I loved this tutorial. I’m going on a girls trip and this will be a perfect gift to use in the room upon our arrival for the driver. Thank you so much.
Just found you. I’ve been needing to make a new one, the one I have was a gift over 20 years ago. Still in good condition. I’ve enjoyed mine so much I’d like to give them as gifts. Thanks again. 🙏🏽
I love this! I live on hot packs during that time of the month, but the hot water bottles give off a hot plastic smell that makes me 🤢 this will be a great alternative! No sick hot rubber smell! I actually like the smell of the rice even without the added oils
I guess it depends one the rice. My test with the only rice I had (Basmati), well it smelled rice !!! And the fabric was quite moist. So, I would recommend lavender to mask the smell of cooked rice! Very strangely to me, no one sharing this idea ever mentions the rice they use... And it does matter ! I bet brown rice is best. Or even wheat is an option
If your sewing the sides the wrong way over make sure you turn it inside out the right way before sewing the two lines for the pockets otherwise trying to turn it inside out is impossible. I just wasted material doing this mistake as a beginner sewer
I have made these before and found that if you add a small cup of water in the microwave with the pad, it adds moisture to the pad but, not enough to wet the rice and keeps the rice from burning. P.S. the water is in a separate container along side the rice pad.

This is lovely and a good idea for a gift! Greetings from South Africa
I love this so much, Chloe! Warm lavender is so comforting when you are sick or tired.

How can you heat the pad without a microwave?
Thank you for your video. Would you happen to know, how much rice you used per pocket? Thank you.
Thank you, probably about 3 cups per pocket as a rough estimate.
Thank you ☺
YOURE SO SWEET AND CREATIVE; LOVE YOUR SITE. HAPPY TO FIND YOU AND SUBSCRIBE TO YOUR CHANNEL
thank you so much!!
How do these smell after it being microwaved? Does the scent stay the same or smell different when it's warm? Thanks

@@fredericlinden wheat has a smell to it too
thats pretty cool how long will they stay warm for after about a minute in the microwave?
Under a blanket about 20-25 minutes.

I like the size of yours and will be making that size along with the long narrow ones I make. Thank for the post.
Hey! Do you know if I can use 100% linen to make heat packs?
I don't see why not! Linen is one of the most durable fabrics ever!
There is expired for the rice ? Or no ? And if the smell gone can i add essential oil on the top ?
Rice never expires
Do I have to hand wash the fabric? Will it mess the rice up?
If you need to wash this, I would spot clean it. Water will definitely mess the rice up.
Does the essential oil’s make oil spots on the bag?
I did not experience that :)
@@BoxwoodAvenue thank you.
Wow
Will the lavender burn?

P.P.S. The lavender will not burn as well.
@@shaymarie7045can you let me know how long I'm supposed to microwave for
One of my clients love to use her heated sock but the rice smell is very irritating to me
I would suggest adding some lavender or rosemary to the mix, will help immensely. A few drops of essential oils will help as well :)
