Hand Sewn Microwavable Rice Bag

Hello! I’m new to instructables, so bear with me. Today I am going to show you how to stay warm with a few household items.

-Fabric

-Scissors

-Ruler

-Thread

-Needle

-Rice

-Table spoon

First get your ruler, then measure to the length you want it. Mine was 4 3/4 inches (just do it according to the size of your fabric)

This part took a little while because at first I cut a little wobbly. Cut according to your measurements. Make sure that you cut slowly because otherwise you might accidently cut in a wobbly line.

This will help later on with the seams not showing. 

This might take a while. (If you are having trouble getting the thread to go through than just put the thread in your mouth and then draw it back out)

Now it’s time to tie the knot. A good method of tying the knot so that it doesn’t slip through is twisting the thread until there’s a bunch of holes, then put the thread through them all and pull.

Now start sewing. This took me about 50 stitches.

Now you want to sew back and forth instead of tying a knot at the end. This took me 6 stitches. Your going to want to do this with each side.

Now turn it right side out so that there’s no stitches showing.

It’s time to pour the rice! I poured 7 Tbs.

For sewing the top you’re going to turn the top in so that there are no rough edges. This took me about 35 stitches.

Now put the rice bag in the microwave put it in for about 30 seconds and Enjoy!
