Maybe I am really odd, but I have always thought there must be something to do with all that dryer lint. I have put it outside for the birds a couple of times but it rarely was touched by any of the birdies near our house. Then I stumbled across this idea on pinterest. What I love about it is it's completely recycled, completely free and super easy.
Step 1 - gather supplies. I have a bin full of dryer sheets and lint in my laundry room. I rounded up some toilet paper tubes and a newspaper magazine I picked up off my driveway.
Step 2 - stuff dryer lint into tube leaving about 1/2 an inch on either side to tuck the newspaper in. (I used approximately one loads worth of lint per tube, so you might need to stock pile a bit.)
Step 3 - Roll. My newspaper pieces were squares and that worked great. I rolled them on the diagonal and folded the far corner in so that when I tucked the ends into the tube there wasn't a pesky corner sticking out.
2nd reason I love this idea so much.... My dad made me an amazing fire pit, and this is the perfect and easiest way to light it even if my wood is a little damp. Now im not sure if the fire offsets how environmentally friendly this project is ....but I'm going to pretend I am being super green,
All set for chilly nights and ready for Marshmellows!
