These cozy DIY flannel hand warmers are a wonderful gift to give or to make for yourself. Plus, they are a great way to use up scrap fabric.
Cold hands, warm heart.
When shaking hands with others, I have often heard this saying… cold hands, warm heart. Yes, most times my hands are freezing! What if I said you could have both warm hands AND a warm heart?
Well, here is one solution, hand warmers. They are great anywhere from sitting and watching TV to adding them in your coat pockets on a cold night. AND, they really make a nice gift to give this holiday season.
This craft is easy and I love that I can use scrap fabric for it if you have any.
Sew, are you ready to start?
