You need:
- Polar fleece
- Lace
- Needle and thread
- Embroider thread (optional)
- Lace
- Rice or something similar to put inside.
Gather all of your materials together and sketch out the shape of Bergamot’s head onto the polar fleece.
Basically it’s an oval with two ears on the side, don’t cut between the ears.
Cut out two pieces in this shape. Of course you could make them any shape you want… I just have a serious Bergamot obsession!
Put the two pieces good sides together and use the needle and thread to blanket stitch around the outside, stop when you have 2cm gap.
Flip the whole thing inside out. through the hole.
You should have something like this…
Fill the head with some rice. You don’t need more than a handful, just enough so it’s not flat.
Stitch the hole shut completely. I also stitched across the ears and up between them so they look more like ears.
To make it a bit more Bergamot-ish I added a little lace bow and then her V as a nose. I completely forgot the hearts in the ears >_< I’m planning to make a whole lot more of these so hearts next time haha!
So there you go! Perfect for Winter, just make sure you don’t use anything meltable/flammable in the construction then pop it in the microwave for 10 seconds to warm up. Keep it in your pocket in winter or make two and pop them in your slippers :D Now if only I could come up with one of these that was cooling, it’s sooooooo hot right now ;_;
Someone want to come to my house and pour ice all over me? Or bring a snow machine and turn my apartment into a winter wonderland? Yes please! |

So cute!! I wish I had time to make some of these! You should just come and visit here, it’s sooo cold. T_T
I wish!! I’m so sick of the damn heat ;_;
:0 are you going to sell these too? I’d take it to Uni everyday in winter now we have student microwaves to reheat :)
Really? I hadn’t thought of selling them but now that you mention it I’ll definitely look into it, it would be so much cheaper to post them than the big Bergamots!
So CUTE! <3
<3
They are so cute, I will definitely make some for later but I am feeling your pain right now. It’s also sweltering hot over here. (Got my fan on and everything)
I know what you mean, it’s so miserable in the heat ;_;
These are so cute! I have something like this but its just a big rectangle for around the neck. I might have to make a couple of these since we just got like five inches of snow. Also, I like putting essential oils in the rice so they smell yummy when you heat them up.
Omg snow? SO lucky! I wish it would snow here and cool everything down so I could put these to good use!
Aaaw soooo cute!
Heehee thank you!
Cute! It is very cold here in Omaha and I love Bergamont, so having a small little Bergie hand warmer would be so fun
:D Let me know if you make one, that would be so cute!
You could always sew an ice/gel pack into one and pop it into the freezer. :3
Oooo now you’re speaking my language, genius!!
