How to decorate
Mouse Pads and Coasters
with Iron-on Transfers

To make iron on transfer mouse pads and coasters you will need:

• Graphics software
• Inkjet printer
• Iron-on Transfer Paper
• Pencil
• Scissors
• Blank Mouse pad or Coaster Pad
• Iron
• Pillowcase or Cloth

Some ideas for your mouse pads or coaster pads:

Your favorite family, pet, or home photos

Scans of your or your children's artwork

Wedding, party, or vacation photos

Your business logo or product photos

Below are the instructions for creating mouse pads and coasters.

Using your favorite graphics program set up the page size to match the size of the mouse pad or coaster.

For mouse pads you will be able to fit one design per 8 1/2 x 11 sheet.

For square mouse pads square pads are 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" you will be able to fit four designs per 8 1/2 x 11 sheet.

For coasters mouse pads, coaster are 3 1/2" in diameter and you will be able to fit 6 designs per sheets.

For square mouse pads / coasters mouse pads,
coaster are 3 1/2" square and you will be able to fit 6 designs per sheets.

Insert your image, add text if desired. Extend the edges of your design 1/4 of an inch beyond the edges of the design to allow for trimming.

Flip your image. Choose Mirror, Flip, or other appropriate command. This is especially important if your design contains text.

Print a test image on plain paper.

If satisfied with your design and how it prints, load a sheet of transfer paper in the printer.

Choose the Best Quality or High Resolution DPI setting in your printer setup
Choose paper type to Iron-on Transfer Paper or Coated Paper.
Make sure the printer is still set to print a mirror image.
Print your design.

Let your transfer paper completely dry.

Using a pencil lightly trace the mouse pad or coaster to the back of the transfer paper then trim the excess paper away from the design with your scissors.

Preheat your iron on a high cotton no steam setting. Let it get very hot. If the iron isn't hot enough your transfer may fail.

Place the pillowcase or cloth on a hard flat surface. Don't use a padded ironing board. A tile or wood floor or tabletop work great. Place the blank mouse pad fabric side UP on your ironing surface.

Place the printed iron on transfer transfer face down on the fabric side of the mouse pad and align it carefully.

Iron the transfer in a circular motion. Apply constant steady pressure for one minute. Be sure to press down firmly when ironing pay special attention to the edges of the design.

Let the transfer and mouse pad, coaster cool completely. Don't handle it while it is still warm.

After the mouse pad, coaster and transfer have cooled grasp a corner of the transfer paper and peel away from the mouse pad
