This neck pillow can be stuffed with batting or stuffing or you can stuff it with rice and use it as a heating pad.
This is also a great project to practice round curves.
On a piece of heavy paper or poster board draw a shape like the following...
Cut out the shape and use as a pattern for the pillow. It
will resemble a large C and will fit around the neck once it is
finished. The pattern will be placed on the fold of the material. The
fold is where the material is folded in half.
Using your pattern place on the fold of your material and cut two
pieces out of fleece material. Place right sides together and stitch
around the edges leaving a 2 inch hole for stuffing.
Turn right side out and stuff with stuffing for a pillow or for
a heating pad, stuff with plain white rice. Sew hole up securely by
hand stitching.
*For a heating pad warm up in the microwave for 1 minute or for a cold pack, keep in the freezer.
For fun you can turn this into a caterpillar or snake by adding felt pieces for eyes and a tongue.
