Instructions

Cut a hole in the bottom of a plastic or paper cup. This will be your funnel to pour the rice into the sock.

Pull sock up around cup and pour in rice.

Pull out cup being careful not to spill the rice out of the sock.

Take a piece of yarn and wrap around the open of the sock to close it off.

Wrap around at least 2 times and tie in a knot.

If you are using a dishrag, place the sock in the middle of the dish rag and roll up.

Tie up each end of the dishrag like you did with the sock.

You are now ready to microwave and place on your aches and pains.

Tip: Start microwaving with 2 minutes and adjust. Sock thickness, amount of rice, and microwave will vary heating times.
