Has anyone made rice filled hand warmers, to go in pockets, that are heated in microwave? If so, about what size are they?

Check out littlehouseliving.com she says 4x4 flannel and one comment says to put cotton in between flannel. Hope it is OK to post the site.

I think she said on her list of supplies cotton flannel or she means cotton fabric because to put in microwave everything including thread has to be cotton. She said hers are cut 4x4 so finished would be 3 1/2 in sq if using quarter inch seams. Thanks

Here in Australia we use Wheat for the bags. Yes 4x4 sounds about right.
Everything cotton.

Thanks for affirming the size. I'm not sure where to buy or if we can get wheat here....

The way I was taught was size 4x4 and we filled them with pie weights!

Dumb question maybe, but what are pie weights?
They are little balls sold at craft stores or kitchen stores! I said the same thing what are they when I was being taught how to make microwave bags! I was told to make 1 with rice and 1 with pie weights and boy do the pie weights get really warm and stay warm for a long time!

I use rice to fill heat packs all the time. It is cheap, always on hand and no issues for anyone allergic to wheat.
I have heard of other seeds and things being used to fill them, just don't use corn! You will end up with a tasty snack!
