Heart Handwarmers ~ Upcycled Sweaters

Heart Shaped Handwarmers ~~~ Hey! It looks like a star in the middle... :)

Well, it's chilly this time of year, so I got busy making some heart-shaped hand-warmers.

Upcycled Sweaters made into cute little heart rice handwarmers

We always do a cookie exchange with all my besties, but as we are all getting a little more health-conscious (aka older), a little gift is more appropriate... So when I saw these cute handwarmers that Jessi made at Practically Functional, I knew what my girlfriends were getting this year for Christmas....

Hand-held Rice Warm Hearts

I had lots of sweater remnants from upcycled sweater pillows I've made, so it was fun to make these cute little heart hand warmers in lots of different colors... :)
{naturally my favorite colors are the mint and teal...: so retro cool... !!!}

Swoon.... Love these colors...!

Now let's hope that they like them as much as I enjoyed making them for them....

Hope your winter is nice and cozy warm!
x Crystelle

P.S. Just pop these little rice bags into the microwave for about 30 seconds and place them into your pockets or gloves before you go outside on a chilly day

So cute! I just made some out of socks and they are not very pretty. They do the job in our mittens though!

I really think this is the very first time I have seen this! Maybe I could make a different shape for my grandsons. They are so anti heart and pinky stuff LOL
Really nice to check out your super inspiring blog!
Blessings, Roxy

I love this...wish I had seen it in time to put some in stockings! I bet my son would play outside much longer with these in his mittens. And hubby would love them for the cold drives to the train station. Great idea! Popping over from Nap Time Crafters...I blog over at http://thehandleyhome.blogspot.com, so come say hi sometime!

I made some of these for Christmas too. I used a old red sweatshirt and wrapped them in a brown bag with a cute little "heart warming" tag on it. I'm posting them to my blog tomorrow evening...for a Valentine's Day idea.
Thanks for linking these up to Think Tank Thursday last week.

Great idea. So cute. Now if only it wasn't so hot here in Australia! Good idea to keep in mind for winter. Thanks for sharing!

Crystelle link

01/09/2013 20:32

LOL!~ Yes, I guess these handwarmers don't make a very good gift in the summer!
But you could throw them in the freezer to be used as a cold-pack.....
