Make Your Own Heating Pad!!!

I have seen these Rice Heating Pads many times and have always wondered how well they work and what they are like. Here is a super easy DIY!!

These Homemade Heating Pads would make awesome Christmas Gifts too!!

What You Need:

Fabric

Rice (uncooked)

 Essential Oil(s)

Scissors & Sewing Supplies

Spoon & Bowl

 DIRECTIONS:

Step 1: Cut to fabric into 2 squares of the same size

Step 2: Stack your fabric squares print side in

Step 3: Sew around the edge's, leaving a small opening {I would leave about 2"}

You can defiantly do this by hand, you don't need to have a sewing machine.

Step 4: Now turn your fabric outside in

 Mine is defiantly not prefect, but it will do :)

Step 5: I added some Vanilla Essential Oil to mine....you could use any scent you like!

Add a couple drops to your uncooked rice and mix it around.

{The amount of rice will depend on the size of your heating pad and the amount of drops of oils will depend on personal preference}

 Step 6: Start filling your bag with the scented rice

I left about 2"-3" of space at the top. I didn't fill it the whole way. You can fill as full as you prefer!

Step 7: Close your bag up :)

DONE!

They are super simple to throw together!

Pop it in the microwave and heat it up for 25-35 seconds {Time will depend on how large or small your bag is} increments until you get it to the temp you prefer.

Remember to use caution....IT WILL BE HOT!!
