Default Mousepad Question?

Hi everyone,

Gotta question on mousepads. I ordered a few white blank mousepads and thought I would try my hand at those. Most of my designs are darker and I would like to cover the entire pad, but not have the edges look bad because some of the transfer is past the edge a smidget. Is there any good way to trim this away to make it look better or do I need to make a smaller design and show a little white. I hate to do that just because alot of my designs have very little white and would look off. I'm really picky about having a good looking product so any little tricks would help.

Oh, one other thing. I am wanting to do some miniature flags. Size: 12 or 15" by 16 or 20". Reason: In Sept I attend a large convention where Firefighters from all over the state come to camp for 4 to 5 days. I would love to do personalized flags for them to display by their campers. I have the design template ready, just wondering if anyone new where to get a few of these flags or if they even exist. From what I have seen in the last 11yrs of attending this, they would eat these up. They love to spend money that week.

Thanks, Todd

Just make your inkjet transfer slightly bigger than your mousepad. Let it hang over the edge all around, and it will look great. No white will be seen.

Cut the picture just a little larger but press with a little less pressure so that you don't print over the edge or compress the pad too much.
