Uses for Old Stockings and Hosiery

[Joie DeVive]

WOW! Stockings are just as, if not more so, versatile than the magical duct tape! Who knew?!

Probably our mothers/grandmothers/great-grandmothers!!

But not me!! lol

My mum always tied one leg of old pantyhose to cover the end of the tube from the washing machine where all the dirty water gets pumped out into the drain...

I think I'll try that, thanks!

Another use: cut off both legs of a pair of pantyhose, cut straight across the toes and roll them up into a hair donut, one after the other. Tie your hair into a ponytail, slip the hair donut over it, pin your hair over and around the donut and hey presto, you've got a chignon!

I also reuse panty hose that's only broken in one leg by making "franken-hose": I cut off the broken leg and pair the other one up with a second pair of tights that has received the same treatment. You end up with two panty-sections which is not very glamorous but hey, who's to know?
