I'm always looking for ways to keep toxins out of my home
and these felted dryer balls were one way
of throwing out those dryer sheets.....
The benefits:
. they are 100% natural (no dryer sheets, no chemicals)
. they shorten dryer time ( saves energy and $$$$)
. they bounce around the dryer reducing static
. they last for many years ( saving you $$$$)
Supplies you will need:
100% wool yarn
Simple eh!!!
Just wind a ball the size of a tennis ball
then throw them in a pillow case (make sure you knot it)
then pop them into your
washer on the highest temp......
What you are doing is felting......
when they come out of the washer
they are very thick....
Now hey are ready to use.
I add essential oil to them
a couple of drops
is all you will need.
I use doTerra Essential Oils...
I used one drop of wild orange and
grapefruit....
Three to four balls is all you will need
in the dryer with your clothes.....
The scent lasts for many loads of laundry
When the scent starts to fade..
it's time to add another couple of drops....
Your clothes come out smelling
fresh and clean
without the toxins...
DO YOU KNOW THE BENEFITS OF
ESSENTIAL OILS...
I purchase mine here

Enjoy!

How interesting. I may need to give this a try!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this before. Good to know. I bet that really is a money saver too.
ReplyDeleteNeat idea for making your own dryer balls. I did use those hard ones but what a noise they make tossing around in the dryer. I've seen these wool dryer balls for sale at craft shows and always thought I could make them myself. Now I'm using the dryer most of the time I just might give it a go.
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered how to make these! I think I have some wool in my stash and will be trying it! Thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I love the new header pictures!
A very neat idea!!! Thank you so much for sharing.
