a recycled material duct taped draft without sewing.
Because of my later on driveable maded home, i had some nasty draft from no longer good closed doors. My doors became to short after they had taken away my sills;-S
I'm always works on the floor, i like that, there is more space and all the things that fallen down out of my hands falling just next to me.
Really smart huh?!!!LOL
But there was many draught and it was to cold. So i tought why not making of all the package of the litter they are really strong and has a beautifull bright colour a draft with zipper without sewing and of course using my stapler and duct tape.;-D

I had chosen for plastic, because they lay on the ground and sometimes the floor is wet so fabric wasn't a swell idea.;-)
And of course you can pick your own choise of materials, i think i\ve you have mexican oilcloth its swelll tooo. only i hadn't that material.LOL

Of course you can fit the measures of this project on your own home door measures.;-D You only have to chance the large of the filler piece.

I hope you like it and have fun with the making of.;-D
