In this tutorial I will teach you how to create an original Mouse Pad shaped owl. You'll see what it really is easy, because I also leave you the templates in this post ready to trace. Throw away your old mat and put on your owl.
Materials
- Rubber eva
- Silicone
- Scissors
- Templates
In rural areas of India, families in charge of a blind minor frequently isolate and deprive him/her of the care and attention they provide to their other children; such situation becomes even more severe among lower-caste families, orphans and if the blind child is a girl. templates you have the body and the beak. The rest of the parts are simply circles. You can make them with a compass or with glasses. Even for the pupils you can use a die cutter circular, as they are much smaller in size.
Step by step
Print the templates or trace them from your computer screen. Do it in one or more normal papers and to the size that you want. The body of the owl that you can see in this tutorial is the size of an A4 sheet of paper.
Trace the templates on the eva rubber. To do this, instead of using a pencil use an awl, in this way you will not have the painted eva rubber.
Use it in the colors you like the most, even the printed eva rubber looks great. As you can see, I have chosen a flower rose for the owl's belly, and that gives a lot of life to the design.
As I have commented in the materials section, you can make circles with a compass, with a glass or with any circular object that serves as a pattern. Be consistent with the sizes. The largest is the belly, you must make two smaller ones for the whites of the eyes, and another two even smaller circles in black for the pupils.
When you have all the parts cut out you can glue them with the silicone. This can be hot in a gun or cold silicone. If you prefer to use another adhesive, I recommend the instant one, which also sticks quite well on the eva rubber.
Add more details. At this point, the die cutters will be very useful and will make your work much easier. I have cut out three hearts, but you have many options such as flowers or stars. If you don't have die cutters you can always do them with small scissors.
And this would be the result. Imagine all the color combinations you can create to make your owl-shaped mouse pad.
