Therapy Bags with Instructions

The other day I needed to come up with a little gift to take to a breakfast , gift exchange get together. At first I was stumped and then I thought of something I could make that I hoped would be appreciated and that I could use what I had on hand already to make it.  "Therapy Bags". You know the bags filled with rice that can be heated in the microwave for a minute or so. I had scraps of cute flannel. I had rice. And I had fun essential oil fragrances that I could add. Tadahhh. Therapy bags. 

You can buy them here but....Why?

So here are the instructions:

I cut some flannel that when folded in half would go around the neck. I cut some flannel that when folded in half would make a rectangle to go on the back or tummy. I stitched two sides and left the top open. I put scented rice in the top, filling it a little less than a half full of scented rice and then turned the seam to the inside and double stitched the top down. 

When my gift as opened it was appreciated and loved!! It was Happy for me giver and happy for the receiver.  

Scents to add: Lavender, ylang ylang, orange, rosemary,
etc.

And what about this Monster Bag:

So Cute!!
