The popularity of this wardrobe item has grown more and more every year. There was a fashion for short skirts and dresses, and with them the market was flooded with "kapronki". This product is now generally available, available in a variety of colors and shades, with a wide variety of textures and weaves.

So, dear women of fashion, do not rush to throw away your torn stockings. You can make a lot of useful, interesting things from old tights with your own hands. They can be used in the garden, in the kitchen, in the nursery and even in the home first aid kit. If they are torn quite a bit, you can simply wear them under jeans.

Old nylon tights can not be thrown away. They make beautiful rugs, pots and even dolls.

Nylon tights are a must-have for a modern woman. They are comfortable, pleasant to the body and sometimes madly beautiful. But tights have one huge drawback: no matter how high-quality and expensive they are, sooner or later they will still break. By the way, sometimes it happens in the most inappropriate place at the most unfortunate time. Frustration and only - an expensive and loved thing should be thrown away ...

  2. As a cover, not a broom so that it does not sprinkle with straw

  6. For painting surfaces. If the paint in the can is taken up in lumps, or rubbish has got into it, it can be saved. All this heterogeneity will remain inside if you put on nylon tights on the neck of the can. They will let paint through, but not rubbish. Also, coloring can be done by the tights themselves, then the texture at the surface will turn out to be very interesting
  7. Make a sieve. Through it you can sift flour, drain pasta, squeeze cottage cheese. Tights are even used to brew tea so that tea leaves do not end up in portioned cups. You can also filter a solution of whitewash chalk, wallpaper glue, etc. through a sieve made of tights.
  8. Tie up tomatoes. Summer residents have long got used to using tights in such an unusual way. They are cut into strips, which later play the role of strong and elastic ropes.
  9. Like patches on mosquito nets, or even instead of mosquito nets
  10. Like chopiki. If the socket for the screw needs to be strengthened, the chop is not at hand, you can insert a nylon flap into the hole made in the surface and melt it. The screw will hold perfectly

  • the seam is not damaged
