What can you make from dryer lint?

My mom used to save up all the lint and put it in a huge coffee tan outside for the birds. I never saw them come by and pick through it but after it was out there for a few days, it would be empty. Some people use it in their fire place to start a fire but I have no idea if there are fumes involved with it or if it is a safe thing to do.

well, i tell you what, i would love to see that! i have cats so i have alot of fuzz in my dryer along with the lint! mostly fuzz! :-D what an interesting idea... i've honestly never heard of this before.

I actually have seen this. I was watching "crafters across America" or something. And, one of the artists featured, this was her venue. However, I had never heard of it before that. It's really neat what people come up with.

I have never tried making any crafts with it. I do know that it is highly flammable though. Because of how flammable it is, never use it for craft projects like stuffed animals anything like that. When taking a camping trip it is handy to pack a small coffee can with dryer lint to help you get your camp fires going because it ignites so easily.

I've seen some really creative things made with dryer lint. The thing that comes to mind is a flower pot, covered with dryer lint and Elmer's glue (just enough to get it wet.) Then place glass marbles, rocks, or even broken china placed in the wet lint. Let it dry for at least 24-36 hours. It drys almost as hard as cement, and it's a really pretty mosaic pattern. Here is a link with other ideas for dryer lint! http://www.allfreecrafts.com/recycling-crafts/dryer-lint.shtml Happy crafting!!! :)

Wow! I haven't figured out how to craft with it, but I do use it in spring to protect my seedlings from frost.

Yes I actually have one on the wall also. It is a pink heart. we made them with the kids one time as a activity. Here is something else you can do: Stuff your dryer lint into an empty toilet-paper cardboard tube. Then melt leftover candle wax and pour it into both ends to make a log!

I am just amazed. That is a clever idea for recycling. Nothing needs to be wasted, eh? I would love to see a pic, if you ever can get one.

wow i have never heard of anyone making anything out of dryer lint before did your nephews wife make it piece of art herself or did she buy it already made i would like to learn how to make things out of dryer lint heaven knows i get enough of it out of the dryer after each load of laundry i hate to just throw it away knowing that i might be able to make something out of it it would definitely be a unique piece of art that i am sure not many people would have
