You can warm them in a microwave and use them as hand warmers. If you use hot glue, be careful not to warm it too much as the glue loosen. If this accidentally happens, just let it harden again and it'll be fine.

What is the best door draft stopper?

My daughter's leggings had a hole in one knee so I'll be recycling the good leg into 1 door draft stopper. If you have a good set of leggings, you could make 2 door draft stoppers.

My daughter’s leggings had a hole in one knee so I’ll be recycling the good leg into 1 door draft stopper.  If you have a good set of leggings, you could make 2 door draft stoppers.

First you'll cut the top part of the leggings off as you'll only need the legs. Next you'll close one end of the tights by either sewing or using a rubber band, hot glue, ribbon etc. Next you'll fill it with rice, beans, sand, of your choice and then close the other end. If you live in a damp climate you can opt to put your rice/beans/sand inside a plastic bag first before going inside the legging.

    Great ideas Chas. I love the cover-up! We keep our house cool so an extra cover-up is always handy to have around. 🙂

      Thank you Linda! I originally made them with Halloween blankets I found on clearance for $1 and gave them to the kids for Halloween. We have used them so much so I thought I should share with everyone!
