This is the best turtorial I have seen yet for the rice packs. Because you show every step it's very clear. You are also hilarious, I love how raw you are (not trying to be all overly professional) just being you.
LisaGGuinness thanks:)
Loved your video! My Mother made all of her children and grandchildren these years ago. She has since passed away and I am hearing from family members that they are in need of new rice packs. Being the oldest female in the family I am going to step into my beautiful Mothers shoes and make these for Christmas gifts. My heart was warmed watching your video and feeling the love that goes into a handmade gift. Thank you for your cheerful video. I truly enjoyed it :)
O wow. Your mom will be smiling I'm sure.
You’re so cute, Lindsay. I’m glad to see you reverse stitching, I don’t see other crafters doing that, it’s really important if you don’t want your project to come apart.
Using tea for the scent! Brilliant! Thank you!
I use fleece as well so sure.. When I make mine I add three pouches so it holds more even but then I make mine for the humane society for all the little fur babies waking up from surgery
♥ love that you do them for the fur babies post surgery! angel
Hello Carol: can you tell me the width and length of these. I volunteer with LAWS and am wanting to me some for our nursing mothers. Their little titties hurt so much afterwards. The heat helps. It also gives mom a break with the kittens laying on the warm pouches instead of always with her.
OMG this is an amazing idea I never thought of that .. I've been wanting to give back to our humane society/shelter.. love the idea hun

I make these and also make them to keep cold air from coming in the window in the winter.
You are so joyful to watch. I am sitting here with a heating bag on my neck that I was given. Now I know how to make my own. Thank you
Wonderful!
Thanks for the video tutorial! My neck always gets sore after work from sitting at the computer desk all day. These would be perfect to melt the pain. I'd probably make mine with 4 channels instead of 2, and with handles on each end. A cover with 2 handles isn't a bad idea either. Thanks again!
I learned to sew on my grammas old Kenmore. LOVED it! Would buy it again if I could find it.
Great. Would like to see how to make a removeable cover to wash. I appreciate this is not a video of someone with a giant room, large table, fancy set up but someone like me who is working in a bit crowded, cluttered -- more like the reality of most of us. Truly frugal!
Just make a simple pillowcase for it from cotton
Very good instructor..thank you..and I always keep my iron to the right of my machine ..especially when sewing quilting squares
wonderful project once again ! thanks for sharing this ....I purchased one of these at bed bath & beyond about 5 years ago and it sure wasn't cheap ! even with the coupon I think it was about $20.00 ...now with your help I can make as many as I want !!! thanks so much . XOXO Alma
I can't sew, but I *think* I can do this!!! Thanks for the easy tutorial. Love your humor!
You are absolutely adorable and entertaining! Thank you so much for your fun, short easy to follow tutorial. I think I will try making these.
LOVE the idea of the channel down the middle instead of the pockets! I'm making heating pads for Christmas gifts for my building neighbors, and this is a great idea option!!!
Great idea Lindsay, This year my family wants to celebrate an "Ingle's" Christmas… meaning that we had to either buy an item at the goodwill store or make an handmade item. This will be perfect since I have tons of fabric and brown rice that my family does not like. I purchased a huge bag of brown rice at Costco and this will be a perfect way to use that bag up…thanks for the inspiration!
wow, what a great idea! And a great way to keep out of debt this holiday:)
Best, clearest instructions I've ever seen for making this bag! Thank you so much for this :)
I love to use these for warming the foot of the bed. I live in Maine and sometimes I just can't get my feet warm. Much easier to use than the old soap stone from the fahm house! LOL. Thanks for the video!!
That was my first sewing machine. Thanks for the tutorial.
You are so welcome!
Wow, I have never seen a rice bag done this way. I making one for my daughter’s birthday, right now. Thanks for a great tutorial. Very well done.pp
AWESOME idea to make these for the Humane society, animal shelters, foster homes & veterinary office/clinics/hospitals. I am going to start doing that!! Love the idea.
Thank you so much. I love the funnel vertically. And your personality is perfect. Finally. Someone I can relate to 😁💞
This Joy again I love your personality, sweetness, bubbly, and informative. Please continue to show videos thank you. ❤
Thank you! Will do!
love❤ that sewing machine! i have the model that drops down into table...40+yrs old and the beast is still perfect:)...rice bags are great and have totally saved me on last min gifts. tfs:)
Lindsey, you really need your own Tv Spot! You are so great! So funny to. Keep it real, friend... Love ya... Thank you for your DIY
Great video. Great tip!!. I have made these~ years ago and did put lavendar, rose, rosmary, etc. in them. Sewing them down the middle is a idea. I do have every thing on hand... Iron- check, materia- check, rice - chex, aahh WAIT!!!... except...the sewing maching... darn, it too was damaged in the fire. I really should get another (cheap) one for project like this, cards, & mini albums. Ho hum... maybe next year...that's only a couple of weeks away... or maybe for Christmas....hehe
tfs
seasons greetings

hi
So quick and easy! How could anyone give it a thumbs down? Thanks for posting!!!
