Mimi, this is a great tute. I really appreciate the link.

I'm a gardener and know about the plastic versions of stuff like vermiculite but didn't know there was a biodegradable version which could do the same thing but much more affordably. And, like the rice pack hotpads/coolers I've made and used in the past, these are biodegradable and usable and affordable!

I'm definitely adding these to my "to do" list.

Vickie, they work up fast unless you are making thousands.

:shock: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have been making the cool ties for many years as gifts to troops, neightbors, just anyone who looks like they could use one. They are very easy to make, thanks for posting the tut. I never thought about it. Figured everyone and his cousin probably knows about it already. I guess this means you are the smarter peson...lol. I like your idea about the "kiss".

The "kiss" makes the helmet bareable in the heat. Our guys and gals cook in that weather and all their gear.

Super
Thanks a lot! I bought one that I wear around my neck when I go on a long bike ride (cycling)I have such a hard time coping with hot weather and that is wonderful. Now, I'll try to make some WOW
