Relaxing Eye Pillows  This eye pillow is filled with rice, scented with lavender (for relaxation), and adds gentle pressure when placed on the eyes. For an extra treat, I like to heat the eye pillow in the microwave for 30 seconds before applying. How-to:  - Add 6 drops of lavender oil to 1 cup of rice. Let this mixture "marinate" for 30 minutes  - Cut two scraps of fabric approx. 4-inches wide by 8-inches long - Sew the scraps together (right sides facing) on three sides  - Turn the fabric pouch right-side-out and fill with lavender rice - (Do not overfill...leave room for the rice to move within the pouch and conform to eye shape) - Double stitch the filled pouch closed.  - Enjoy! |
