Stuff to do with old pantyhose

by Jen

Yesterday I talked about putting dried, used coffee grounds in old pantyhose to make odor-absorbing sachets. Guess what else old pantyhose are good for?

• Tying plants (like tomato vines) to sticks
• Use as hanging storage for onions. Tie knots between each onion, and you can just snip at the bottom knot to get one out.
• The other day I said you could line plant potters with coffee filters to keep water and soil inside. Pantyhose also work.
• Make catnip toys for cats – just tie some up in the toe of a knee-high.
• Make sachets with baking soda – just put some in, tie two knots, put more in, tie two knots again…. snip between the knots and you’ve got sachets.
• Put plastic grocery bags in them, hang it somewhere, cut a hole in the bottom (if the hole tends to spread, coat the edges with nail polish to stop it) and pull out plastic bags as needed.
• Put soap in the toes and tie the ends shut. Now you have a soap-on-a-rope/scrubbie for when you shower.
• Use them to make stuffing homemade toys easier.
