Super Easy Rice Heat Pack

I used to have two microwavable rice packs {great for cramps!} but then we didn’t have a microwave for a while so I tossed ‘em. But now we do have a microwave, and I happened to have some pretty blue flannel damask. So I whipped this up. It’s a really, really easy project as in, so-easy-it’s-probably-an-insult-to-your-intelligence-that-I’m-giving-you-instructions. Nevertheless, here they are!
You need:

• a small amount of flannel
• rice
• the usual {thread, sewing machine}

Step 1: Cut two rectangles of flannel {I find that 9 inches by 6 inches is a good size}.
Step 2: Sew the rectangles together with the right sides of the fabric facing each other. Don’t sew all the way around. Leave a small opening. Snip the corners then turn the pouch you’ve created right-side out.

Step 3: Use a funnel to fill with dry rice {I used 2 cups}.
Step 4: Sew all around the edges, starting at the opening {fold the opening edges in first}. You can use a contrasting thread color {I used white} or a matching color. This is probably the hardest step simply because you’ve got to move the rice out of the way as you go.

Voila. Just nuke that sucker for 1-3 minutes on high and you’re all set to go!
