I needed a break from the pillows I was making so I did my best to find something new to create. I don't know where the idea came from, but I randomly thought that it would be pretty cool to be able to make those handy hot/cold packs with rice. My mother and grandma always used them on cold days or when their backs were sore from a hard days work. I looked at some different ones online until I found a style that I felt would work for not only me, but my customers as well. I have come across some that were sewn only around the four corners. I didn't like that. I had an issue with the fact that, when holding one side of the pad, all of the rice would fall to the bottom. So I found a way to make mine in a way that would keep the rice even and flat no matter how it was held.
So, here's a few finished products
This one is smaller. It's more for (ladies, your menstrual cramps) or you can keep it in the freezer on those hot days to cool you right off.
I got in the groove of these things, I made probably ten of them.
Hope you enjoyed!!
