Hot/Cold Compress

Relieve aches and pains with this hot/cold compress, a sewing tutorial from Samantha Palacio for hot rice bags that can also be chilled in the fridge. These make great gifts, especially during the winter.

Hot/Cold Compress

Materials:

Small amount of fabric
Rice
Sewing supplies

Instructions:

I cut out my fabric and sewed it into a mini pillowcase (it's about 8 inches long).
I filled it with rice and stopped about 1.5 inches from the top for easy sewing.
I pinned it together to sew to insure that the rice stayed in place.
I also sewed the opening closed TWICE for extra hold.
