Hello, friends! It's frosty and windy outside, and even plastic windows and insulated doors have difficulty keeping out drafts. And now the problem of maintaining heat in the house and protecting from drafts is becoming more pressing than ever.
An article about how to reduce electricity bills mentioned a method such as additional insulation of windows and doors.
Do you know how you can decorate your home, make it warmer and not spend anything?
Today we will talk exactly about this.
Cute anti-draft pillows with your own hands, patterns
The time of cold weather is coming, and this means that there will be constant drafts in the apartment, regardless of whether you have plastic windows or not. You can, of course, throw an old blanket or special insulation from the store under the door, but it’s much more beautiful to make toys like these, because they will not only save you from a draft, but will also add creativity and comfort to the interior of your home. And children will simply be delighted with such pillows!
You can take patterns from any toy and simply make the body of the toy in the shape of a bolster, so you will get a fairly long pillow.

Measure it seven times!
To create double insulation under the door, you need to take canvas fabric and iron it thoroughly. It is important to measure the thickness of the door in order to make the insulation according to the appropriate measurements.
The width of the door is also measured. In our case, it is 72 cm. The fabric is cut out. The length of the piece should be 70 cm (72-2), and the width 35 cm. Separately, you will need two pieces of fabric measuring 20x5 cm.
A piece of fabric is folded in half with the wrong side out. It is important that the edges of the halves completely match. The fabric is cleaved along the edge with tailor's pins and sewn on a machine, departing 1-1.5 cm from the edge. The ends are not sewn.

How to sew a pillow?
If you have never tried to make a draft pillow toy with your own hands before, start with simpler options.
To sew such a pillow, a special pattern is not required. You can take the pattern of any toy as a basis, and make the body (or legs) longer, in the shape of a roller, adding the centimeters you need (as a rule, the final length is determined by the width of your window or door - it depends on where you are going to put the toy).
We suggest you sew a dachshund dog using this pattern.
Don't forget to enlarge the pattern to your desired size before printing!
This is perhaps the easiest option for creating a textile toy, which even a beginner can handle.
And a toy, and a candy, and a little animal
The idea of creating a special pillow against drafts in itself is very interesting. And if you decorate such a pillow in a non-standard way, for example, as a toy or “candy,” then it has every chance of becoming not only a very useful thing, but also an excellent interior decoration.
All you need to do is turn part of a simple design - a roller - into a face and add a few touches (eyes, tongue, etc.) - and here you have a funny little animal. Place such a pillow on the windowsill - a cute textile cat (or even two) will be especially relevant here, because we all know how charming pets love to sit and lie on the window. And a funny dachshund will come in handy near the door (balcony or in front of the exit to the vestibule) - this is a real guard and protector of the hearth!
Pillows made from shreds look very elegant. In the patchwork style (and not only!), you can also create a knitted roller toy.

How to get rid of drafts?
There are many options. One of them is to go to the store and buy special insulation for windows and doors.
You can, of course, solve the problem easier and use the proven method of our grandmothers: put a roller twisted from an old towel or some small blanket on the windowsill or under the door.
But, you must admit, it doesn’t look very good.
There is a much more creative way - this is a special decorative insulation against drafts under the door or on the windowsill, which you can buy or make with your own hands from scrap materials, saving a lot of money.
