Warmth is the main idea. Use an enclosure such as a shoe box, plastic critter keeper, or a mouse cage. Have enough bedding for the mouse to be able to dig down into and rest in. Place the heating pad under the enclosure and turn it on. Try to make it so the heater only covers half the enclosure, so that if the mouse gets overheated it can move. Allow some hiding places, such as toilet paper rolls. Finally, make sure the mouse can not escape.
