DIY aromatherapy heat/cold {rice} packs: Snuggle Bunnies

Who likes a little extra comfort with some warmth when cold, cooling off when hot and relaxing/calming essential oils to promote a good night’s sleep!? Don’t we all? 

Only a few more weeks ’til Easter!

Looking for a (useful and handmade) gift idea? I like to give my nieces and nephews candy-free gifts. Since I’m so in love with essential oils, I think these cute lil’ snuggle bunny heat/cold packs are a nice gift idea. Perfectly soothing. Also a cute idea for essential oil class/party door prizes too. 

What I used: (*includes some affiliate links)

  • fabric – I purchased something similar to this (makes 15 bunnies)

Tools: printer, scissors, sewing machine/thread, straight pins, screwdriver

What I did:

Iron fabric. 

Download and print the bunny pattern on card stock. Cut out pattern.

Trace pattern on wrong side of doubled fabric. Pin fabric pieces together and cut out bunny shape.

Sew all sides (I sewed as close to the raw edge as I could get and capturing both pieces – front/back – of fabric). Leave the bottom open.

Turn right side out (a screwdriver comes in handy for the ears – don’t poke too hard). 

Iron. Fold in bottom raw edges and iron. 

Fill with rice. You’ll want it to be a bit floppy, not super packed full. 

Sew opening shut.

Add a ribbon bow, attach instructions inside a gift card and a sample of soothing/relaxing essential oil (Recommendations: Young Living Peace & Calming, lavender, Valor or Gentle Baby).

Print usage instructions: (download printable)

Cute, handmade hot or cold aromatherapy snuggle bunnies to promote a good night’s rest.

Fun idea: sew on a small pocket, add a felt carrot to tuck inside and add your essential oils to that!
