Place the dryer lint and water in a large pot.
Mix until the lint is completely moistened.
Add the flour and oil and stir to prevent lumps.
Cook over low heat stirring constantly until the mixture forms peaks.
Deposit the mixture onto several layers of newspaper to cool.
Use like paper maché to cover objects or for modeling.
