A waterproof vinyl-like material, neoprene is in a variety of household items such as mouse pads and table place mats. Decorate your neoprene items at home by using iron-on transfers to create permanent designs on their surfaces.
Step 1
Select a design of your liking from your private image folders or by obtaining it from an online source such as Deviant Art.

Step 2
Place one sheet of iron-on transfer paper into the printer carriage. Make sure the filmy side of the paper is facing downward.
Step 3
Print out the image.
Step 4
Plug in the iron and turn it to its highest setting. Let it heat up for about 10 minutes.
Step 5
Cut around the design you have printed out and discard the excess paper.
Step 6
Place the printed side of the iron-on transfer paper onto the center of the neoprene mouse pad's surface.
Step 7
Place the iron flat onto the back of the paper, and press down firmly. Move the iron around in circular motions, very slowly. Do this for about a minute and then let the neoprene mouse pad cool for three minutes.
Step 8
Remove the paper from the surface of the mouse pad by carefully plucking up one corner of the paper, and peeling it back gently and slowly.
