Here’s a little project I made for someone special to keep her hands warm on the way to work while getting a *hug* from the two loves of her life. Filled with rice, just pop them in the microwave for a minute or so and put them in your pockets. Please visit Trixie’s Blog for a tutorial . . . thank you for the inspiration, Trixie! ♥
These are so cute! I love embroidering on felt.
This is actually hot pink fleece this time! But it sews up just like felt . . . no raveling to worry about!
And I think I have enough left to make a pillow someday! 
I love this idea – they’d make great stocking stuffers. I was thinking of you today as I opened a bag of clothes from my sister in law – she had 3 accidentally shrunken and felted wool sweaters in there and I immediately thought, pillows and wrist/arm warmers – and now i can use them to make these too.
That would be PERFECT! I’ve seen some tote bags made out of sweaters, too . . . I want to try that! Have fun with your creations . . . can’t wait to see them!
Oh, and here’s the link to the sweater tote I saw: http://perchedonawhim.com/?p=81 It looks easy!
Perfect, thanks!
So cute!
Thank you! I think I could make dozens of these . . . so easy and fun to personalize!
I used to make heat pads for my mother’s bad back and neck, but never thought of making hand warmers. These are very sweet and a great idea!
Thank you! I’m ready to make lots more!!!
I am always so humbled and in awe by your creativity and talents. Delightful! ~Thea
What a sweet thing to say!!! Thank you for your kindness, Thea.
What a great idea! How long do they stay warm?
Yikes! I don’t know! I guess I should have field-tested them before sending. Sorry, Beth!
Those are adorable. My son bought me a roll you can use on back or neck filled with herbs you pop in the microwave to relieve sore muscles. I don’t have a microwave but putting it on a tray in the oven worked just as well, now I have to borrow an oven from a neighbor to warm mine.
I’ve seen those! They look so comfortable . . .and comforting. You must have a thoughtful son!
I do. I broke my back when I was 19 and it still gives me trouble, plus I hate the cold. This one has rosemary and lavender in it and smells wonderful.
They are a lovely gift for any occasion. Thanks for the inspiration.
adorable! love them!
Thank you, Jennie!
I love this idea. I am going to make some for my kids to have in their pockets for the walk to school this winter. I didn’t know rice would warm like that. Just plain uncooked rice?
It feels like we have lost a lot of these lovely traditional ideas but blogland is so great I get to reclaim them
Thanks for sharing.
Can I reblog?
Most certainly! And I hope your kids love them!

Very cute and practical– I think I might make some for the kids to hold onto at the bus stop in the morning and some for me for my morning walk with our dog. I agree with faydanamyjake: it seems like these ideas get lost over time. Thanks for sharing it!
You’re so welcome! I love that they’re cozy-feeling as well as warm . . . and that you can personalize them in ANY way. I hope we get to see yours when they’re done!
Homemade hand warmers… great gift idea!!
And so easy and fun to make . . . with so many options for fabric and a-la-mode . . . perfect!
How clever!!!
Thank you!
such a great idea….My hands are always cold.
Mine, too! I have gloves EVERYWHERE!!!
Cute, cute, cute!
Thank you! Since they live so far away, I think it was a little *hug* for me, too!
Very sweet, would make a lovely valentines gift!
I love that idea!!!
I loved these! Thanks again for thinking of me!
xoxoxo
You’re VERY welcome, Danielle! Lots of love and prayers coming your way!!!
They are lovely.
Thank you! Brad and Katy are definitely two sweeties in our family!
They are so cute! It’s so fun to see that it works with rice, I only knew the cherry stone version
And I didn’t know about cherry stones! How fun!!!
Very cute and practical too!
Thank you! They were really fun to make. I just love working with fleece!
