I made one for my mom and she loves it. I used a thick velvet and sewed scuba on with applique stitch for the eyes and beak. I think I filled it with lentils instead of rice because that’s what I had on hand.
Great idea! Thanks for visiting Annari.
These are adorable! Also, flannel would work better! It doesn’t sweat like fleece does, and there is a never-ending supply of cute prints to choose from! Thanks for the super fun idea!
How long do they last?
[…] These cozy and quick owl hand warmers are a must have in your home so find the link to craft them Here […]
I just found these and have 2 questions.
Does the microwave interfere with the craft glue?
How long do you microwave them, wouldn’t want little ones to get burned.
Thanks for the pattern, super cute.
Hi Cheryl! You only heat them for a few seconds, 10-15 depending on your microwave, so heat should be no problem and the glue should not be a problem either. Test with lower timeframes to be safe. Ü
I love these!!! Have you run into any problems with them “sweating” after being heated? I find the fleece wet after heating. Any solution?
I haven’t Monique but I’ve not used them a whole lot either. That very well could be an issue. Just leave them out to air after use if that happens for sure! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Love this idea!!! Do you find that fleece sweats when the rice is heated up? Or should it be lined with something?
These are darling! Thank you for sharing this pattern as well as gift tags!
I made some for Christmas gifts. You can see them on my blog:
