DIY: mouse pad makeover

today marks august first.

wow. this year has flown by.

i moved to alaska on january first,

which means i have been out of utah for seven months exactly!

it is crazy to think that i am here,

 but even more crazy to think i will be here much much longer.

to kick off this month i have decided to commit to a post a day.

yes. a new fun diy project everyday.

i know that for some people a post a day is childs play,

but for me it could be hard. (this will be a busy month for me).

so here we go

 31 days in august 

(equals)

31 diy project tutorials.

to start we are featuring a tutorial to makeover

your plain jane mouse pad.

don't you love them?

design*sponge was where i found this lovely how-to,

 yet it was created by man made diy.

this is one of those projects that i wonder why i didn't think of this.

but i am glad i found it, my mouse pad at work needs some color!

another great thing about this tutorial

is that they offer printable stencils for these two designs.

so if you like what you see, you can make it!