The two-channel method is an awesome idea - makes things so simple! Thanks for sharing!
I'm pregnant and dealing with terrible migrains. My OB suggested a heat bag for my neck and upper back. So obviously I have to sew one lol I definitely am going to add dried lavender to it as well! Thanks for the easy to follow and entertaining video!!
Good luck with your pregnancy!
@@thefrugalcrafter thank you!
Thank you so much for this awesome video!!! Such clear instructions and so easy!!
Love the rice bag tutorial! Thank you - and love your easy, fun approach.
I'm cleaning my craft room and again enjoying your playlists, this is such a great video, very entertaining. I love the way you share your skills, you are a gem & so inspirational. Thank-you Lindsay!!
Thank you for in formation...I have made rice bags but never did the sewing down the middle!! Great idea!!
What a great idea. Google lead me to your video and your rice bag is exactly what I need. I also like the gift idea especially for friends and family who aren't in to sewing or crafting. I'll be sharing this on my Facebook page.Sarah, Florida
Thank you for the teaching. I miss my Kenmore so much. Don't ever get rid of it. I had mine for 23 years. Looks a lot like yours. After I got rid of it I saw a UA-cam video on how to care for your sewing machine. I wished I had seen it before I oiled it wrong and ruined it. God bless you.
I accidently broke my Kenmore years ago. The shaft that holds the needle got pulled out of whack. My grandpa took it apart but couldn't fix it. I now have a Brother that works great. I've had it repaired once so far.
❤love your tutorial, so casual, informative and fun. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Thank you! I love your machine!
Thank you! I'm making some this weekend, and i wanted them scented. This was the perfect tutorial for me
Wonderful instructions and FUN to watch the process with you! Thanks so much!
That is a wonderful idea. I will have to make some of those for my family. Thanks for sharing, love your tutorials.
I broke my wrist and am getting OT now. They suggested warming my arm before my home prescribed exercise.
I made 2 of these since they are so easy!
Thznk you, thank you, thank you!
I hope that wrist feels better soon!
Love your video one of the easy ones. I have seen
I was actually just gifted 2 smaller ones made with heavy placemat/upholstery Christmas fabric and they had shelled field corn in them. Thanks for sharing how to make the longer ones.
You must have been mind reading because I've been researching how to do this for the last two weeks!! Thanks for being crafty and taking the rest of us along with you :) Can't wait to make these now!!
good for you:)
❤
She’s great- I’m going to make this for Christmas gifts!
Nice!
I am making one for my husband and one for myself. One for my little chuweinee pup too. She stays so cold. Adding flax seed as someone below mentioned is a great idea too. Thank you!
I can't wait to try this. Understand corn (deer) and buckwheat are also good fillers. Oh my, Christmas is taken care of. Thank You!!
Thank you I love making bean bags for my family they all love . ❤️👍
Thank you , thank you for the tutorial!! One thing I think I might do tho is make it a tad longer, but that's a decent size you have there too. Great job!!
You are my spirit animal! I never measure or take the time to mark things or think things though ahahahaha. I am so glad there are people like me out there. great video!
This is perfect! And O loved the "realness" of this video!
These rice bags are really nice for winter time, but now that it is summer, I have found that if I put the bag in the freezer that it keeps the cold almost as long as it keeps the heat. It has been nice to put on my neck to keep my cool.
If I make these (which I will) I will make an inner bag with the rice in it so that the outer bag will be washable. I'll see if I can post a pic on my Facebook page.
Thanks for the tutorial and the quick tips.
Yes, I make them with "pillow cases" as well........but remember the cost then doubles, and they do work perfectly without them.......

I love this video! Your energy is amazing. You make these look so easy. Going to give a try. Thank you!
You are so adorable. Thanks for the tutorial!
You have an inviting personality.
I made something similar one year for the "menfolk", only they were hand warmers, 3x6 inches. They would heat them up and stick them in their pockets to use while they were working out doors and when they would go hunting. We also used them as "bobo" packs, again 3x6 inches, (the perfect size). But I never thought about making them that size for your back and shoulders. Thank you.
Beautiful inside out :)
I needed this to plan homemade gifts for this year!
they make great gifts!
Thank you so much for this wonderful video. I am going to make lots of these for Christmas presents now I know how to make them and what to put in. I love your videos, and watch them as soon as I know they are there.
Thanks for the video. You're a hit! For those of us who are not quilters, what are the dimensions of a "fat" quarter measure? Also, how would you use an oil in it?
Thank you for sharing Lindsay. I love my rice bag some one gave me. Now I know how to make one for someone else. Edith
Great video.
Loooove your bubly and dynamic personnality!
