What about a tiny lazy susan, with velcro glued to it and velcro sewed to the mug holder? Some crafty lady could make them. Just use a router to make a deep circle in it, then fill it with steel marbles and put a bottom on it with small lifters less high than the marbles. Paint first.

Found a link to the pattern number: http://www.simplicity.com/p-4469-craft.aspx Hancock Fabrics or Hobby Lobby usually run patterns on sale for a couple of dollars. |
Thank you so much, I just found one on ebay that was a good price and willing to ship to me.

That sure is a pretty and very practical gift, and I'd like to make one for me. I also have far too many coffee mugs, some of which are man sized. I vowed never to make anything but quilts as my attempts at all else were met with failure. However, this is so cute and looks easy enough... I am going to attempt. thanks for the idea and those who provided links |
What a great idea! :D :thumbup:

Made these, filled them with chocolates, and used them as favors for a recent family celebration. A big hit! They can be used as a sewing caddy or a desk caddy filled with pencils, pens, etc.

I know I saw a free pattern for this online but now I can't locate it. If I figure out where it was, I will share the link ;)

That would be a great way to organize my cupfull of stuff! I have one at my sewing machine and another at my cutting table. It gets kind of crowded. Great gift idea!

that sounds like a lot of fabric for this
