Draft Stopper

Fall is here and you may be feeling some drafts under your doors. This is a simple, inexpensive way to stop those drafts. I used some leftover fabric and a couple of bags of rice. Here's the "How-To":
First, cut your fabric a little longer than the width of your door & 8 inches wide.
With right sides together, stitch around 3 sides. I made 2 lines of stitching for a little extra security for all of that rice!
I clipped the corners and turned the tube right side out.
I filled it with about a bag and a half of rice.  The amount of rice needed will depend on the width of your door. Fill it up and stitch-up the end. Don't forget to measure it by your door to get a perfect fit. 
I also made a loop to hang it on the doorknob for when you needed to open the door!
That's it!   Just a few minutes to make and the draft was stopped!
These are quick and easy to make. The loop is great for hanging them on the doorknob, but when the warmer weather comes back, I slide them under the sofa until fall returns!

    How about kitty litter in the place of rice?
