I've scoured the net.. And there's just not too much about dryer lint out there. So I figured
who better to dedicate a page to lint.. Than me.
DRYER LINT
I actually have found a few (useful?) things that you can do with dryer lint. For instance...
Dryer Lint Clay 1 1/2 c Lint from the dryer 1 c Water 1/2 c Regular flour
2 drops Wintergreen mint flavouring (What the heck is this for.. To make it taste better?)
Old newspaper Paint Place the lint in a saucepan and cover it with the water. When the lint is saturated, add the flour and stir until it is smooth.
Add the drops of wintergreen oil flavouring. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it forms peaks and holds together. (Serve steaming hot to freinds and family.. Echhh.) Pour it onto newspaper to cool.
Shape and model figures, or cover a form with it, such as a balloon. Allow to dry for 3 to 5 days, then paint and decorate as required.
In the spring and summer, put dryer lint and bits of string on tree branches so that birds can use it to build nests.
Handy fire starter. Save lint out of lint filter in clothes dryer. Place lint under kindling and use as tinder.
Use it as padding when shipping small items through the mail.
Put it in the compost pile.. Or maybe you can use it as insulation. But I guess when all
else fails.. You can throw it away like everyone else.
TIP: Clean your lint trap often.. It saves energy, And you'll get more lint to have fun with!
