  1. I love it…I’ve been too lazy all winter to sew a draft dodger, but this is the perfect solution, I can reuse some old hose with runs and make something that is quick, easy and practical. I plan on trying it out tonight!

    If you want to make yours cuter, stick some googly eyes, ears, and make little legs and arms. It could be a sausage dog!! 😀

  3. this is a great idea…im hopping it will work on all of my doors and windows this winter! =)

    OMG GREAT IDEA! Why didn’t i think of this?

  5. I have made one of these before, only it was made of fleece fabric rolled up and tied with ribbons. I am sure this way will work, too! Great idea, and good use of tights!

  6. Interesting concept.

  7. This is a really practical idea. You could use funky colored tights as well.
