A Mug Rug is an item you use to place a cup of coffee/tea or soda on, along with a small snack plate/napkin beside it. It’s approximately 9” X 8” or larger so both items will fit. Please do not make it smaller than 9” X 8” as that is small as it is.

You need to PM me when you mail (provide a tracking number if there is one) and receive so I can keep my records straight.
