Super Duper Easy Desk Pad

Ok going back to my new beautiful desk...I wanted to get a desk pad to put on top, but of course all thats out there are boring brown leathery Thurston Howell ones. So I found a tutorial on Prudent Baby to make one out of board, glue and fabric. But I took it a step lazier. So here is my Super Duper, made while I was cooking dinner desk pad.

You'll need 1 yard of 2 fabrics you want to use and 2 pieces of sticky board backing used for needlepoint projects.


Iron your fabric then lay it out and cut it so you have 1 1/2 inches all around


Cut off the corners... Not while boiling lasagna noodles or you'll get crooked results


Peel off cover so back is sticky. Fold up edges


Cut 3in strips of other fabric and Iron the S$^&# out of it 

Place under board 


Fold up


Peel the cover off second board and place sticky side down on the back


Place on your desk and grin at it for hours
