CUTE Window Draft Blockers

I noticed that my living room windows seemed to be a bit drafty since we've had about a foot of snow on the ground since Christmas AND temperatures below 10 degrees! Brrrrr!

I didn't want to purchase pre-made draft blockers, because of money and because the one I currently have isn't heavy enough to stay near the door & it doesn't really do it's job.

After calling my sister to ask if I could borrow her sewing machine, she suggested that I buy some fun, patterned tights that I could make the draft blockers WITHOUT sewing!

I went to my favorite Marshalls and after finding many pairs of designer tights, I chose these tights because they would match the colors in my living room & they were on clearance for $5 a pair. My next stop was Deal$ where I found 5 pound bags of rice for just $3. I didn't know how much rice I would need, but I bought 4 bags, hoping to be able to make 6 draft blockers.

When I got home, I cut the legs of the tights, as high as I could cut them. I then filled the legs with rice (each leg took an entire 5 pounds of rice) and then knotted them to close them.

They are really cute & already seem to be blocking the cold from coming inside!
