Heart Hand Warmers

In anticipation of Valentine's Day, and because of the winter chill, we made heart shaped hand warmers at MOPS last month.

Each heart is made with a muslin liner that holds 1/3-1/2 cup rice. The rice can be scented with your favorite oils for relaxation. We had lavender available at our meeting. Once filled the liner is stitched up and then a felt heart is sewn around it.

Some of the moms at group personalized their hearts by adding embroidered images or felt embellishments. Some had a different color front and back or tied off the embroidery floss with a tiny bow. However they personalized them they all turned out cute.

It was also the perfect craft to work on while chatting. Which was helpful because it had been over a month since our last meeting and there was a lot of catching up to do.

Many blessings this fine frosty day and my your fingers always stay warm.--Kate
