RICE SOCKS OR RICE BLANKETS
Our Maternity Department has a need for rice socks and rice blankets for the new moms. They can be put in the microwave for warmth or in the freezer for cold pack and best of all they can take it home to continue their comfort.
· You will need new white men’s tube socks, ones that have no pre-formed heal, medium is a good size.
· You will need a new receiving blanket.
· You will need uncooked white rice [NOT MINUTE RICE].
· You will need needle, thread and a scissor.
· Gift tags that tie on.
· Fill each sock two inches from the top.
· Hand or machine stitch the closure.
· Fold a new receiving blanket in half twice, machine or hand stitch the sides pour in the rice, hand stitch the closure.
On the gift tag write the instructions for use [you could make tags on computer and print them out] microwave on high for 2 minutes or until it reaches the desired warmth. Include the name of your club or organization. Enjoy!
