I’ve made these hot/cold rice packs at least a dozen times. And I still get requests for them! Instructions are all over online and they’re super simple. I keep at least 8 of them (for real) in my freezer at all times, and they get used multiple times a week.
Here are some I’ve made over the years:
And the ones I made this year.
They don’t really need a pattern, but here’s a quick review. I use two pieces of 6"x9" fabric. With a 1/2" seam allowance, sew right sides together leaving an opening in the middle of one short side. Then turn right side out, do a top stitch down the fully sewn side, fill with rice (I use 1 pound per bag), and do a top stitch down the open side. Finished size is about 5"x8".
I usually include an instruction card and tie them with ribbon. Here’s the front and back card text:
I print them two-sided with 8 to a sheet.
Thanks for stopping by!
