The Groovy Tufted Mug Rug
In the 1970s, latch hook rugs and shag carpeting reigned supreme. Fast forward to the present day, and the tufting gun has become one of TikTok’s most viral tools. For those who want the cozy, plush aesthetic of a shag rug without investing in heavy machinery, the mini “mug rug” is the perfect gateway project. Using a simple punch needle, monk’s cloth, and colorful acrylic yarn, you can create miniature, abstract, or checkerboard-patterned coasters. These tiny tufted masterpieces add a burst of nostalgic texture to your coffee table or desk, serving as both a functional coaster and a miniature piece of textile art.
