These Homemade Hand Warmers are the perfect size for chilly hands to snuggle with. Just pop them in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute then slip them in your coat pockets on your way outside to play in the snow. (They also work as mini-ice packs for kids when you put them in the freezer)
Supplies:
1/2 cup to 1 cup long grain rice (not minute rice!!) PER set of 2
1/4 yard of flannel (makes 10 sets)
(sewing machine)
Directions:
1. Fold fabric in half with wrong side facing out. Cut fabric into 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch squares. You will end up with 40 squares. Sew pairs together wrong-side facing out on three of the 4 sides, leaving one side open.
2. Turn them right-side out and fill each warmer with 1/4 to 1/2 cup of rice.
3. Fold over a 1/4 inch seam and sew together, keeping as close to the edge as you can.
4. Trim thread and you are done! :)
What a grea idea...I think I will make those for my kids, what a great stocking stuffer
