In reply for a draft stopper, I have also been wanting to make some as I have some doors that let in drafts. I am thinking of useing some tubing that my husband uses to cover the pipes outside the house during winter so the water won't freeze . They look like the same size around as the draft stopper. It sells by the foot and is real cheap. It is black in color and looks like the foam material that is used under the flooring people put in their homes. It is thicker though as it goes around pipes. I just went and asked my husband and he said it is called pipe insulation. Estella
