Star Wars Rice Hand Warmers Tutorial

Hey Hey! What do you know, a post from me : )
I have been so busy and have several announcements I can’t wait to share with you next week. So for now, just bare with me as I get caught up! My internet has been on and off since getting out of town, making it extremely difficult for me to catch up! But today I’m going to show you how to make some DIY Hand Warmers that I shared over at Dragonfly Designs a few weeks ago. I have seen these all over pinterest.  Mostly in heart shapes or fun bright girly colors like these from {V & Co} which are ADORABLE! … but none for a little boy!

Rice Hand Warmers Tutorial

My son has to stand outside before school starts and well… we are from Texas, and this being in Wisconsin thing is quite the climate adjustment.
Although I love love love the cold, let’s face it, hands still get cold right?

So I decided that since boys are a little rough around the edges, so should the item that is warming their hands ; )

So for this super duper easy tutorial, all you will need is: 

– Some scrap fabric (any character/superhero)
– Sewing machine
– and some rice

 1. Cut your fabric into little squares (2 for each hand warmer)
2. Sew around the edges, wrong sides together, leaving a small opening to fill with rice (I chose to use a fun little zig zag stitch)
3. Take some paper and roll it into a cone. Fill it with rice giving you enough room to sew it closed.
3. Sew your opening closed

What did I say… easiest thing EVER

If you don’t want the raw edges, sew the fabric right sides together leaving a gap, then turn and fill with rice. Sew your gap closed.

So much fun right?!
My son LOVES these. He really uses them for bean bags, but we’ll see how he feels when it gets really really cold outside! : )
