So again with the
Pinterest craft ideas, I found an awesome heating pad that doubles as a cold compress that made for an easy sew and a great Christmas present. And now that everyone has received there presents I am able to post this.
I found a tutorial
here that was very helpful! All you need is some fabric, lentil beans, lavender (which I found at Earth Fare), a sewing machine, and a few hours to work (or less if your really good!)
 |
| Lavender and Lentil Beans |
 |
| (2) 6 x 18in pieces - I may make it a little wider next time... |
 |
| Bag sewn shut with only the end opened |
 |
| After putting 2lbs of beans and 2 tbsp of Lavender, Close the bag |
 |
| I had some issues with the pouches and breaking the needle on the beans, so be careful! The tutorial above has the best method of sewing the pouches. |
 |
| Now you have a great compress, Heat for 3 minutes in the Microwave or Put in the freezer and enjoy! |
