What do you do with your dryer lint? Do you just throw in in the trash? Here are some ideas to give your dryer lint a second life that Barbara Gibson of bellaonline gathered:

Mulch.
For crafts.
As material for your guinea pigs nesting box.
Scatter it around trees for birds to use to make nests.

Better yet, hang your clothes out to dry! No dryer lint quandaries, you'll save money and and reduce your carbon emissions. And the best part, no dryer lint crafts to deal with.

IT IS ALSO A GREAT FIRE STARTER TO KEEP IN YOUR BACK PACK, FOR CAMPING, EMERGENCIES! LIGHT WEIGHT AND COMPACT.

FINE STEEL WOOL WORKS WELL AS A FIRE STARTER WHEN USED WITH A MAGNESIUM FIRE STARTER.
