But let us get straight to the point. Drafts are the guests that you do not want in your house during the winter. You have so many things that you have to do, but having cold feet is the last thing that should worry you. The draft that comes from under the door is definitely ruining your zen state. In 10 minutes we are going to stop it for good.
Grab two pairs of knee-high socks that you do not use anymore, some dry rice (it can be replaced by dried beans or packing peanuts), and fabric of the socks that matches the color of your rug. However, you know what? Variety is the spice of life.
Fill one sock with rice. Be careful not to fill it too much because you need it to remain flat so that it can move easily against the bottom of the door. If you want to make it special, you can add some drops of lavender. In this case, your draft block will also have some aromatherapy in addition to being functional.
Cut off the second sock so that it would remain only with the top part of it. Fill it with rice and make a draft block with two layers of fabric. Sew the open ends of the fabric together or glue them with fabric glue if you are not into sewing.
So, now you have your draft block. Move it against the bottom of the door so that it completely covered the bottom of it. Now, you will not feel any cold air coming out of it. You will not feel shivers when passing through the door towards the sleeping baby at night. And, of course, it definitely looks better than a rolled-up towel.
The biggest advantage of such a draft block is that you can wash it. Now you made your house warmer and saved some money doing it yourself.
