  Step 1

  Gather your awesome materials! *

  *When making hotties always use 100% wool felt, as any kind of synthetic wool mix will burn in the microwave when you heat them up. No one likes the smell of melty plastic!

• 

  Step 2

  Pin your chosen template onto the felt, keeping it as flat as possible.

• 

  Step 3

  Cut round your template carefully, then repeat – so you have two identical pieces.

• 

  Step 4

  If you’re adding a felt letter for decoration, cut your paper templates out carefully using a scalpel & cutting mat.

• 

  Step 5

  Cut round your letter templates, using the scalpel & cutting mat for the fiddly bits.

• 

  Step 6

  Position your letters & stop to appreciate your lovely colour combos!

• 

  Step 7

  Using your embroidery thread & needle, sew your letters on using any stitch you like.

• 

  Step 8

  So you end up with something like these…

• 

  Step 9

  Sew the front & back pieces together using a blanket stitch, leaving a small section open for filling them up.

• 

  Step 10

  Fill your handwarmer with a mix of rice or split peas and your chosen dried flowers or herbs, then sew up the gap.

• 

  Step 11

  And voila! Some hotties for your hottie…or perhaps just for you :)

• 

  Step 12

  Revel in your craft mastery, then microwave for 1 minute each and enjoy!
