Today’s tip comes from my reader Lyndsey who tells us how to make your own dryer balls….
Dryer balls bounce around inside the dryer and move your laundry around so that more air can circulate around the clothes, which makes them dry faster. Faster drying means less waiting around in your underwear for those pants to dry, and of course less money you have to shell out to the energy company. Some dryer balls also make your clothes smell nice. If you wanted you could add a drop or two of essential oil to one of the middle layers of the ball (while you’re still making it) and the scent would release over time. Dryer balls are also supposed to make your clothes softer. I have noticed my husband’s t-shirts are much softer, and all my laundry is definitely fluffier!
So I decided to make socks into dryer bars. Go here to read how I did it.

Thank you for posting! This is a great DIY, I’ve been wanting dryer balls and they are so pricey. I’ll add some YL Lavender and maybe purification to the layers too!
