Hanging a Mug Rug

I decided to try a mug rug (some people call them mug mats). But in the end, what I decided to do was find a mug rug pattern but to hang as a little wall hanging.

How to Hang a Mug Rug

I thought I would share it here as it could also be helpful to you if you have been the recipient of a mug rug and you’d rather hang it on your wall.

Hidden Hanging Loops & Buttons

I took two leftover pieces of binding strip – 2.5″ wide.

STEP 1

STEP 2

I folded them right sides together and sewed lengthways.

STEP 3

I then used a safety pin and chopstick to turn my fabric tubes right side out.

STEP 4

I cut the strips into 2 4″ pieces per mug rug. So I had made two mug rugs, so I cut 4 strips of 4″ long.

STEP 5

I then folded each strip in half to create a loop and used my sewing machine’s button foot to create a button hole about half way down each loop.
