You are such a smarty hearty! Don't you know I have a bunch of "magic" gloves stashed from when I was sure I was going to knit up a bunch of fun fur cuffs! Well I never knit up the cuffs, but I've still got the gloves, and a big ole bin of rice. I love this idea :)

That is a great idea!! I've always made rice packs to use in lue of a heating pad but never thought to use them like that.

How I would have loved these many years ago when I was in marching band in northern Ohio.

That's quite awesome. As a perpetual sufferer of cold extremities, I may have to give that a try.

Wow - we must have been sharing some crafty vibes across the country, because I was just thinking of doing this with cow corn. My mom's made larger heating pads with them for years, and I literally just thought to put them in handwarmers this past week. Freaky-deaky!

Diane,

These are a brilliant hack. I can see tacking those rice bags over the wrists in gloves or gauntlets, then freezing them or zapping them to treat that constant ache from too much computerizing/knitting/weight training.

Hmm..
