Blah to TADA! Challenge: Dryer Lint

Thanks for stopping by today!

It's been a while and I think I'm ready for a new challenge.

Rane wrote me a few months back:

Hi ya Claire!! I have a true challenge for you! What can you do with dryer lint? Every week I throw this away and always wonder could it be used for something?

I hear ya Rane!

So this week, let's make a detour to the laundry room

en route to the craft room.

Like most of you, I throw away lint from the dryer.

I only recently started keeping it in this bag.

I must admit, lint isn't very attractive.

But it reminds me of fiber fill.

I got myself a few fabric scraps:

I cut them into circles.

Then sewed a running stitch around.

I pulled the thread slightly so the fabric bunched up.

Then stuffed it with dryer lint!

Pulled the thread all the way to

seal the edge & then knotted the thread.

Here's the result:

TADA! I made little fabric balls

out of dryer lint & scrap fabric.

Then I attached them on the head of

these tacks with hot glue:

Note: The tacks get hot when hot glue is applied -- this

may burn your fingers. To avoid this, pin the tacks to a cork board,

add a bead of hot glue, then add the fabric ball.

Allow to dry and pull away any excess glue.

Another TADA! -- push pins!

These will dress up any cork board at home,

in school or at the office.

See you again tomorrow!
