Do-It-Yourself: Make Your Own Dryer Sheets

May 2, 2012 by Lisa Park + 1 Comment

dryer sheets

I’m always looking for ways to save money, and my sister-in-law told me about making your own dryer sheets, so I looked it up. It’s so easy to do, and it saves money in the long run.

What you need:
Liquid fabric softener
Old hand towels or face cloths

1. Soak an old towel or face cloth in liquid fabric softener or you could pour 1 cup of liquid fabric softener on the towel.
2. Let it dry.
3. Toss it in the dryer with your clothes. You can use it about 12 times before you need to re-soak it.

It’s recommended to have at least three of these homemade dryer sheets on hand so you don’t have to search through your dry clothes to find it for your next dryer load.

Thanks, Fake It Frugal.

Here is one tip to budget for Christmas. Give chil Here is one tip to budget for Christmas. Give children gifts based on age. Because older children tend to want more expensive gifts than the younger siblings, try this budgeting method to determine how much to spend on each child.  First: Add together the ages of your kids.  Johnny, 5; Sally, 7; Joe, 12 = 24  Second: Divide the Christmas budget total for the kids by the sum of their ages. Let's say the Christmas budget is $500.  $500/24 = $20.83  I rounded it to $21 to make it easier to calculate   Third:Take the number from above and multiply each child's age.  $21 x 5 = $105
$21 x 7 = $147
$21 x 12 = $252  You would spend the amount of money above on each child for Christmas. What tips do you have to budget for Christmas? #christmasbudget #christmaspurchases #christmasspending
