After a nasty whiplash injury over 20 years ago, I still have ongoing neck pain. One of the best ways to relieve it is by applying a heat pack. I designed myself a long heat pack that I can drape around my neck and shoulders. Filled with wheat and lavender, it always soothes my neck pain.
I prettied it up by making a cover for it, using waffle weave cotton and a some pretty patchwork, with a button closure.
Bliss….
To make your own heat pack, check out our Winter Warmers Tutorial.
Lovely idea and great for computer neck that we all get-I like the pretty fabric
I am so glad this worked for you and how awesome that you are sharing the tutorial with us. Thank you.
Pretty fabrics Lisa, I think I could use this every where.
A very flash heat pack is that.
what a great idea Lisa,you clever girl
Sorry to hear you have a pain. But I guess even only have a look at the pack, it’s a pain relief.
just looking at this heat pack might lessen the pain already (o:
Have a lovely weekend.
I have neck problems as well. Mom bought me a handmade buckwheat bag and it’s very soothing. Your heat pack is so pretty. The lavender must smell heavenly. I believe in aromatherapy. :o)
So pretty and practical! I hope your neck pain eases.
Such pretty fabrics Lisa!
very pretty for your sore neck:) I have one too,I need to use it more perhaps;)
It’s VERY pretty Lisa! Do you just heat it in the microwave?
very very nice!!!
kiss
It is so delicate looking..I really like this
Heat packs can be a life saver! I have to have mine without the lavender though as I am allergic.
I had to make one of these a few weeks ago as I had hurt my neck – wish I’d seen your tutorial back then 🙂
That is one way on relieving nagging neck pain. A heat pack is used as well as balm oil for the soothing effect.
Hi,
I would love to make your neck wrap. What were the approximate measurements for your neck wrap.
Thank you,
Debra
Debra – that is one of our earlier projects and we no longer have the sample to check the measurements. From memory it was approx 6 inches x 18 inches.
