Has anyone made mug rug to use as coasters? I'd like to make some to use with cold drinks, the ones that sweat in the summer. What can I put in them to keep my furniture dry? I'm tired of using the ones that advertise my insurance company, the company DH used to work for, etc. etc. etc.
TIA.

Hmmm....I've been using mine as coasters when out on the deck with a glass patio table. But now that you mention it, they would probably leave a "wet stain" if I were to use them on my inside oak table. Look forward to hearing what others do.

I use old panty hose. I cut off the panty part, then cut each leg about 2 inches wide in curricular cuts all the way down to the foot. Then I crochet it in a long single line, then sew it together in a circle or square. What I like to put them in are some of the very old, absolutely lovely cut crystal cigarette ash trays. Or some extra saucers that mix or match a fancy tea pot. I've been using some of these for many years, and they wash and dry in the machines. They also bleach well when coffee or tea or soda is spilled on them.

a coaster is smaller and just for a glass to sit on...
also as a coaster you would have to leave out the batting...it would be unstable with batting in it....this is THE best pattern for a coaster...wine glass or regular glass!
