Hand Warmers

Tis the season for colder weather and the time of year to think about gifts ( if you haven't already) right??? These little hand warmers can be used by any gender and any age. The best part is it only takes about 10-20 minutes depending on how your sewing skills are and if your children let you complete it un-interrupted. Everything used is something that you should have lying around the house so there is no cost involved.

Materials:

Any scrap fabric you have lying around the house doesn't even have to match. ( 4 pieces any size)
Hand sewing needle
Thread
 Rice or dry corn
Paper plate, funnel, or paper ( for getting the rice in the warmer)

Instructions:
1. Place 2 pieces of fabric together and do a stitch (we prefer the blanket stitch) around all the sides making sure to leave a big enough hole to fill your warmer with rice.
2.  Using either a paper plate or a funnel of some kind pour your rice into the hole of your warmer.
3. Once desired amount of rice is inside, simply stitch the hole to complete your closure.  

So there you have it, a simple home-made, eco-friendly hand warmer.
