In part two of our fun Christmas Crafts to Make series, we’ll be working on a kid craft project that’s perfect for this increasingly cool temperature – neck warmers. Now, neck warmers may seem on the surface to be old-fashioned and perhaps something that only your grandparents would use, but neck warmers (or neck rolls, as some people call them) are little wonders. You can use it as neck heating pad to reduce stress and treat a strained neck muscle. You can use it in place of a heater on cold winter nights. You can even put it under your pet’s bed to give them added warmth.
Did I pique your interest yet? Read on to learn how to make yourself some neck warmers!
Neck Warmers Supplies
- A clean, soft sock. It should be long enough to wrap around the back of the neck
- Uncooked rice
- Piece of yarn or string
Neck Warmers Instructions:
- Fill the sock with uncooked rice.
- Tie the end of the sock with the yarn or string. Make sure it’s really tight so the rice won’t spill out.
- To use: microwave the neck warmer in microwave on high for 1 minute. Wrap around the neck and relax.
It’s best to use long densely knitted socks such as these ones below:
