Christmas Star Mug Rug

Holiday mug rugs make excellent gifts and only take about 20 minutes to create, start to finish. Instead of fluffy quilt batting, use plush HeatnBond Fusible Fleece between fabric layers. The fleece won’t shrink, lays very flat so cups and dishes sit firmly, fuses beautifully to fabric so quilting is not required, and it holds its shape well through washing. For a cute, quick gift for a friend, neighbor or teacher, pair the mug rug with a fun holiday mug and hot cocoa packet, or package with a plate of cookies.
