Default I Want to Make Hand-warmers..Can Anyone Help?

I want to make hand-warmers for my quarterback. I thought of cutting up a Reggie figure platform, painting it, and making a decal for it, but I am wondering what other methods are out there that I may not have thought of.

Hey Bill,
I've actually used some scrap that was left on Miggle figures. Sometimes there is a small looking "dowell" scrap piece that wasn't cut off. I used to save them. I'll see if I have any. They are the perfect size to put on the front of the QB.
Mike
Put out a post to everyone to be on the lookout for them.

Default Simple

I actually make my wristbands and towels using painted paper towels cut to size. Simply slap some paint on a paper towel - team color, of course - wait until it dries and cut it to size with a brand new razor - twice the size 'cause ya gotta fold it over to make the pocket . Slap on a logo or 2 and affix it to your QB's waist with a lil ModPodge as well as going over the entire hand warmer to lock in the paint. Wait a coupla hours and seal it with Gloss.

I have our pet gerbils who are extremely good seamstresses sew them for my figures. Very realistic and the dyed mouse fur that they use simulates the nylon almost exactly.

Or if you don't have gerbils...GREEN STUFF rules.

I thought of using a cut off heat-shrinking tube. i will start with that and as always report the results.
