I made these for all of the relatives a couple of years ago for Christmas. They work great!

That went into my “gifts” bookmark tab. Thanks!

I made some last month with a couple of wool sweaters that I felted. These are easy enough for young kids to make for themselves.

If you are going to make a bunch of them for hand/foot warmers, buy feed corn at the feed store…you don’t need nearly as much to fill them and it works very well…and smells better than the rice does. BUT, if you want them for a cold pack, I think rice works better…have to admit that I made a ton of these for a craft bazaar (fail!) so I’ve tossed a bunch in the freezer and they’ve been great for my recent shoulder surgery and for my husband’s recent wrist sprain.

I agree with Susan. I used deer corn for mine & it keeps them warmer longer.

Gina January 10, 2012 at 3:19 pm: I agree, I used deer corn as well. But make sure you put the corn in the freezer for three days or so. That will keep any weevil eggs from hatching later. (I speak from experience. Ick.)
