How To Make A Draught Excluder: DIY Sewing Project Using Your Stash

[@pamfrank3962]

Thank you for sharing this wonderful tutorial

[@nickytetlaw2298]

Thanks this is just what I was looking for! My husband has been getting medication wrapped in Woolcool. I’ve made a tailor’s ham and sausage stuffed with it, which works really well! My daughter wants me to teach her how to make a draft excluder, so I can use your tutorial instead 😂

[@patriciaitalia]

With an extra pair of volunteer hands, this should be a breeze! Thanks for the idea. As always, you make it look possible and worth a try. Thanks again.

[@TheCraftsChannel]

Yes, it's really not as difficult as I make it look! I was trying to do it elegantly while being filmed 😄 c x

[@heathercurrie6454]

Thank you so much. What a fantastic idea!

[@charityrochford2175]

What a fun and useful project! A scrap buster and use of an old towel, too. Love it!

Great idea - just what I need to use up the insulating wool that I can’t bear to get rid of. Thank you.

If I told you how many times I’ve thrown that stuff out after getting a grocery delivery during the summer. This is absolutely genius!

[@TheCraftsChannel]

Hahaha, it was destined for the bin but I tohught there must be a use for it. Just be warned, keep it somewhere that the moths can't get to it! c x

[@susanshaffer7473]

I had my doubts that you get that wool to fit in that sausage skin, but what a great idea to fold it in half! I definitely need to make one of these!

[@TheCraftsChannel]

Hahaha. I had my doubts too. Always like to have an air of jeopardy in my demos 🤣c x

[@janetwest8379]

Thank you for the very detailed instructions. A tip I would like to pass along, when tying without the need to hold the thread tight you loop twice around pull and It stays in place. Hope this helps.

[@TheCraftsChannel]

Yes, I always do this for pompoms. Should have remembered to do it when I filmed this! c x

[@janecraftswhen...8115]

This was so useful to me

[@karentoynton8948]

Great idea have the very thing you have used and didn’t know what I could use it for, so perfect idea. Will definitely give this one a try. Thank you for that.

[@TheCraftsChannel]

Got any other ideas for what I can do with the other half a dozen rolls I've retrieved from the office skip? 😆😆 c x

[@karentoynton8948]

@@TheCraftsChannel hehe. Not really, I was given the ones I have as the person keeps getting them and felt to good to throw away,, so I was so pleased to see what you had done with yours. I hadn’t seen them before. Maybe do a draft excluder for folk you know, maybe boring but at least it gets them out the way, and people in these times maybe very grateful. Try it with scrap materials. I think that’s what I will do with mine. It will at least cover most peoples colour choice, with no dominant colour. If you find any thing let me know hehe. I will do the same.👍

@@karentoynton8948 they do work well as draught excluders, my boyfriend is benefitting from the two in the demo! Keep meaning to put them altogether and just make a dog bed from them but I doubt they'll wash well... c x

[@TheCraftsChannel]

@@karentoynton8948 oh, and I did use some of one to make new padding for a small ironing board! c x

[@karentoynton8948]

@@TheCraftsChannel sounds good at least it would be well padded. Great idea, we must keep thinking hehex

[@annblachly8068]

I second looping the yarn twice before tightening. We have bugs that invade the house year-round so I will just hand-sew the ends shut flat to not provide any hiding folds.

[@TheCraftsChannel]

Yes, I don't know why I didn't wrap it twice. Would have made life soooo much easier! c x
