Give one to your hottie or make some for yourself and keep cosy on the go!
Give one to your hottie or make some for yourself and keep cosy on the go!
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!
Pin your chosen template onto the felt, keeping it as flat as possible.
Cut round your template carefully, then repeat – so you have two identical pieces.
If you’re adding a felt letter for decoration, cut your paper templates out carefully using a scalpel & cutting mat.
Cut round your letter templates, using the scalpel & cutting mat for the fiddly bits.
Position your letters & stop to appreciate your lovely colour combos!
Using your embroidery thread & needle, sew your letters on using any stitch you like.
So you end up with something like these…
Sew the front & back pieces together using a blanket stitch, leaving a small section open for filling them up.
Fill your handwarmer with a mix of rice or split peas and your chosen dried flowers or herbs, then sew up the gap.
And voila! Some hotties for your hottie…or perhaps just for you :)
Revel in your craft mastery, then microwave for 1 minute each and enjoy!
