The heating packs can be any size you would like; as small as hand packs if making for someone that walks in a city out in the cold, or as large as a heating pad for a knee or back. It varies. The amount of rice you put in it will also vary. For a 5x7 heating pad, I have put 2 1/2 lbs of rice with essential oils mixed. See what works for you after you hold it in your hand and maneuver the bag.

The material to stuff the pillow is expensive. You have to put a lot stuff inside the pillow. One small package of stuffing is about $7 or $10 and to stuff this pillow needs several bags of stuffing, thus the pillow will get expensive. How you handle that. Am I buying the stuffing in wrong place.
