DIY Homemade Dryer Sheets

Here's my newest homemade, money saving project...drum roll please...homemade dryer sheets!

This is a pretty simple project as well and works like a charm!

Here's what you need:
Fabric Softener (for those of you who use homemade laundry detergent you probably have some of this lying around!)
A jar or container that has a lid that will seal (I recycled an old spaghetti sauce jar and it works great)
Some flanel or similarly textured material

Here's how you do it:

Cut your material into approximately 3x5 inch pieces (you can hem the edges or use pinking shears...I wanted to practice my sewing so I actually ventured a little from the directions and stitched two pieces together and that works great, and it's cute too!)

In your jar measure 4 parts fabric softener to 10 parts water. I just used a tablespoon and was able to use 10 tbs fabric softener to 25 tbs water.

Now you put your finished material squares down into the solution and place the lid on the container. Give it a little shake so the pieces are completely submerged and put on top of your dryer!

When you're ready to use them just take one out, ring out the excess liquid and place in the dryer! When the load is done simply put the sheet back into the container.

Refill with fabric softener and water as needed!

I would love to hear other DIY homemade, money saving ideas from you!
