Homemade Heating Pad

Hello Bossom Buddies,
I wanted to share this great homemade heating pad. If you can't sew and don't want to go to the trouble, you could use a tube sock and add rice/flax seed. But for the rice it's recommended to not use instant.
I made one in about 45 minutes. I'm not great at sewing, so it shouldn't be hard. I added some clover,cinnamon, and rosemary. Smells great.
Here's the website

I have a similar scented heating pad that I bought for a good bit of money ~ the only thing is now, the smells seems to make me sick everytime I use it!!! I am thinking about taking it apart and adding something else into it ~ so if you pick a smell make sure its something you can handle, because it is very aromic when heated!!!!
~ I'd like to make on with peppermint, only because the smell is very soothing!!!

That's a good suggestion.
The first one I made I put rosemary, but now that I warmed it up, the smell doesn't smell so good. Made a smaller one for my booby program...I think it smells better. Just put some chammomile,cloves,
and cinnamon. The chammomile gives it a nice aroma. Defenitely will try the mint though.

was thinking in regards to the heating bag that doesn't smell as nice, if you have left over fabric, sew a pillow sham for it, and then after you heat it, stick in a ziploc type baggie (one that seals) and that into the sham. this was you still get the heat but not the smell. I think temporarily this is what i am going to do..........then I'll look for a way to replace the stench with peppermint ~ but I think i will test the peppermint being warmed up first!!! LOL wouldn't want to go through all that work of making a new one, only to find out it stinks too!!!

That's a good idea. I might do that until I get a chance to just open up a seam and take the rosemary out. I might make some smaller sized ones with just rice. I wish I had some flax seeds though, I'm sure it would make a better stuffing. But the rice is good enough. Thanks Henri.
