If you are like me, it doesn’t matter if it is cold outside or not. Winter and Summer are the perfect times of year for a heating pad.  DIY homemade heating pads are even better. Snuggle up to them when you are chilly, need comfort, or just like the feel of the warmth. 

First, you need to gather your supplies. What you’re going to need is one pair of thin socks, a pair of cute and cozy socks, 2 bags of small white beans, some sewing supplies, and a pair of scissors. You can have some modifications to this list, but this is the general idea.

Take the thin socks and sew them together at the cuffs, leaving about a 1-inch gap. Fill each sack with a bag of beans and then finish up the sewing job around the cuffs. This will be the inside bag for your heating pad.

Now take your cute and cozy socks and sew them together with a hole big enough to fit the thin socks filled with beans into them. Once you have the thin socks inside the cozy socks, finish up the sewing job! You’re all done! You just need to throw the heating pad in the microwave for about thirty seconds or so and then let it work its magic!

    Very important that the socks or material is a hundred percent cotton with no elastic or synthetic material otherwise could catch fire or melt in microwave

      I did this very thing but, I used an athletic long sock filled with rice before I stuffed it into the cute cozy socks.

    Could you use pinto beans instead? I ask since I already have them and money is tight.

    I made a rice one and added 1/3 cop of dried rosemary. Rosemary is an anti inflammatory and also analgesic (pain reliever)
