After my son broke the third cortical mousepad, I thought about how to replace it. I went through a bunch of options and opted for scraps from linoleum. Why not? The material is dense and smooth, easy to cut and not deformed. I found the remains of flooring on the balcony and started to create. To work, you need a minimum of materials and the same amount of cost. She took a piece of linoleum, scissors and stencils of drawings.

At first, the mat was a regular square shape. Size 26x26 cm.

Then I decorated the edges, cut four figures in the corners.

And then I couldn’t stop ... I made such beauty on the stencils! For example, the image of a strawberry was transferred to a piece of linoleum and cut it out. The result is a mouse pad in the form of a large berry.

My baby just squeals with pleasure when he sees a new rug in the morning. This fun and unnecessary flooring does not dust on the balcony. Another plus of these rugs. They can serve as stencils for drawing. It is necessary to circle any of them on a sheet of clean paper and paint it with paints or pencils.

    Great, good idea. We have just trimmed linoleum after repair and the mat is useful.

    Immediately drew attention to your rug. The edges come off, different spots on it do not rub off. To put linoleum in motion even thought did not come. A very useful idea for me.

    The idea is very good. Like you. But it is difficult to get linoleum without a corrugated surface.
