Take an old pair of stockings, and cut the legs off. Place each ball in the stockings, and tie knots between each ball.

Wash the dryer balls in the stockings on the hottest cycle without detergent five times. Tip: Put them in with a load of towels to help them stick together. After washing, cut the knots, remove the stockings and they're ready for use.
