Grab a large plastic food bag or freezer plastic bag and make medium holes all over it, using a hole-puncher. 20 to 25 holes are sufficient, keeping equal space in between.
Pick a large sponge and soak into a bowl of tape water until it absorbs enough water.
Remove the sponge from water and wring it to remove excess water and to just keep it lightly moist.
Now put this wet sponge inside the plastic and place in the desired area of your house to enjoy humidity.
