I love the romance of a mug rug and. Place your coffee cup on a mug rug and there is enough room for a cookie or muffin when having your morning devotions, or an afternoon break. Grab the Caramel Snickers Coffee Happyccino recipe before you scroll any farther as you will want to try this delicious concoction that is so good hot or cold.

You can leave the mug rugs plain or add a button.
Adding a little bit of ribbon tied into a knot, to the side of the mug rug is pretty too!
