Homemade Ice Packs

Have you ever needed to ice a sore muscle & grabbed an ice pack that just wasn't cutting it? Of course you have. Most of the time they're too bulky, too uncomfortable, or they just don't work for where you need to ice. Or maybe sometimes your ice pack also doubles as your heating pad & you need relief now, not in 3 hours from now. 

The good news is that if you have zippered storage bags (any size will do depending on how big you want them to be), dish soap & a freezer, then you can make your own ice packs!


The best part about these Homemade Ice Packs, is that as the dish soap thaws, the bag will form to where you need it!


Homemade Ice Packs

• zippered storage bags of any size
• dish soap

- Pour desired amount of dish soap into storage bags & freeze until firm. 
- Reuse again & again, storing in freezer between uses.
