Are you tired of feeling a chill every time you walk past your doors and windows? It’s time to put an end to those pesky drafts with your very own DIY draught excluders! Not only are these simple to make, but they can also add a stylish touch to your home decor. So grab your materials and let’s get started on creating your very own draught excluders.

First things first, gather your materials. You will need some fabric of your choice, whether it’s a cozy fleece or a funky patterned cotton. You’ll also need filling material such as polyester stuffing or old fabric scraps, as well as a sewing machine and thread. Optional extras include buttons, ribbons, or any other decorations you’d like to add.

Once you have your materials, it’s time to measure and cut your fabric to the desired length for your door or window. You can choose to make one long draught excluder or a few smaller ones, depending on your needs. Remember to leave some extra fabric for seam allowances.

Next, it’s time to sew your fabric into a tube shape, leaving one end open for the filling. If you’re using multiple fabrics or adding decorations, now is the time to attach them. This is where you can get creative and add your personal touch to your draught excluder.

Now comes the fun part – filling your draught excluder! Use your chosen filling material to stuff your fabric tube until it’s nice and plump. Make sure to distribute the filling evenly so that your draught excluder is uniform in density.

Once your draught excluder is filled to your liking, it’s time to close up the open end. You can do this by hand stitching or using your sewing machine. Make sure to secure the end tightly to keep the filling in place.

And there you have it – your very own DIY draught excluder! Now all that’s left to do is to place it in front of your doors and windows to keep those drafts at bay. Not only will you be saving energy by keeping the heat in, but you’ll also have a stylish and personalized addition to your home decor.

So next time you feel a draft, don’t just reach for a blanket – grab your DIY draught excluder and show those chilly gusts who’s boss! With a little bit of creativity and some simple sewing skills, you can say goodbye to drafts and hello to a cozy, stylish home. Happy making!
