Where do you get the cherry pits? I have trouble with the smells from rice ,cherry pits may be better.
I actually saved the pits from cherries that I picked; washed and dried them. I also had friends saving them for me. The corn is much easier to acquire, of course. I sewed them in a muslin bag, then made an outer bag which was more decorative. I put the muslin bag in the mircrowave, had velcro closing sewed on the fold-over end of the outer bag. I made a small quilt square, but embroidered design would be cute. You just don't want to pack the bag too full as it needs to mold to your neck, shoulder or wherever you need the heat.
