The Directions:
- If desired, first make a template for the hand warmers on cardstock paper. {think circle, heart etc} I decided to free-style mine and make my hand warmers a 4 inches wide/tall square. You can make these any size or shape you like, but remember these will need to fit into coat pockets.
- Using your pinking shears, carefully cut out your shapes from the fleece. Two fleece pieces for each hand warmer.
- Then using a needle & thread, stitch the two pieces of fleece together, but make sure to leave an opening so you can pour in your rice.
- Using the open slot, fill your hand warmer with about 3/4 of uncooked rice.
- Then to finish it off, stitch it completely closed. Then download, print and add the “Warm Winter Wishes” gift tag to your new creations.

When adding the “Warm Winter Wishes” gift tag printable to your handmade fleece hand warmers – you can also write a personalized message on the back and let the receiver know that all they need to do, is warm it up for 1 minute in the microwave and then tuck into their pockets to enjoy. These hand warmers are also great to keep in the freezer for when a “boo boo” comes along. {speaking from experience right there!}
