Door Draft Stopper
45-inch wide (1.2m) Tightly woven fabric
Thread
Kitty litter
This pattern is for a 36-inch (90cm)wide door. If your door is wider, adjust measurements to match.
Start by cutting a rectangle of your fabric to measure 8 x 41 inches (20cm x 1mt). Sew the two long edges together to form a 4 inch (10cm) tube making sure that you are sewing on the wrong side of the fabric as we will turn it right way later.
Sew one of the 4 inch (10cm) ends closed using double stitches on your machine.
Turn the tube right side out so that you can now see the right side of the fabric. Use a yard stick to push all corners out and smooth.
Pour the kitty litter into the tube. Leave 1-inch from the top end empty. Turn in 1/2-inch of raw edges on the end. Top stitch this seam closed.

nice! way to re-purpose cat litter:)
I love this idea, and with ice storm outside, I will be making these for sure !!
Quick, easy and very attractive. I used recycled woven aztec design material from my local thrift store and cat litter that totaled less than $5.00 for the two door draft stoppers Thats a very affordable $2.50 a piece in less than an hours time
Thanks. i was trying to figure out the best "stuffing".
This is a great idea. This doesn't have to be a cutesy project, just one that works! Especially for people that do not have the cutesy type of decor. I like it!
it was ok! But i think you should make it it into like an animal likea catapillar or a sausage dog!
Awesome Idea.
this was cool but i think you could make it a bit more kinda 'wow' looking. mabey it could be turned into an snake,worm,catterpilla or something! just by adding a head and legs that flop out the side.
simple, practical and useful. =)
Friends & Family really like these. T Y.
