Scraps of worthless junk = GENIUS!

Hi all!

Today i was doing laundry, i cleaned the lint trap of the dryer and as I grabbed a handful a Pinterest “Recipe” came flooding back and I said to myself why throw this away when it’s useful.

You see we have a fire pit and even though my husband is a skilled woodworker we sometimes scramble for fire starting materials.

That’s why this Pinterest recipe caught my attention……we through every bit of this recipe away in either the garbage or recycling every week!

So here’s how you do it.

Collect dryer lint enough to fill the wells of a CARDBOARD egg carton. Then take those wax pieces of candle you have been stashing for who knows how long…..i has a jar candle that would no longer stay lit but had a ton of wax left in it. I turned on my candle warmer on (you can melt wax in a pot of boiling water on the stove inside the jar too.). Then you pour the wax over the dryer lint. When it’s dry break it apart and store in a ziplock bag.

When you light it light the cardboard and the wax with the lint will help it burn longer!

Here are a few shots of my progress!
