Tutorial for cute little hearts to warm your hands and pockets. Make a bunch and place them in your loved ones pockets on a cold day.
Draw a small heart shape approximately 4″w x 5″h. Cut out 2 hearts for each hand warmer.
Turn right sides together and pin. Place into sewing machine and stitch together with a 1/4″ seam allowance. Leave a 1/2″ – 3/4″ opening for the rice.
Press seams with an iron. Clip into seam allowance at curves and trim bottom tip. Also remember to clip into the “V” at the meeting point of the top curves. Turn right side out.
Roll and turn the opening seam allowance under 1/4″. Press again with a hot iron.
Place funnel into opening and pour rice into heart. Leave enough room to have rice jiggle around. Do not overload the heart.. This is important, as you need enough room to place the heart into your sewing machine and stitch the opening closed.
Pin opening closed. Push the rice aside and pin again. This will hold the rice in place while closing the opening. Machine stitch closed. Remember to back stitch at each end.
