Roasty, Toasty Slipper Rice Inserts to Keep Your Tootsies Warm

 by Crafty Heart

These inserts, made from scrap material and raw rice or buckwheat groats/whole buckwheat seeds, are so comforting and roasty, toasty to keep your tootsies warm in your slippers. 

I have made two different varieties  - one for the sole of your slipper, to wear while sitting (it is a little uncomfortable to walk on the inserts and raw rice) and the other to lay on the top of your toes (which you can wear while walking around).

Additionally - similar inserts could be made to insert into your mittens.   Just had another idea - the inserts could be slipped inside your boots too!
