Dryer lint

Post: # 100301Post mrsflibble »

is there anything i can do with it? Like make something out of it? advice from my mumwas leave it out as nesting material but the birds don't want it and it's now just wet, purple clumps all over my garden.

anything? is it "feltable"?!

Can't say I've used it for anything as of yet but google had a few suggestions.
