This mouse pad mockup is a quick way to show a pattern without a photo shoot.
It’s a handy file for merch brands and Etsy sellers. One thing worth knowing: keep your artwork simple. Small objects shrink details quickly, so a bold mark reads better than fine lines.
Merch and gift ideas are much easier to approve when people can see them on the real object.

What you can edit in this Mouse Pad Mockup
The PSD is layered, so you can change:

Questions about this mockup
Can I use this accessory mockup for client work?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to PSD Graphics. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
How do I add my design?
Open the file in Photoshop, double-click the smart object thumbnail, paste or place your artwork in the new tab, save it (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close. The main file updates on its own.
Which Photoshop version do I need?
A recent Photoshop CC version is best. Older versions can open the file but sometimes have trouble with smart objects and effects.
Can I change the background?
Most object mockups have a background colour or image layer at the bottom of the stack that you can swap.
