I actually stumbled upon this little gem of a steal on Pinterest. I love dryer sheets!  Some may say I am obsessed.  But I really love everything about them. The smell makes me feel warm, new and clean. I use dryer sheets when storing clothes between seasons and as air fresheners in my drawers, gym bag, shoes, hats, bottom of my garbage can and car. I use them for pesky hair flyaways, scrubbing pots, repelling bugs and cleaning my clothes iron. I even use the old ones to dust my house and the cobwebs of my life. My affinity for dryer sheets knows no bounds. Those little scrappy pieces of poly complete my life. I want a bed made of dryer sheets.   I fully realize I could be on that show My Strange Addiction. I don’t care who knows it; I want to shout my love for dryer sheets from the rooftops. My qualm is that they lose their scent pretty quickly once the box is open, not to mention they are expensive as all heck, and I want more scent variety.  They should make chocolate-scented ones, or maybe wine, so when I show up at work smelling of wine, I can blame my dryer sheets.

Literally 10 minutes of sipping wine with some light steps and waiting to follow, and you will have your own, fresh, one-of-a-kind dryer sheets for all your neurotic uses.

Supplies:
Liquid fabric softener
Fabric
Scissors
Sealed container
Scented oil or perfume

Steps:
Cut squares of fabric, or use whatever scrap material or cloth you want. Make sure they are clean and roughly the same size.
Put all the squares into a bowl and pour in fabric softener. You know what fabric softener is – that bottle thing we all want to buy, but don’t buy because we have no idea what it actually does. Let the material soak until the liquid is absorbed.
Now, dry the squares completely. Preferably, let them hang dry outside. Store them in a sealed container of any sort. That is, IT!

You will be able to use each dryer sheet 30-40 times before they lose their scent and static magic.  You can even add essential oils or perfumes to the fabric softener during Step 2.  This hack is legit amazing and is such a lifelong adult steal. Your style has never felt and smelt so good.
