Dryer lint hack: Sewing projects
Do you have a sewing basket or button box? If you’re still fumbling with plastic containers or paper packets for your pins and needles, a dryer lint pincushion made with a single sock will organize your sewing mess fast.
And, of course, that’s just one way to use dryer lint in an affordable DIY. Rather than buying filling for sewing projects, dryer lint can be collected and used as an alternative stuffing material as well.
An important note from Crafty Captain about this dryer lint hack: Remember that dryer lint is highly flammable. So, only use it for projects that won’t be near flames.
Dryer lint hack: Oil spill absorber
Your shirt absorbs the spaghetti sauce and coffee you spill, right? Well, why can’t dryer lint do the same? Keep a bag of dryer lint in your workshop or garage, and use it the next time you knock over a bottle of glue or a can of oil.
There’s no sense in throwing away perfectly good rags! Oily rags are at the top of the list of things that shouldn’t end up in your dryer. And since dryer lint’s already trash, you can just toss it when you’re done.
Here’s how this dryer lint hack works: Simply cover the affected area with the dryer lint for about 24 hours if you have stubborn oil stains, and repeat for the desired results.

I found the lint hack very interesting. Now to start saving my lint
You are being very irresponsible by telling people to use the dryer lint in a pet cage. That can be very toxic to them as chemicals are used in the detergent and fabric softener used on clothes. They use shavings for a reason.
I want to know
He’ll no! Absolutely not.

When you clean the dryer vent after every load you will have small pieces. If you clean after 3 to 5 loads (Depending on your dryer) you will be able to remove it in sheets which most of these hacks would actually need in order to work properly.
Cleaning after each load is not necessary at all. There really isn’t enough on the screen to do anything but make a mess of the laundry area. That has been my experience, anyway.
I like the ideas. I thought about all that lint being used for something but, I never tried to come up with anything.
I liked your ideas for dryer lint but wondered if it is possible to use dryer lint to make paper. I knew recycled paper products can be used to make new paper but since lint is recycled fiber I wondered if it could be processed into paper.
Tried them ! Didn’t loose a single lb.! Rip off!!!!!!
you are a moron
