Makeshift mousepads

I have a nice fancy laser mouse, and I want a different mousepad than my cloth one with a sticky back and the kitten designs. I gotta hold off till Chrismas, so I was thinking I could make a makeshift mousepad with inexpensive household objects. Any Idea/suggestions?

Heh, because I don't need a real mouse pad, and play better without one with my mouse, I use a folder. One of those paper like folders, that don't have prongs.... X_D

Paper you say? I don't think the mouse would glide very well.

Best to describe me, iAwp. That means I am the sniper for my CS:S team. Since I snipe I use a very low DPI and Sensitivity, a mouse mat usually limits how far I can turn because having to pick my mouse back up and moving it back. I just use my huge desk.

My desk is glass. How do you expect a laser to reflect back with glass?
