Homemade Rice Hot/Cold Packs

 
 
My newest creation...homemade hot and cold packs.  I would like to give credit to where I saw these cute little things, but I simply don't remember.  I saw it a while back.  We have been busy with this continuous remodel we have going on, and in the midst of it all, my son asks if we can move his room to another.  At first I was reluctant, but when I got to thinking about it, I realized that my sewing machine could go into his "old" room.  It was like sparks flew through my head!  His old room is one of the largest rooms in our house.  I always hated sewing in the other one because I felt cramped.  Well, the moving around of 3 rooms is now finished and I am happy to add that I am able to sew more now and like it!  I actually had these square scraps from a rag quilt I had done for my nephew, and they are lined with flannel to help keep the heat or cold in longer.  I simply just stitched them together right sides in and left a little hole, turned them, filled them with rice and machine stitched closed.  Dada....cute, simple, fun!!
