I thought silicone would work, but it doesn't stick
Is there a way to adhere a little silicone to the bottom of cups?
Instead of purchasing their assigned saucers, I decided to instead by small matching appetizer plates to use as saucers for my various cups. This solved several problems for me. Without the standard circular imprint that actual cup saucers have, I could place the cup anywhere on the plate not just the center. I have the option of placing the cup anywhere on the tiny plate. I can put it to one side so that I can fit a few cookies or the spoon on the other. It also allows me to use the same saucers for my various sized cups, mugs and small bowls because I'm not limited by the size of the imprint. And I don't have to worry about my spoon falling into the imprint and landing my cup on top of it anymore.
However the lack of imprint has the one problem it's meant to avoid- sliding. Overall it's not that big of a deal. But I thought I could just stick a thin piece of silicone placemat on the bottom of my cups so they would stay put. (silicone does well in the dishwasher so I thought I'd just stick a little silicone on the bottom of each cup to give it a little grip. BUt I couldn't get it it stick.
