
Animal paw. Despite its menacing sound, such an accessory will look very cute and is suitable as a gift for a girl. Don't forget to add cat pads to each toe.
Animal head. You can, of course, create a homemade mouse pad in the shape of a large dog or a round pig, but not all animal silhouettes will look equally adequate. A horse, for example, will not work, as its silhouette looks too bulky. An alternative compact option would be a horse's head. You can even add a magic horn to it.
Geometric shape. Regular rugs have a rectangular format. Use your imagination and choose the most extraordinary geometric shape - a circle, triangle, hexagon or even a five-pointed star.

As stated above, a future mouse pad, made with your own hands, can receive its material embodiment already at the stage of making the template. The chosen silhouette is often drawn by hand, but to obtain the ideal shape it is advisable to use a ruler or even special patterns. You can choose an interesting picture from materials from thematic forums or printed newspapers and magazines.

How to replace a mouse pad

If you don’t want to spend money on a special accessory and don’t want to make it yourself, you can replace the mat with a thick notebook, a magazine or a piece of cork sheet. The main criterion is density and appropriate dimensions. A rug can be beautiful, but comfort comes first.

To make such a stand at home, absolutely no skills are required. A piece of cork sheet is given the desired shape.

You can also use the spine of an old notepad or book that has been irreparably damaged. Cut a piece of the spine and cover the edges with duct tape or tape to keep it looking neat. Remember that you can make a mouse pad yourself from scrap materials. It will reliably protect the table from scratches and ensure comfortable work at the computer. This handmade accessory can be used independently, or you can give it as a gift. The option for gamers made from plexiglass with backlight will be especially pleasant.

You can create a creative mouse pad at home. It will be cheaper than buying in a company store, and, at the same time, no less convenient.

Internal organization

Having an idea of the internal structure of a mouse is very useful, since a sudden failure of the mouse can cause a lot of problems. Further, the nuances of the repair will be discussed, but for now it’s worth turning to the inside of the mouse. Since the most popular type is an optical device, the description will be devoted to it.

In the standard version, a computer mouse contains a so-called optocoupler - that is, two optical sensors. Both of these elements form a tandem of emitter and receiver - the first consists of an LED, and the second is a phototransistor. These elements are located close to each other on the printed circuit board.

Postcards and applications with mice

A three-dimensional postcard that includes simple shapes in the form of hearts, ovals, and stripes. Easy job for children.

Applique with mice and Christmas tree

Various materials were used in the work. These are cardboard, colored paper, cotton pads, buttons. An interesting and creative idea for children. A template is also provided.

Mouse in a boot

Bright New Year's applique with a mouse in a boot. There are quite a lot of small details, but the review also contains a template that makes it easier to create an application. The work turns out voluminous, thanks to the peculiarities of gluing paper parts and pom-poms.

Useful tips

If the mouse pad is too dirty or has begun to fall apart, it is easier to replace it than to resuscitate it.
While the product dries, you should clean the mouse's wheel and ball. You can wash the mouse pad in a basin with warm water, but washing it in a washing machine is not recommended. If the product is too dirty, you can pre-soak it for half an hour in warm water with a small amount of shampoo. This will make it easier to clean dirt without much effort.

After soaking, the mat is washed under running warm water. After this, its surface is thoroughly soaped with a mild shampoo and the fabric is cleaned with a soft bristle brush. Then rinse thoroughly. A few additional recommendations:

The mat should dry thoroughly, especially if it is placed on a wooden table.
Do not place the mouse on a wet mat. Be sure to wait for it to dry completely.
To clean it, it’s better to take a washcloth or a piece of cloth that you don’t mind throwing away later.

Completion

The felt blank should be attached to a piece of self-adhesive foam base, cut according to a similar pattern, or to a special anti-slip material for gluing shelves. In the second case, you will need simple glue or threads with which you can sew the felt onto the base. Fasten the layers of the product as carefully as possible so that wrinkles do not appear on the surface of the fabric.

You have made an excellent mouse pad with your own hands. All that remains is to put it on the computer desk and see how smoothly the mouse glides over it.

What can you use instead of a mat?

If you don’t have a mat at home, you can take it instead:

A piece of food foil. We carefully cut out even squares from several sheets. The foil is applied in layers and connected. The result is a fairly dense surface.
Thick sheet of paper. To ensure hygiene, it is covered with a plastic bag.
Napkins or bamboo curtains.
Several layers of cling film. Wrap it around with a clean towel.
Wooden napkin. They are often used when serving hot dishes. For making maki sushi, models of the same size with narrow rods are more suitable.
Ordinary cellophane bags. You won’t be able to make smooth and beautiful rolls with such a substitute. However, after cooking, their shape can be adjusted manually.
Device for making sushi and rolls. You can find sushi makers in hardware stores. This device greatly simplifies the process of making rolls.

Progress

If you are making a mouse pad with your own hands as a gift to a friend or relative, do not forget that the product should ideally be the color that the recipient likes best.

Cut out the basic shape of the rug using the prepared paper template.

You may want to add decorative elements such as paw pads, eyes or letters. Make separate small templates for them and prepare felt in contrasting colors. Remember that any decorative additions should be subtle enough so that they do not interfere with the rug's intended use.
