Even though laundry is hardly the most glamorous of activities, these DIY dryer sheets at least make it a little more fun. From the Free People blog, the natural DIY project is ideal for crafty types looking to move away from the harsh chemicals found in many comercially available laundry products.
The reusable DIY dryer sheets are made using only a few ingredients, such as a large mason jar, 100% cotton fabric, white vinegar and your favorite essential oil. Free People blogger Julie suggests combinations like lavender and lemon, sandalwood and bergamot, patchouli and peppermint or lemongrass and geranium.
She also explains how to make felted wool laundry balls out of only wool yarn and an old pair of pantyhose. You can also add vinegar and essential oil to these if you wish.
