How to make microwavable rice heating pads
Rice heating pads are easy and cost pennies to make. They're cordless and flexible for use on any part of the body. You can use a sock, a pillow case, or make your own pouch as I demonstrate below.

All you need is fabric and rice.

Sew a pillow case like pouch and fill with rice. Close it up using a slipstitch. Make another pouch as a cover and enjoy your heading pad!
