How Do You Make Bean Bag Warmers For Pain Relief?
Aching joints and other minor pains can be relieved by applying heat to the affected area. You can make simple beanbag warmers for pain relief that are heated in the microwave. These are less expensive than single use warming wraps that are available since bean bag warmers are reusable. Unlike heating pads, you can use these when you go to sleep with minimal danger from electrical fires and shocks. Making Warmers Step 1 Measure and mark a piece of flannel fabric so that it is 10 by 11 inches in size. Cut it out along your pencil lines. Step 2 Fold it half, right sides together, so that it is 11 by 5 inches in size. Step 3 Sew the two long sides and one of the short sides closed. Step 4 Cut a 5-inch length of hook and loop tape.
