If you follow along on Instagram, you'll know that we've been fighting the good fight against hand-foot-mouth disease in our house. Poor little Max came down with it on Tuesday and we've basically been in survival mode ever since. Very little sleep, lots of crying, and Max was pretty uncomfortable too.
I kid.
Needless to say, sewing wasn't really at the forefront of my priorities this week. Round about Thursday, though, I was going completely stir crazy from being under pseudo-quarantine and doing nothing creative all week. Enter this crazy simple and fast DIY.
I spotted this tutorial on Pinterest last week and had to give it a try (click here for the full instructions). I had some fabric squares laying around (3.5" squares) and thought they would do the job perfectly. I actually like this size squares better than the ones in the tutorial.
It only takes a few minutes to make these once your fabric is cut. It's probably the fastest sewing project I've ever done. Sew part of the way, fill with rice, finish sewing, use pinking shears, DONE.
20 seconds in the microwave and your hands will be nice and toasty. But, um, be careful. You might have a mega-powerful microwave and it could be too hot. Use your brain.
These make fantastic stocking stuffers and inexpensive friend/teacher/coworker/surprise-you-bought-me-a-gift-but-I-didn't-get-one-for-you-because-I-didn't-know-we-were-that-close gifts.
I hope to be back to regular posting this week. I can't wait to show you the fall flip-flop that my fellow Interior Designer friends Sidney and Marci helped me with last weekend. The house is looking amazing and refreshed and cozy.
Oh, and in case you're worried, Max is feeling much better. Which is good, since his first birthday is in 4 days. I, however, am an emotional train wreck because my baby is growing up and I've barely slept in a week. Or 4 years, depending on how you look at it. Good news for you - fun DIYs to share in the coming weeks for his first birthday party!

So glad to hear everyone is feeling better. You'll be able to catch up on that sleep in another 20 years time ;) Love these little hand warmers - will be great for heating up and putting in our pockets for winter walks (oh who am I kidding I'll be more likely to use them as quick foot warming in winter while I lay in bed and do nothing! ;) ) Hope things continue to improve - looking forward to reading all about the birthday celebrations (time does pass too quickly!).
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Our house gets soooooo coooold in the winter that we'll probably just end up using them around the house. Love the toe warmer idea!
