WOW! So, I have learned that my plan for making my own dryer sheets did not work out quite as well as I had hoped.....they got moldy. Very sad day! So, Plan B!
Make home made fabric softener, as mentioned in previous post. Put in a spray bottle (you can buy these for $1 or less at Wal-Mart or the Dollar Store). Keep dry rags in a container. When you are ready to put a load of laundry in the dryer, gently shake the spray bottle of fabric softener and spritz the rag before tossing in the dryer!
Hope this helps!

Home-Made Fabric Softener and Dryer Sheets
FABRIC SOFTENER
1 Gallon container
1 cup Baking Soda
6-8 cups Vinegar
Water
Essential Oil - Optional
I use an old 1 gallon Fabric Softener container (rinsed well)
Combine 1 Cup Baking Soda with Vinegar - carefully! I did this in a mixing bowl. I only added enough vinegar to make the baking soda mixture easy to pour into the 1 gallon container. Then I gradually added the remaining vinegar. I added about 10 drops of Clean Cotton Essential Oil. Then I filled the container the rest of the way with water.
I also took my husband's drill and drilled a few small holes in the lid of the container to prevent an explosion! Before each use you need to slightly shake/stir the mixture - which will re-mix the baking soda and vinegar and cause it overflow if not handled carefully.
DRYER SHEETS:
1 empty baby wipe box
while washcloths
Fabric Softener
I cut up some plain white washcloths from Wal-Mart into pieces that will easily fit into the baby wipe box. Then I pour fabric softener over the rags until they were wet through. I use one rag with each load of laundry put through the dryer.
