So we have all had pain at some time in our body, weather you are a woman and are having cramps, or if you are a man and have pulled something working out.
Well my dog decided to chew up my only heating pad a few weeks ago, and i was just to lazy/forgot to go get another one ( i mean they are pretty pricy now a days )
Its now 9:45 at night and i have killer cramps ( sometimes i hate being a woman ha-ha) and i have no heating pad or anything close. In my town the only thing open is Kroger and im not sure if they have heating pads.
so what do you do in this situation ? .....
I get CRAFTY !!!
I remembered this heating pad mom bought me a long time ago at a craft show that you heat up in the microwave and it had essential oils in it to heal and relax.
well of course when i looked to see if i still had it, I don't !!
this is when i looked up what exactly was inside these heating pads and if i had anything here at the house to make any.
I sew often so i knew i had fabric and that wouldn't be a problem, but i wasnt sure if i had anything to put inside.
I read online though that some people just fill up a tube sock and tie one end if they do not have fabric or sewing material.
I have also seen them made out of dish towels before
The one i used to have had brown beans and i know i did not have any of those in the pantry because i fixed them a few days ago.
Online it said a few things you could use as filling was
Oatmeal
Rice
Beans- pinto brown beans
flax seed
oats
well i looked and looked and i found some rice but not enough to fill it with, thats when i found baby cereal/oatmeal my roommate left behind when she moved out
I filled it up and then remembered i had some peppermint oil from when i do pedicures i sometimes put a little peppermint oil in.
I sewed it up in a cute little soccer fabric ( so my boyfriend will use it also) and now is smells great and works amazingly !!
I just saved myself about $20 and a trip out late at night by using my creativity and being crafty
