We love any excuse to spice up our desk decor. Today, we’re going to show you how we made this really cute and easy desk pad. It’s customizable and a perfect way to give any seemingly bland desk a makeover!

What You’ll Need:

  • 1 clear desk pad (our’s is from Staples!)
  • Spray Adhesive (available at any craft store)
  • Wrapping paper of your choice
  • An Exacto Knife 

Steps:

1.       Make sure that your desk pad is clean and free of any dirt, lint, etc. Having anything like that on the pad when you apply the spray adhesive could ruin your finished product! 2.       Once your desk pad is clean, spray one side with the adhesive. Ensure that all areas are covered so the wrapping paper will stick onto it properly! 3.       Once you’ve covered the entire pad, place the wrapping paper on the sticky side and smooth out any air bubbles. 4.       Use the Exacto Knife to cut the wrapping paper to the form of the desk pad. Afterwards, let your desk pad sit for while so the adhesive has ample time to dry. We laid our’s out for about 30 minutes and that seemed to do the trick!

5.       Voilà! You have your very own desk pad! Enjoy :)
