We are slowing moving towards spring but there is sure to be a lot more cold weather before we get there. Pocket hand warmers are perfect for cold days – larger ones work can be tucked into pockets along with your hands and smaller ones can be put directly into mittens to help keep hands warmer. They are super easy to make and your entire family is sure to love them.
They make great stocking-stuffers for the holidays but I think these heart shaped ones could be fun Valentine’s day gifts too.
Not only are these DIY Pocket Hand Warmers with Free Printable Labels great as pocket warmers, but they also double as cold packs. Keep a few in your freezer for use as cold compresses!

Directions:

4- Using a funnel, fill your hand warmers with uncooked rice.

What a great idea! I’m assuming you microwave them to heat them. How long would you recommend?
Yes, all the heating info is right on the printable.
This is adorable!! I do want to let you know that there were ads for “Hell Fest” the movie over every single one of your pictures (when I visited) and think you should removed them. Definitely killed the warm and fuzzy vibe you have going on here.
Can you please tell me what the measurements for the mittens one is, and the one for the pocket one?
So adorable!!! Been looking for something I could make for family, that’s also useful, and this is perfect!
Thank you so very much for sharing!!!
I am just wondering how long they stay warm for.
Thanks!
