No Sew Draft Snake

Instead of letting the air blow in through the base of drafty doors, why not block your doors so the air can’t enter? this draft snake is the perfect solution.

To make this draft stopper you just simply fill a knee length sock with rice and then twist the ends into a knot. Not just easy to make but this draft blocker will save you money too if you need several for your doors and windows.

2. Keep your feet warm with felted sweater slippers

Felted Sweater Slippers

Sometimes our socks can’t give us the warmth that our legs need, so the best way to keep your feet warm in the winter is with felted sweater slippers.

All you need to do is to cut out the shape of your foot pattern you already made on paper or use the insole as a guide if you have one, pin the soles with the sweater, stitch them together and you’re ready to go!

You can also make the non-slip version with some puff paint on the soles.

3. Keep your side mirrors car from freezing

When you go into your car and are just ready to start it when suddenly you take a look at your rear-view side mirror and find it freeze and fog and then you need to clean them thoroughly. And it must be tiresome to keep doing it almost every day!

Well, the easiest way to prevent your side mirrors from freezing overnight is by covering them up! You can use a ziplock bag or a plastic shopping bag after putting the plastic tie the end and your mirrors will remain ice-free overnight!
