I USE DRYER LINT TO MAKE ORNAMENTS OUT OF THE LINT. IN A BAGGIE PUT IN A HANDFUL OF LINT,THEN ADD SOME CRAFT GLUE AND CRAFT PAINT WORK IT TOGETHER AFTER IT IS MIXED WELL PRESS INTO A COOKIE CUTTER AT THIS POINT YOU CAN TAKE A NEEDLE AND YARN AND RUN THOUGH THE TOP OF THE COOKIE CUTTER DO NOT TIE ,LET LINT DRY FOR 24 HOURS SOMETIMES IT TAKES LONGER. AFTER IT IS DRY REMOVE FROM THE COOKIE CUTTER TIE THE YARN ( GLITTER CAN BE ADD TO LINT BEFORE IT DRIES , EVEN BEADS ) DONNA

I put my dryer lint on the ground around a tree, and on some branches for the birds to use for their nests. Also after I brush my cat, I leave the cat hair on the ground for the birds. It makes their nest warm and cozy for their babies. Carol

I had to change the picture. LOL I do have a dryer lint article floating around somewhere. I’ll post it when I come across it again.

Similar to what Grad Girl said…I saw the title of this post and I thought it was a list of uses for dryer lint. When I got to “Stretch Your Food” I was a little confused because I didn’t know lint was edible. After I read on, I felt better when I realized it was a list of frugal ideas…not all involving lint.

LOL. I had a pic of dryer lint, but it was pretty gross looking.
Yum fuzzy rice. Tastes bad, more filling. <— “cheap” joke.

I read the title and saw the picture and thought: What, we’re going to use dryer lint in food??

LOL.

Great tips!
