It’s not really the season, but you probably have tights lying around somewhere in your closet and which you are not sure to wear when the cold definitely returns, because they are not of the first youth (holes here and there, distended elastic…). Yarn tights happen all the time after all! Before stocking up on brand new tights, sort them out and reuse your old ones wisely! We gave you 19 ingenious ideas that went in this direction. And here are other ideas to recycle your old tights.
1) Refresh old shoes by rubbing them with pantyhose.
This will remove the dirt and ugly marks that make them look ugly. This little tip will perhaps save this pair which has several years of tireless wear under its belt and which brings back so many good memories!
2) Cut part of the leg of a pantyhose to gently exfoliate your skin.
You can soak it in your cleanser to clean and exfoliate your skin. At least with this tip you won’t need to buy an exfoliant or waste cooking sugar: the sticky one is enough!
3) Fill your old tights with potpourri and put it in a drawer or in your closet so it smells good.
You can make potpourri yourself with petals, pine cones, cinnamon sticks…
4) To avoid the risk of snags after working and sanding wood, do the sticky test!
Cover your hand with it and rub the wooded surface. If it catches, there is a risk of a splinter and it is therefore better to resolve the problem before using the furniture or board in question.
5) For padding in decorative creations, you can use old tights!
From a little teddy bear to a cute cushion and even a dog toy, tights have their place in your creative projects.
