Have you ever gone outside on a snowy day for a snow ball fight?  What is usually the first thing to get cold and drive you indoors?  Okay, the second thing; your hands.  These are really simple hand warmers made fleece and rice.  You heard me, rice. You could use any other grain you have on hand, but I have rice, so rice is what I used.  This Instructable is to teach you How to Make Sewn Hand Warmers. Let’s get started.

Supplies:
Fleece cut into 4-5 inch squares (two per hand warmer)
Thread
Rotary cutter
Cutting mat
Straight edge

Rice (+/- 6 cups)
¼ c, dry measuring cup

these look sooo cozy,I wasn't sure how well the fleece would hold up in the microwave. How long do you put them in there for?
