easy-to-make rice-filled hand warmers.

happy december seventh!
here is an easy project to make at home for the holidays.
it would make a great stocking stuffer or small Christmas package for a friend.
also consider making some for yourself.
i know i will be in need of a pair!!

You will need: a piece of flannel, bag of rice (not instant), funnel, sewing machine, and basic  sewing supplies.
Cut four 4" x 4" squares.
With right sides together, stitch two squares of flannel together with a 3/8" seam allowance. Make sure to leave a 1-2" gap on one side. Repeat with other two squares.
Turn bags right side out. Using a funnel, fill each bag halfway to three quarters full of rice.
Machine stitch gap closed. Make sure your stitch is tight. 
To use, microwave on medium high for 2 minutes. Will stay toasty for around 30 minutes.
