Materials needed to make a microwave heat pack:

Soft flannel fabric

Muslin or other cotton fabric for a lining

2 - 3 lb. of whole corn or rice (do not use popping corn)

Needle & thread

To assemble

Cut two 12 inch squares for a back warmer out of flannel or cut two 25" x 6" rectangles for a neck warmer.

Turn right sides together and stitch 3 sides leaving 3/4" seam allowance, & turn, clipping corners. Repeat with lining fabric. Fill lining with 2 - 3 LB of whole corn & stitch closed. You can sew baffles into the fabric to keep the corn filling in place.

Insert lining with corn inside flannel. Stitch outer flannel covering closed using an invisible stitch.

Make sure to remove all metal pins and needles before placing in microwave for 1 - 2 minutes, or store in the freezer and use as an ice pack.

Need one in a hurry?

Make a rice sock. Put a pound or two of whole corn or rice in a tube sock, tie off the end with string or ribbon or stitch it closed, and microwave it for a minute. If the rice begins to take on a peculiar odor after several heatings, then empty it out and refill the sock with fresh rice. Now you know what to do with some of those stray socks you don't dare throw away in case the match shows up!
