This DIY post we are making dryer balls out of socks! Why socks? We all know socks go in but sometimes they never come out. Instead of throwing those socks away, save them and you can make your own dryer balls and save money! What you'll need: socks your favorite essential oils Create: Begin by dropping 20 drops of the essential oil you chose on your first sock. Then roll the sock up starting at the toe end and going up toward the cuff. Now roll the cuff over onto itself tightly to form a ball. Place that sock on top of another sock. Add 20 more drops of your essential oil onto the second sock. Roll that one up with the first sock ball starting from toe to cuff. Tightly wrap the cuff over it to form your ball. Repeat this for 4-6 socks. When your scent starts to wear off you can add more essential oils by opening the cuff and dropping them into the center.
