Step 1
These homemade dryer sheets are a budget idea and better for your dryer as well. Create you dryer sheet by finding a thin, new wash cloth or new piece of cloth that you will be only using for this DIY dryer sheet. You can make several, but we will make one together with this cloth.

Step 2
In a sprayer bottle, pour any amount of any brand liquid fabric softener. Make sure you shake the bottle or container well before putting it in the sprayer bottle.

Step 3
Spray the wash cloth or new cloth that you have selected with the liquid fabric softener. Do this over the sink so if any gets sprayed it will not go on the floor. This is slippery when it gets spilled on linoleum or vinyl flooring. I spray my cloth 20 times with the fine mist spray from the sprayer bottle. Your homemade fabric sheet is made and ready to be placed in the dryer with your clothes.

Step 4
Every time you use this cloth, spray lightly with the fabric softener from you sprayer bottle. Usually 10 sprays does it after the first 20 sprays. You will save money and protect your appliance too. Wash this cloth as you see it needs laundering in your washing machine. It will get stiff when it needs washing. Let it air dry so it will absorb the fabric softener when you use it again. Make as many of these as you wish, but don't use the cloth for anything else, so put it in your cabinet where you keep your laundry products. I have only one, but have made several for family members from cheap wash cloths from Wal-Mart.
