I make my mug rugs about 6 x 10. I use warm and natural batting. I just participated in an exchange to raise money for ovarian cancer. You exchange mug rugs with someone else. It is fun to get one back. A fabric company donates teal fabric and each person is sent a piece they need to use somewhere in the mug rug. If anyone is interested for next year, I will post the information here.

Wouldn't the Essential Oils leave spots wherever they're set down for any length of time? Just asking! You'd have to use more each time you used the mug rug and I'd be afraid of build up ruining the furniture they're trying to protect.

I remember buying mug rugs at a craft show that had something inside like cloves maybe. Smelled good but not very practical as the mug doesn't sit level !
I wouldn't use essential oils either as they can stain surfaces.

Thanks for all the input. Never thought of the oil staining... I think I'm going to go with no scent at all. Time to get to work. Mom's 80th birthday is coming up and we are having a 'Vintage Tea Party' themed party for her.

I'm thinking of making some mug rugs too, for stocking stuffers this year. Thanks for the ideas. I'm with you bernamom, I'd go scentless. I love your idea of a vintage tea party! Please post pics!
