Neck Heating Bag

I carry my tension in my neck and shoulders
and end up spending alot of time on a heating pad.

I decided to make a more portable rice bag neck heater so that I could go from the couch to bed and not have to unplug anything. Plus with this there are no fears of fire hazards...Yay! Just pop it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes and enjoy.

I cut a strip of fabric selvage to selvage 6 inches wide, folded it right side to right side and sewed the long edges together. Then I turned it right side out and sewed two lines about half way across to prevent the rice from traveling.

I call these "rice damns."

See the rice damn? So helpful.

I loosely filled the bag with rice and flax seeds which I had scented with lavender essential oil for added relaxation.

Then I tucked in the fabric on the open end and double stitched it closed.

The finished dimensions are about 20"x5" and it is the perfect size for my neck.

When mine was finished I let the husband try it out and he wouldn't give it back, so I was forced to make him one of his own!

Note: His is a few inches longer than mine so as to fit his manly neck better;)
