A great use for RICE!
« on: March 03, 2012, 12:45:59 PM »
If you happen to have an old bag of rice laying around, here's a great way to use it up:

Take an old towel, fold it in half and sew up three sides to make a sack. Pour the rice in and sew up the last end. When you need a hot pad, throw it in the microwave and nuke it for a minute or two. (Experiment with the time to see how long it takes for it to get hot.) It stays hot for a long time.

Rice packs work great.

I also made some draft stoppers for my doors using rice, old pantyhose, and some knitted tubes. My doors are all kind of drafty, and with our cold winters, these really help keep the heat in.

Put a little lavender in there and you will have aroma therapy while soothing tired muscles  ;) ;)
