Dryer lint is super flammable stuff, so use it to make your own fire starters. Just tuck a bunch inside a toilet paper roll, wrap the whole thing in newspaper, tuck in the ends, and you're good to go.

You can also make longer-burning fire starters by following a few simple steps. You'll just need to gather cardboard egg cartons and candle wax in addition to the dryer lint. It's an easy project that takes just 15 minutes.