The funnel that is used in Canning would be perfect because it's round enough and wide enough to fill your bags with
I like to put essential oil in my rice, smells so good with lavender
Thanks. Nice tutorial as I was trying to figure out what to make for Christmas gifts.
What a hot mess (in a great way!) I absolutely love it, love your teaching style. You’re awesome!!
Very nice..I had a sewing machine just like yours It had the cams on top. I gave it to my daughter 😀
You are fun to watch! I'm going to make this today! Thank you!
Great tutorial! Thanks. If you take a Gatorade bottle or pop bottle cut the bottom off . This make a great funnel for rice.
You are fun to watch. Thanks for the lesson.
Thanks Tricia, I made them and they were a hit at Christmas.... You rock, thank you.
I'm so sorry, thank Trisha
So making some this weekend!! Thanks for the inspiration!!
You are so funny and explain everything perfectly ! Thanks for the video !!
Great GIFT IDEA. THANKS FOR SHARING.
Thanks Linsay and love the jumper (yes I'm in the UK). Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Christine
thanks, you too! I think i like "jumper" better than "sweater" because it just makes us sound like a bunch of sweaty Americans now that I think about it LOL!
Your tutorial is amazing! Thank you so much! Love from the UK!
Xxx
great video. I hope you make more crafty videos. You are a natural, very fun to watch.
This design is what I was looking for. Thank you for sharing.
What a great idea. Thanks
Lindsey, I just adore you and your videos. This is a great idea that I'd forgotten about. Think I'll whip a few up for Christmas! Thanks for the tips. Merry Christmas!
Have fun & merry Christmas!
I subscribed because you are so funny! “Two dials are all I can handle” - me too 😉😂! “Get rice in your bed you get MICE in your bed” 😂😂 My
bad day is not so bad anymore . . . Frown turned upside down 🤗
Seriously - great instructional video - clear instructions, nothing fancy and an extra tip ( the seam down the middle) to make your rice heat pack more functional. Thanks 💕
Good tip thanks I’ve never seen one sown down the middle like that. Merry Christmas to you also
Thanks so much! Quick n easy! Happy holidays!
If you put some flax seed in them too they stay warmer longer…. don't know why that is. Thanks!
probably because of the oil in the flax, great idea!
yes, i have read that flax seeds retain heat longer than wheat and rice :-)
Great info love your presentation very easy thanks !!!Dee
Glad it was helpful!
thank you i made it for my dad for fathers day he loves it
Great job and excellent gift idea!
Loved the video!! Great Job!!
you are so funny! I loved this video! Im going to make some of these for the holidays !!! thanks!!!!
As you were talking about marking it I heard "mark it, mark it good" there is a song with lyrics similar to that. And I'm here from your Sat Chat 12/3/22 and am curious about the surprising markers. Yes I watch Sat Chat to the end. I love everything you teach. Thanks Lindsay!
Salt n pepa!
Love your rice bag, but I was taught to do this with sand. The rice, if it gets damp it can mold, and then the bag get's yukie. With sand, you can even wash the bag if it needs it. I'm talking about playground sand. Along time ago, I was an occupational therapist and we used sand bags. Rice is a little lighter, but sand is cleaner.
Would you be able to mix flower buds like lavender or put some essential oils in it as well? I'm asking because I'm making one tomorrow for my s.o. grandmother and she has arthritic pain along with other things and I read frankincense and myrrh help but I dont know how those would smell and if they dont have a strong smell is like to add lavender buds for a relaxing note to it.
Sorry I know you posted this comment forever ago but his GMA was an occupational therapist as well so I thought she'd appreciate it more if I made it properly.
Yes, I just saw another video where they mix lavender with the rice to create an aroma pillow ;)
Sherlock Hoka does the sand have a tendency to sift out through the fabric?
I’m going to use crushed walnut shells in mine (aka reptile bedding). You don’t have to worry about mold and it supposedly retains the heat better than other filling.
Thanks for sharing you made it so and fun. Now I have my Christmas gifts all made and it was awesome..
You inspired me! So fun to watch and will see more of you:). Thank you!
Hi. Love them,, next time you buy the rice save the nice bag to make a shopping bag , I have been making bags from cat food bags the plastic bags wish I could send you a picture of them. Thanks 🙏🏼
You did a wonderful job
Love your video! Yo are so cute!❤
Thank you so much!!
I never thought about using rice, but I might give that a try. I’ve always made them with buckwheat. As far as using teabags, in my opinion is not a good idea. With the steam that’s going to be created it might actually make the tea leaves moldy. I would stick to using essential oils.for scent
This is spectacular!! I plan on making these and catnip cat toys...if I ever get a sewing machine ;) LOL
THANKS FOR RESPONDING SO QUICKLY. I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR EASY PROJECTS TO MAKE AND SELL FOR CHRISTMAS AND THIS IS A GOOD ONE 👍 ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. 🤗
