DIY heating pad.

I was having a particularly crummy night on Monday, with a belly ache on top of it all. The only thing that seemed to be helping was warmth and pressure. And while I have a heating pad, it doesn't help in the way of heaviness. As usual I had been pinteresting earlier in the day and was reminded of the heating pads I used to make when I was younger. You can take many different things and see them up into fabric and it makes a great little warmer. 

I chose a soft plaid I had laying around and cut it into a kitty cat shape and sewed it up, leaving about a 2 inch hole in the side where I could stuff it. I had in my cupboard a few bags of different dried beans, and a ridiculous amount of white rice so I poured it all into the bag I had made, sewed up the hole, and threw it in the microwave for a few minutes and done! I now had a nice heavy kitty shaped heating pad. 

My cat approves since he wouldn't get his tail out of the pictures. 

There you have it! A quick simple DIY. 

You can use all kinds of things to stuff it and add herbs and oils to make it smell good if you use it for headaches and the like as well. 

Till next time!

Update:

I made another kitty last night for my sister and remembered to take a picture of it pre sewed
