How To Make A Microwavable Heat Pack
Фильм және анимация
It's cold and dark and horrible and a microwavable heat pack can be quite nice and snuggly. They're also very convenient for achey muscles and, the reason I use them the most, period pains.
If you want more of an over view of how I made it, then check out my video.

OMG!!! I do ballet but thanks to covid I had a 3 month 2 1/2 month break. I went from no dancing or stretching to 5 hours in 4 days! I was so sore it hurt to walk. I've made 3 of these to put around my legs and they do wonders! 10/10 love it and thank you so much! 💖💖💖

Thanks! Glad you liked.
Very nice! Mine turned out well and made a nice gift for an older friend. I used a funnel to fill in the rice, poking it occasionally with a chop stick so it would flow better. Went really fast.
This tutorial was so helpful thank you
So easy! Thanks!
thank you so much!!
Very cool

Hi, I used cotton. I would stay away from synthetic fabric as it might melt.

Duck cloth is best. It's a heavy 100 % cotton fabric. I use it for the outside. For the interior I use a heavy muslim. If you use an inside and an outside fabric, you can remove the outside fabric and wash it. I close the outside fabric with ribbon. Use flax seed, not rice. Flax seed is more expensive than rise or beans, holds heat better.
did you use a straight stitch for the tiny openings?

How long does it stay hot for
@superflorence3000

Not as long as a hot water bottle. I'd say 20-30mins but it does cool off a lot.
Hello! Did you hand sewn the bag or used a sewing machine?

sewing machine- I hate hand sewing!
Do the rice grains get spoilt over the period of time

Flax seed is the best to use for this. See AnOregonCottage you tube channel
You know using a funnel to get the rice in the tiny openings would work better.

@@cam-yt1wy I must've missed that part, but an easy solution when you have no actual funnel is to cut a plastic bottle that has a small opening [like a soft drink bottle] in half. Using paper rolled up to be one smaller hole on one side and a bigger one up top is another option, as well as a zip lock bag, or a piping bag, or really just any bag with a flat side can be turned into a funnel.

Can I use pulsed instead of rice i have lot extra
I thought wheat 🌾 was inside heat pack 🤔 So is rice just as good as wheat at holding the heat? Thanks for the tutorial - I’m going to make one 😊

How many times can you reuse this? I have a teddy bear that goes in the microwave but only a little bit of her tummy gets hot! I wanted to fill her arms and legs with rice but I really don’t want to ruin her or worse, set her on fire!xx

I've reused mine many times.
If you fill this with pinto beans they stay hot longer, and they don't smell bad.
