Default Dryer Lint - Its Many Uses

As I cleaned out my dryer lint trap today and tossed the fluffy mass unceremoniously into the garbage, I wondered if there was something that could be done with the stuff. I did some research on the internet and found some incredibly fun ways to use dryer lint rather than toss it. With the holidays coming up, those of you with children might be able to do a special eco-friendly craft or two!

Nesting Materials for Birds
Grab that lint and place it around the areas you see birds in your yard. You can even put some in the trees. The birds will love you for it!You can find the entire article here http://aboutmyplanet.com/daily-green-tips/dryer

You can also use dryer lint for fire starters. We did this in my girl scout troop.

OMG. Pillow stuffing. Who would have thought?! And the lint clay stuff is an awesome idea!! I've got kids and both of these ideas would be very handy.

I do enough laundry that there is a TON of lint at my place. THANKS!
