Super Simple Slushy Ice Pack!
3 parts rubbing alcohol
8 parts water
Ziploc bag or Foodsaver bag
Directions:
Combine three parts
rubbing alcohol to eight parts water. Here are the sizes
I use:
- MINI PACK: 3 oz rubbing alcohol and 8 oz water
- QUART-SIZE PACK: 3/4 C rubbing alcohol and 2 C water
- GALLON-SIZE PACK: 2 C rubbing alcohol and 6 C water
If you've got a food
saver vacuum sealer, put the water/alcohol mixture in a
food saver bag, and seal it shut. That's your tightest,
most reliable seal! ....OR...... If you don't have a
vacuum sealer- no worries- just use a Ziploc "freezer
bag" (they're stronger than non-freezer bags). Also, to
prevent the bag from popping open, double bag it don't
put too much pressure on it.
Place a towel or piece
of fabric between the bag and your skin!!! Consider
making a simple cover for it, like a boo boo bear!
TIP: When you remove
the ice pack from the freezer, if it feels solid, just
smoosh it around a bit with your fingers and it'll
re-slushify and be squishy again. :)
Last, if you decided to
do this project yourself, please send me a photo of it
with your name and what state you're from! I've recently
decided to start featuring my readers' finished results.
