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.

i've not seen that. but it surely can't be a bad idea :)

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.

right.. insulated barrier would be pierced. rubber sheeting .. oil cloth.. hmm.. thinking.. thank you.

Just line mine with 2 layers of cotton batting not a problem on my wooden tables

I used insulbrite in mine.

Great ideas!
