Winter is here, cold too, with the evils that accompany.
Rheumatism, back pain, painful menstruation, colic and stomach pain...
As far as I'm concerned, my pet peeve is the cold, especially cold feet. I still have frozen feet!
Fortunately, I found a lethal weapon to fight against the cold :the dry hot water bottle.
Here's how to make one yourself. It's easy, watch:
- Cherry pits, rice, grains, whole grains... This will be the garnish of my dry hot water bottle. For my part, I used the pits of the cherries that I ate this summer. I washed them (the cores) and put them outside to dry.
- Microwaveable fabric:linen, 100% cotton, poplin. Many shoe covers are made of linen. This is what I used to avoid sewing work. This will be the container for our filling.
- Thread and a needle.
- A cover for our hot water bottle. Once again I reused a small cushion cover. But I'm sure that sewing and embroidery enthusiasts will be able to show more creativity.
1 . Trim the fabric which you have chosen with rice, grain, cereal, cherry pits or whole grains.
2. Then close it.
3. According to your convenience, add a little lavender which will perfume your hot water bottle and perfume the air with each use.
4 . Choose a cover with the right dimensions to embellish your hot water bottle or make it yourself.
5 . Without its cover, place your hot water bottle in the microwave for about 30 seconds with a glass of water, then adjust the temperature by adding 10 or 20 seconds in increments of 10 degrees.
There you go, now you're very warm, even on your feet :-)
It's nicer that way, isn't it?
And you don't need to turn up the heating temperature to be warm.
You therefore save energy.
And that's exactly what it takes to save money every day.
You will finally see your electricity or gas bills go down!
Here's something to approach winter with a little more peace of mind, guaranteed relaxation when you get home!
This DIY hot water bottle is easy and quick to make, even if you are a beginner in sewing.
And you have seen, its use is very simple.
- Do you want to transform your dry hot water bottle into a cold diffuser?
No problem!
Stuff it in a plastic bag that you will place in the freezer.
- Do not overfill your hot water bottle with the filling.
This allows better heat distribution and so that the cushion better fits the different parts of your body.
- Not only does your homemade hot water bottle warm you...
But in addition it soothes stomach aches and joint pain .
Very handy, isn't it?
