I use rice as well, and jasmine tea. Smells great. Also, some materials don't hold up in a microwave, so to ensure it doesn't catch fire, wrap in a damp paper towel and watch very closely! Usually 15-30 second intervals work best.
Easy, & fun Projects

I've made several of these w/ different fabric types & they're right: silk is the best! I put plain rice in mine, smells nice when heated...
