I got sick of purchasing the little containers of Damp Rid at walmart for $3 a pop so I decided I was going to make my own. The active ingredient in those things is Calcium Chloride which is an anhydrous salt which means it will absorb water to the point where it creates a super saturated solution.
What does that mean to us? It makes a great desiccant!

Container I used. It's pretty much a small steamer basket from a Healthy Steamer TV dinner that fits perfectly inside a larger container I had around the house.
Perfect fit
Pour in the Calcium Chloride.
I put a piece on napkin on top to help prevent spills
Cut some slots in the lid and snap it on
