torque-witch:deer-acolyte:torque-witch:Torque’s Spoonie Comfort Rice BagYou’ll Need1lb Uncooked RiceScissors, FabricNeedlesPinsYarnStep 1: Cut and pin down fabric square. Lay both pieces together on the reverse side.Step 2: Sew fabric, leaving one corner open at least 2 inchesStep 3: Pull your needle through the inside, then turn the fabric inside out. Step 4: Your needle should now be on the outside of the square.Step 5: Fill with uncooked rice. A funnel would be great here! I used a measuring spoon. You may also wish to fill with Lavender buds, or other herbs that can be heated or cooled safely.Step 6: Sew open corner shut. I left some yarn at the end to do some knot work to seal my intentions.*OPTIONAL*Step 7: Cut out a square patch of fabric and stitch on this sigil for “Relief”. I recommend actually sewing two pieces of fabric together first, like in Step 1, to avoid fraying.Step 8: Sew on patch to make a crystal pocket!ConsiderationsGive yourself at least an hour for this project. It would be faster with a sewing machine, but not everyone has one.This bag is meant to be a cold or hot compress. You can microwave or freeze the bag to your needs.Do not get the bag wet or throw in washer. Hand wash stains.Do not put crystals in the microwave or freezer. Put the crystal in the pocket after it has cooled a bit. Some crystals can break or change if exposed to extreme heat.Consider chanting over the rice to fill it with your intentions.The purpose of the sigil is so that it will be charged every time you heat or freeze the bag.If you cannot do this project, but would like one for yourself - I will be offering pre-made ones if there is an interest!Many Spoons to you all :)I love this and it’s great! :)Bonus points: > If you’re a stimmer, use two different fabrics - a soft one (like fleece) and a ribbed cotton one. > You can also make a slightly elongated/rectangular bag shape instead of square, if you’re like me and get a sore neck.> If you’re not open about your craft, stitch sigils on loose material and put them inside with the rice. >Be VERY selective of which crystals you expose to heat. When in doubt, quartz and its derivatives (amethyst, etc) is always a safe bet. Note that heat can sometimes fade the colours in your quartz, so clear is best.> A drop or two of an essential oil is your friend, just dont go overboard.> Alternatively you can smoke cleanse the bag with a nice incense and the smell will cling to it.^^ Great additions, thank you! -- source link
