I want to make some of these for warming hands, feet, tummies and backs :) Just curious--if I put a little lavender (dried from my garden), would it be safe to heat in the microwave with the rice? Has anyone tried that? Also, is a little lavender oil mixed with the lavender flowers ok/safe? Thanks!

I couldn't sleep last night and decided to try your rice bag. I had it together in no time with your great instructions. I am going to give it to my Dad who is 87 years young and says his feet get cold. Thanks for your great ideas!

I&#39;ve been using this tutorial for a couple of months now (first for myself, then for gifts!). I shared it on my blog (http://mdschoolmrs.blogspot.com/2011/03/rice-heating-pad-foot-warmer.html) and linked back to here! Thanks for the great tutorial! <br /><br />MJ at MD School Mrs.

Thank you for this beautiful tut. I have always put rice in a sock, and put a knot at the end. (Not very pretty) When my kiddos have a tummy ache we whip one of these together. Now they can have a tummy ache in style with one of these pretty little rice packs. Can&#39;t wait to make one. <br />Love your blog!!

I just finished making a few for Christmas presents,and they turned out really nice. I love that they have pockets so you can toss the rice bag when it gets gross without losing your cute fabric. Thank you so much for posting directions!

Our 4H group made these yesterday for sewing project day. 8 children ranging in age from 8 to 16, they cut and pinned and filled and sewed. They learned about using the sewing machine, how to measure and cut fabric, how to make neat finished edges. It was great! They loved their bags!! Thank you! I sent an email with a link to your blog so they can enjoy all the things you do here!!

Hi there! (From way down in Australia....) I make these with wheat for the &#39;stuffing&#39;. And when it comes time to heat the wheat bag, I always put a 1/2 cup of water in the microwave with it. Something I read on the net - to do with preventing the wheat catching alight if it is getting too dry and overheated. Is rice so different? Wonder how the abilities of both mediums to hold heat

Ooh, fantastic tutorial! I really need to get myself a sewing machine, I can think of so many purposes for a rice bag at my house!

Thanks for your great tutorial on ricebags. I made these for all my siblings and a couple friends for Christmas and they loved them!! I renamed it the &quot;Cozy Comfort Pad&quot; and made cute tags with instructions and verses of scripture on comfort. I dabbed the muslin bags with essential oil of lavender and peppermint for an aromatherapy affect. My outside cover is more like a pillowcase.

I just wanted to thank you for your great tutorials. I stumbled across this rice bag tutorial somehow or another last week and I decided to make one for my sister for Christmas. I&#39;m new to sewing, so anything I make I get super excited about. I was very impressed with your instructions (for I too am a visual learner) and my rice big turned out great! Thank you so much!!! I look forward to

I just sent people from my blog to yours. I love your foot warmer. I&#39;m going to make some for Christmas gifts. Such a great idea for us here in northern Minnesota. Thank you for sharing.

I have to let you know that I have looked at your website for hours now brainstorming and being oh-so-jealous of your creativity! <br />I made this kind of rice bag for my son as well. When he was a newborn he had extremely bad gas and it never helped that it was joined with colic. I made this bag to lay on his tummy for his gas and it was so great! My pediatrician recommended that I buy one,

I couldn&#39;t live without mine! I sewed segments into mine so the rice would fall evenly aroung my feet. I also stick mine in the freezer and use it to cool down my bed in the summer.

This may be a silly question, but when you heat it up is it OK to put the whole thing in the microwave or do you take to rice bag out of the puch?

V, first of all,thanking you for taking the time to do this tutorial and sharing it. It's been cold here in here in the windy city and I just commented to my hubby that we need some foot warmers. BTW, I love that fabric. Moda anything is always my first choice. I do have a question regarding the footwarmer. Do we ever have to worry about bugs or mold with these rice bag foot warmers? I know

If you spend lots of time at the computer these can be made narrower and used to support your wrists. Or you can make them for neck wraps and switch between hot and cold. Use flax seed for the cold and rice for the warm. My MIL has fibromyalgia and these come in really hand and are great when kids injure ankles or whatever. Much easier to put one of these cold on an ankle then a straight bag

We've been using rice in old socks, so I'll definitely have to try making some of these! That would be so much nicer!!!<BR/><BR/>I'll be linking to your post!
