Trim the sock, as shown in the main picture above, until it has a uniform rectangular shape.  Sew one of the ends of your HotSock closed.  At this point your HotSock should be about 7" long.

Filling the HotSock

Insert the funnel into the pocket you just sewed up, and fill the pocket 4/5ths full with white rice.  Carefully, without spilling the rice, sew up the other end of the HotSock and trim appropriately.

Arrange felt features to your liking and then either glue or sew them on by hand.  Heat your Personalized HotSock for a minute in the microwave. Thank you for reading my Instructable.  Enjoy!
