    Nice! I wish i had such drawing skills. I assume it’s a ‘laser’ mouse. does it work on a reflective surface?

    I would love to do something like this! Unfortunately I use the trackpad on my laptop and my artistic ability does not include drawing. Truly adorable though! ^_^

    It looks really nice ^^!
    Just wished that the colors were more vibrant, because when you put the plastic layer on that kinda fell away :(

      Ah I think the colours just lightened because of the camera flash, in real life it looks pretty much the same ^_^ Thanks!

    gosh that reminds me that i need a mouse pad (a padded one). Do you know how to make nice padded pieces for the mousepad? You probably do T___T because youre too awesome with crafts. Are those water coloured markers that you used to design the mouse pad?

      The markers are copic markers so they are alcohol based. By padded do you mean like with a pillow to rest your wrist on?

    That’s cute and pretty handy! Definitely can’t use this for gaming though, but for all else, it’s good :D

    This is an amazing idea. I might hack up this SS Vogue catwalk special and add some of my own art to a collage, make a pretty frock mousemat!

    Wow this makes me whish my computer had a mouse ^^ It’s a really cool idea with a clever solution, as always.
    I was really surprised to find so many nice tutorials on your blog( I loved the one about the headwear holder). Being the spazzy girl I am, I just figured ”aww a girl who like pretty things just like me” when I subscribed. Instead, I found an interesting person with crafting skills and helpful tutorials. They are so detailed that maybe someone like me(who’s never made anything before) could use them. So… Yeah, I really love your tutorials and I hope you’ll make more!

    Cute mousepad! :D Does it move around when the mouse moves? That’s what had happened to me when I had tried making mine (ended up buying a new one instead). Now it’s a wall decoration :D

      Nope because it’s foam on the back on a plastic desk it stays in place pretty well just like a normal foam one :D
