Instructions: 1. Trim two pieces of silk to 5 by 9 inches and pin them inside out (shiny side in).
2. Sew the pieces together and leave a 1 1/2-inch hole at one of the shorter ends. Push the fabric through the hole to put the silky side on the outside again.
3. Fill it with 2 1/2 cups of rice and 1/4-1/2 cup of lavender, or until it is loosely packed.
4. Sew up the hole.
5. Recipients of this gift can lie back and rest it on their closed eyes when they need to relax.
