DIY A Draft Stopper Using An Old Item You Already Have
By Lindsay Donaldson
Grab an old sock, or one that's lost its mate to the dryer abyss, fill it with grains, stitch the opening shut, and you've got an easy (and basically free) draft blocker.
Hockey socks or those meant to cover soccer shin guards are a great choice. The best options are ones that are long enough to cover your knee.
The easiest and quickest method is to fill the sock with grain as-is; if there are any holes in the sock, stitch them closed before adding the grain.
Sew the opening shut, and place your new draft stopper along the gap between the door and the floor. You can also place it on windowsills or other draft-prone spots.
