How to make a #DIY #RiceHeatingPad

"I love simple yet useful sewing projects and these microwavable rice heating pads are a prime example. Terrible headaches and muscle aches in the neck area, all due to light cold have plagued me for years. Few years ago, my husband bought me an electrical heating pad and it helped a ton, but still, I’m reluctant to use it every time, just because I tend to fall asleep while using it and it’s a no-no according to the instructions. The solution was easy – a homemade rice heating pad. Now all I do it to fold it in half, pop it in the microwave for a minute or two and put it over the problem area to get a nice warmth that soothes the sore muscles and joints.

Supplies and tools

- Front fabric – 9 x 23”, 100% cotton
- Back fabric 9 x 23”, 100% cotton or soft cotton fleece
- 6 cups of uncooked rice for filling (you can also use other organic fillers such as corn, #beans or #flaxseed)
- cotton thread
- scissors (or rotary cutter and a cutting mat)
- ruler or measuring tape
- iron and ironing board
- sewing clips or pins
- sewing machine
- optional: essential oil (just a drop of your favorite) or few lavender buds will give your heating pad a pleasant aroma."
