retesting

I rent. And right now I'm renting a drafty little house. The doors to two office rooms have wide gaps underneath them, up to 2 inches. I looked at a few options for stopping the draft - most didn't work beyond a 1 inch gap, some were too permanent for my renting self, and the best temporary solution - this draft stopper I came across on Cool Tools - would slip right through the huge gap under my doors. So I decided to make my own.

list of materials:
- 1/2 yard fabric
- thread
- 1" copper pipe insulation foam (can use 3/4")
- exacto knife
- sewing machine
