Quick Fixes for Cold Drafts: Keep Your Home Cozy Before the Handyman Arrives

3. Make a DIY Draft Snake

Turn old clothes into a no-sew draft snake. Cut fabric to the door’s length (about 36 inches). Fill it with rice, sand, or crumpled newspaper, then tie the ends. Place it at the door base for a reusable, eco-friendly barrier.

4. Use Pool Noodles or Pipe Insulation

Cut a pool noodle or pipe insulation to the door’s width, slice it lengthwise, and slide it under the door. It blocks drafts while letting the door open and close easily.

5. Apply Temporary Weatherstripping

Foam tape or self-adhesive weatherstripping seals gaps quickly. Clean the door surface first, then press the tape along the bottom and sides. This temporary fix reduces drafts until permanent solutions are possible.
