5 Minute Fleece Hand Warmers
Here is a quick, easy, and cozy gift idea! 5 minute fleece hand warmers to put inside a jacket pocket. Fill with rice and warm in a microwave to heat up! You can even add a few drops of essential oil to make them smell nice. Package up in a set of two for a sweet gift.

- 4 4" squares of fleece or cotton fabric
- white rice
- essential oil optional
- cotton thread
Cut fleece into squares.
Sew 3 sides of the fleece.
Add 2-3 T. of white rice
Add a couple of drops of essential oil.
Stitch the 4th side closed to complete the square.
Repeat for the other hand warmer and you'll have a complete set!
Note: I used pinking shears to cut the fleece and add a decorative edge at the same time. This is optional. The nice thing about working with fleece is that it doesn't fray, so you don't need to worry about hemming or finishing the edges of the fabric.
Note: Adding essential oil is totally optional, but rice does have a light musty odor when heated.
