If you don’t have the time to buy or can’t find a hard or soft cover, don’t worry! You can make a DIY cover!
The easiest method requires only three materials: plastic bags, old t-shirts or rags, and packing or duct tape.
1. Unscrew any hoses or connections from your outdoor faucet.
2. Wrap the faucet with several layers of rags or t-shirts, making it as snug as possible.
3. Cover the fabric insulation with one or two plastic bags.
4. Secure the bags with the tape by wrapping them several times around.
Remember to drip your indoor faucets and leave your cabinet doors open in the kitchen and bathroom. Running water will prevent pipes from completely freezing. Leaving the doors cracked will allow warm air to reach your interior pipes and will prevent freezing.
