Here's what Pinterest promises:
To make your own shapeable ice pack for booboos and sprains: Mix 1 part rubbing alcohol with 3 parts water in a ziploc bag. Double bag it with another ziplock bag, and put in the freezer. Pull out and put inside a tea towel or fabric bag, use on sprains, strains and other booboos. (disdressed.blogspot.com)
Here's what I did:
I gathered the materials (which is luckily something that is always in the bathroom cabinet).
I took a picture of a bottle of rubbing alcohol, an empty
ziploc baggie, and a glass of water ... but then deleted it on accident
I mixed 1/4 cup of rubbing alcohol and 3/4 cups of water in a snack size baggie. Stuck it in the freezer and forgot about it waited.
I haven't tried it yet. I was planning to if hubby hurt his foot again.
ReplyDeleteI would think the size of the bag or how full it was wouldn't matter.
If you use it shortly after you stick it in the freezer, I think you'll have some luck!
