I just made them as hand warmers for the "little" cousins. I cut 4x4 squares of cotton and folded them in half and sewed all the way around leaving 3/4 inch open to turn them and added heaping 1/2 cup of rice sewed shut and stuffed into a fleece "pillowcase" 1-2 minute in the microwave and they are good for pockets for heating little hands after snowmen and snowball fights. I also made some larger ones for the truck drivers in the family to use to warm the fingers when they had to unload freight by hand. They were greatly appreciated!
