Actually, this is probably a pretty great fall football season recipe too.

First of all, you want to go clip a few types of evergreen and do a little experimenting.You want the one that loses its needles at the drop of a hat.

Completely opposite from what you want at Christmastime.You can guess how I found out which type of tree in our yard is right for this job.My house was a bit of a mess in December wherever I used this particular type of greenery.

It was worth it though!.I left these boughs upside down in the metal bucket for about a week to dry out inside..

When the week was up, I shook the boughs and most of the needles fell off right into the bucket.

Quite a few fell out onto the floor too, but I just swept them up and added them to my easter decor using a clear.I know I do, but this is the next best thing: Before you start your next load in the dryer, add in one fully dry towel to the load to help everything dry a bit faster!

You’ll of course save on energy costs in the process as well.It really works!

Bonus tip: If you’re having this problem consistently, make sure you check that your dryer vent hoses have been cleaned out recently.This should help the problem too.
