When winter hits us with full force, it is a great time to stay inside and be creative! Mug Rugs are trending now and they give you so many opportunities to be artistic! There are such a wide range of patterns available for sewing, embroidery or crocheting them. You can find patterns at fabric stores, Etsy, Amazon or sewing websites like Kimberbell.
You can also just create your own designs. Most Mug Rugs are about 4 x 7, just enough room for your favorite mug and a tasty treat. Or a glass of milk with a cookie! You can use them much like a coaster, to protect your furniture. But you can also use them to add a pretty touch to your desk or work space.
These were all made on my embroidery machine using the Kimberbell Holiday and Seasonal Mug Rugs, Volume 1 CD. It includes 11 different holiday designs. If you have an electronic cutting machine, like a Cricut, many patterns also include SVG files to cut out the fabric.
If you have bits of fabric left over from other sewing projects, use them for your Mug Rugs. Most designs use small pieces of fabric.
So take some time to be creative! Grab a pattern, or design your own, and make some cute gifts and one for yourself to brighten up your day!
