Many people get tight muscles in their neck and shoulders from stress. Aromatherapy neck wraps can soothe the area and relieve the tight muscles. The aromatherapy oils aid deeper relaxation.To use aromatherapy neck wraps, place it in the microwave for bursts of high heat for 30-second increments. Place the wrap on your neck and it help relieve stress.

You can make your own customized aromatherapy neck wraps easily because not everyone’s neck is the same size. All you need to do is create two sacks, one for holding the filling and the other to protect your skin from the heat. Each of the two rectangular sacks is cut to fit around your neck only with the fabric doubled in width so you can easily make a sack by sewing up one side. You can decide if you want it to overlap or you want to add ties to secure it when you are using it. You need to allow about 1/4” on each side extra to allow for the seams.

For the inner fabric, you can use any fabric that you like because this will not be seen. Broadcloth or other plain fabric will do. For the outer fabric, you can use pre-quilted fabric, polar fleece, flannel, wool or other warm comforting fabric that will be thick enough to protect your skin and keep in the warmth. You can recycle clothing to make your aromatherapy neck wraps.

If you use polar fleece, you will not have to turn the edges under because this fabric does not fray. Sew both sacks so one side is left open. After you fill the inner sack, you can sew the top closed. The outer sack of the aromatherapy neck wraps will need to have an opening so you can insert the heated bag into it.
