I LOVE dryer sheets. I don't know why people throw them away. I make the coolest things with them. My husband and daughter know I will be upset if they throw even one away in the trash. We have a special box on top of the dryer where the used ones go.... When the box is full,... I pull them out and start playing...
Here is a necklace I made with some. I colored them with watered down acrylic paints. I love how vibrant the colors are, and it is very light and easy to wear. People are always amazed that it is made from dryer sheets... Sometimes I use Rit dye to color them, but I have found the paints work just as well and give you a lot more color options for a cheaper price. I am all about what looks good for cheap... Style on a shoestring is so in right now... And these bib statement necklaces are all the rage with fabric flowers. I love the light airy feel of the dryer sheets... If you don't like the smell of them, wash them all together in a load of whites with some bleach. It takes the scent out. I have put perfume oil on mine, and the scent lingers, so I don't need to wear perfume when I wear this necklace. It always smells like China Rain from my favorite store Body Time in Berkeley.
I would love to hear about what you like to make with them... Please comment with a link to your blog with photos of your own dryer sheet creations.
