I made 6 of these Firestarter log's in about 10 minutes. They look like Christmas Crackers!
To Start: you need some empty Toilet Paper Rolls, Some Tissue paper (or News print), Some string or Jute Twine, and of course the laundry lint. Great opportunity to clean the lint trap of your dryer!!!
Cut the tissue paper or news print about 2 inches larger on each side of the TP roll
Stuff the TP Roll with the dryer lint.
Roll up the stuffed TP roll in the paper
Tie the ends of with string
There you are done making a Firestarter log. Just place under the kindling and light! Should stay lit long enough to start a Beautiful Fire. Just remember to extinguish on Christmas Eve - You don't want to burn Santa's Butt!

A great idea for my fireplace owning friends. They are expensive to buy. I love this.

That is a FANTASTIC idea!!!!! Thanks for linking it up!!!
I have seen just putting the lint into toilet paper tubes, but wrapping it up like a Christmas cracker is just too festive and fantastic. I wish I had enough dryer lint, :D
