What an easy to follow video! I want to make a class set for my classroom (I am a primary school teacher) and was wondering how to ensure I can keep them clean and hygienic. I will attempt to make these tomorrow, thanks to your video :D

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Hi Jessica: I am so sorry I am just seeing your comment now. Making the outer cover insures that you can clean it regularly. Each child can have their own to be sure they don't pass on pink eye or one of those nasty conditions! That is cool you are a teacher. Hope you can watch some of my crafting videos, maybe in time for Halloween! All the best, Heather

is there a difference in using rice vs flax seeds?

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Thanks for asking Kay La. I found this info online and will add to the description. WHY FLAX INSTEAD OF OTHER GRAINS? Flaxseed provides a gentle, moist heat which promotes healing. Flaxseeds are flower seeds, rather than grains, so they contain 30-40% oil which remains inside the seed to be warmed again and again. Other products lose their ability to retain heat as the water cooks out of them over time. When heated, flaxseed pillows retain half their heat after an hour. Under covers (think about those toes…) the pillow will still be warm hours later. Flax never has that “cooked grain” smell other grain based products have when heated over and over again. The weight of flaxseed is gentle and comforting. Flaxseed pillows can also be chilled in the freezer to sooth fevers or slight inflammations, though they don’t get cold enough to provide the numbness needed for things like sprains and back injuries.
