Easy Cold Packs To Make
While I was making Gertie Gecko Heat Pack, a friend (thank you Kylie S) told me that she used to make cold packs with wheat. What an awesome idea!!! Every time my kids bump themselves, they would ask for a little cold gel pack. They work really well except over time the pack breaks and the gel would leak out. Here are 3 cold packs I made using the leftover pearl barley.
Easy Cold Packs
These cold packs were really quick & easy to make. This is how I made them:
- Decide on a size and draw that sized square on a cardboard,
- trace & cut out the squares from corduroy fabric,
- sew the squares right side together leaving a gap to turn right side out,
- top stitch around leaving gap open/not stitched,
- fill with pearl barley or wheat,
- top stitch the gap closed.
As these cold packs are made with fabric, it is best to store these in a snap lock bag or sealed plastic bag to keep them dry in the freezer. Easy peasy :).
