So back a while ago someone gave Zac a heart shapped hand warmer (he is in the heart business). Anyway I thought I could recreate one easy. So here goes my first tutorial. I thought it would be perfect for Valentines Day. Wouldn't one of these be a great gift for someone you love?

How to Sew Heart Shaped Hand Warm

Supplies:


  • red Fleece (for heart front) You could also use flannel for both front and back.
  • Red Canvas (for heart back)
  • Heart Template
  • Ribbon
  • Rice (not brown rice...according to my sister it smells funny when you heat it up)




Step 1. 

Cut out 1 heart from fleece and 1 heart from canvas.



Step 2.

 Pin canvas heart to fleece heart. If you want a ribbon tag now is the time to pin it inbetween the two layers. I also like to pin the heart together at the V of the heart.




Step 3. 

Sew heart together leaving a 2-3 inch whole for pouring the rice in.




Step 4.

 Trim the tip off the bottom of the heart so you can get a good point to your heart.


Step 5. 

Cut a slit right between the V of the heart. Helps it turn better.


Step 6. 

Turn the heart right side out.

Step 8.


 Sew hole shut. Not as pretty as I like it but oh well.
Now go throw that baby into the microwave for 1-2 minutes and warm your hands, feet or whatever! Enjoy.

  5. These are great. I made some of these recently using pink fleece - the kids use them for their pockets on cold mornings!

  8. Isn't it the handwarmer you should throw in the microwave, not "that baby?"

    Someone call Child Protective Services...

  14. These are fantastic. I can't imagine at the moment having to warm my hands or feet, as it's mid-summer, but I do remember so very cold days last winter where this would have come in very handy (bad un intended).
