I am curious, do the mug rugs have a plastic, or a barrier to save table tops for condensation? or heat?

love to know for Christmas presents.

If you want barrier proof mug rugs, add the liner. Mine are not barrier lined. But then we use them at work and who cares about our desk tops

I miss working.. I miss out on the latest things out there. fun idea to perk up a desk.

I do remember when making potholders that the puffy fiber filler was a heat conductor.. would burn hands as you used the pot holder..

Just wondering if using a plastic ( with felt back ) table cloth would be a good idea. Just wondering.

thank you.

I made some that are 12" square to go on the side tables in the TV room. I cut up a inexpensive plastic place mat and put it inside. They have been washed many times in the washing machine. I press them flat with my hands and let them air dry. :)

That is a good idea. I also liked the vinyl table cloth one.

Insulite batting has a layer of 'foil' for insulation that would work as a 'vapor barrier'....when I make wineglass coaters I put in a layer of rubber sheeting. put remember anything sewn will have 'holes' from the needle that moisture could go thru. I am wondering if a spray of scotchguard on the back would be of any benefit.
