With the onset of cold weather in autumn or winter, unpleasant drafts can appear in the house. We offer you an idea of ​​how you can keep warm in your home and get rid of drafts. Since the most common sources of drafts are windows and doors, it is worth paying attention to them. We suggest you insulate them with a fabric roller, which you can buy or sew with your own hands. There are specially designed pieces, thanks to which all this will turn out not only reliably, but also beautifully. Draft toys are made specifically to cover gaps under doors and windows. They are not just long, but also strong (made of dense materials), heavy (often with sand inside) and stable. The easiest option is a bright roller.

What you will need:

For the heat-saving snake:

1 pair of striped girls tights
- Raw rice
-Needle and thread
-Glue
-Felt

-Scissors

For a heat-saving dog:
-1 pair of girl's tights
- Raw rice
-Needle and thread
-Glue
-Felt
- Eyes for homemade toys
-Scissors
- Paperclips
-Old belt or bracelet.

How to do it?

Heat Saving Snake
Step 1: Cut off one leg from a pair of striped girl's tights and fill it with rice (more than two kilograms). To make it easy to add rice, use a plastic cup with the bottom cut off as a funnel.

Step 2: Fold the open end of the leg inward to form a conical snake tail shape and sew the edges together.
Step 3: Glue on the eyes. Finally, sew on the tongue.

Heat-Saving Dog
Step 1: Cut off one leg from a pair of girl's tights and fill it with rice. Leave enough space to tie the open end into a tight knot.
Step 2: For the tail, apply glue to the felt triangle and stick it on the knot.

Step 3: Once you've glued the tail, secure it with paper clips until the glue dries.
Step 4: Glue on the eyes. Attach the soft ears to the head as shown in the picture and then sew them on. Thus, the line should be invisible.
Step 5: Do not forget about the collar: shorten the old belt to fit the size of the animal's neck, or use a strap bracelet.
