Corn Bags

 

Instructions for Corn Bags

 

 

Note:  Make sure you use the Farm Corn.  Regular corn will pop in the microwave!

Materials Needed:

 

                  two pieces of material for each bag (9½ " x 11" each) or you could fold the material and cut one piece (9½ " x 22"), thus
eliminating one side seam

 

                  6 cups of corn for each bag

 

Instructions:

 

1.                  Using ½ " seam allowance, sew around outside (after placing two pieces, right sides together), leaving a 3" opening to put corn in.

 

2.                You can sew this opening shut by hand or just fold edges in and top stitched with the sewing machine.

 

3.                Put 6 cups of corn in each bag. The generally corn comes in 50 lb. bags that you buy at the feed store for about $6.00/bag.

 

4.                You can probably get 20 corn bags from each 50 lb bag.

       
Here's the poem to be we used (which is a compilation of several rice bag poems):

 

Corn Bag

 

I'm a little comfort bag.
Just keep me by your chair.
2 to 3 minutes in the microwave,
I'll warm you everywhere..

Apply me to a troubled spot.
The heat will ease the pain a lot.
Or warm those little toes so cold.
You'll find this nice to have and hold.

Or freeze me for a little while
And fix that boo-boo up in style.
Instead of a compress made of ice,
You'll find this pillow extra nice.

On aching backs or shoulders
Or necks or hurting heads,
Apply me cold or heated
For comfort it is said.

So when your body is yearning
For a little extra care,
You'll find this little corn bag
Is a "friend" who's always there.
