DIY Heat Pad

Last week I threw out my neck and even though I went to the chiropractor, my muscles were still sore, so I used my homemade heat pad to relieve the pain. This heat pad is inexpensive, easy to make and holds its heat longer than a water bottle.

 

Ingredients:

 

1 large sock

Canning funnel

Glass measuring cup

Rice

Sewing machine or needle and thread

 



 

Place funnel in sock

 

Fill sock with 4-6 cups of rice making sure you can wrap filled sock around your hand

Sew up the end of the sock with a double stitch. I used a pre-set pattern on my sewing machine.

When you want to use your heat pad place in your microwave and heat for 3-5 minutes on high (for 1000 watts).
