I decided we needed something a little heavier duty than my oven draft solution for the front door. I’m pleased with the end result.

How to Make a Denim Door Draft Blocker

Stitch the legs of one pair of old jeans together and stuffed loosely with other cast-off clothing. You can use stuffing, too, of course, but old clothes or rags are a more frugal solution. Fabric is also a little heavier than stuffing, so the door draft blocker stays in place better, too.

I used my sewing machine to stitch the ends shut, but you could do this by hand. It just takes a little longer…

And that’s all you have to do!

It keeps the cold air out, stays in place, and doesn’t show dirt.
