Tutorial: Tweed mustache hand warmer

Cold hands are no fun on a winter day! I know once my hands get chilled it’s hard to get them feeling warm again. Mike from The Crafty Gentleman shows how to make a tweed hand warmer shaped like a mustache. It’s filled with rice and, after it’s heated up in the microwave, can warm your hands for 20-30 minutes. The mustache shape is a fun twist on a hand warmer, but it’s also a good shape to sit in the bottom of your pocket.
