DIY Soothing Eye Pack with Lavender

This is perfect when your eyes need a rest,

whether they are tired, allergies bothering them,

maybe a migraine the reasons are endless.

Heads up you need to know how to sow or someone that does.

What you will need:

One 5"x22" piece of fabric

1 1/4c rice

4 drops of lavender essential oil

How to create:

Fill a bowl with the rice and add the essential oil to the rice and stir.

Allow the oil to absorb while making the pouch.

Fold the piece of fabric together so that the fold is on a short side.

The right sides should be facing each other.

Sew the 2 long sides closed using a 1/4" seam allowance.

Leave one short side open because this will be

the top where you fill it.

Flip inside out so that the wrong side turns in, and the

seams are now on the inside.

Using a ruler, make a horizontal line about 1" inward from the

open short side with tailor's chalk. Then starting at that

line draw 3 other horizontal lines, evenly spaced, starting from

the line you drew to the other short side. These lines will be

used to stitch over, in order to create baffles for the heat pack.

The baffles allow the rice to stay dispersed throughout the pack.

Stitch ONLY on the 3 parallel lines you drew.

Separate the rice into 4 equal parts. Put each part into a

baffle using a funnel or making a paper funnel.

Next fold the open side down once about 1/2" and then

again 1/2". This will create the seam to close the pack.

Pin and sew closed.

You can warm the pack up in the microwave for 30 seconds

and place it on your eyes.

***If you need to replenish the scent, use a seam ripper

to open the horizontal seam, refill or re-scent and re-close.***
