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

Nylon tights are an indispensable element of the wardrobe of a modern woman. They are comfortable, pleasant to the body and sometimes crazy beautiful. But tights have one huge minus: 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 inopportune place at the most inopportune time. Disorder and only - an expensive and time to fall in love with a thing needs to be thrown away ...

If necessary? Craftsmen know how to give tights a second life by turning them into useful household items, exquisite interior decorations and even cute dolls.

How can you use old tights?

If the tights are torn, let the arrows go, they can be successfully used in the dacha and household in a variety of ways.

  1. As a cloth for wiping dust, shoes, removing animal hair from clothes. It is very good to clean glossy surfaces, glass, tiles with pantyhose
  2. Not a broom as a cover so that it does not pour straw
  3. Storage for onions and garlic
  4. Like a vacuum cleaner attachment. If some small and necessary thing is lost on the floor so that it is found, but it is not sucked into the vacuum cleaner, you can pull a piece of nylon fabric on it, which will act as a catcher
  5. Like tow for window insulation. Foam rubber, which is often used to plug gaps in windows that have not been replaced with metal-plastic ones, soon begins to rot or crumble. Rolled tights hold heat well, do not fade and can last for years.
  6. For painting surfaces. If the paint in the jar came in lumps, or rubbish got there, it can be saved. All this heterogeneity will remain inside if you put nylon tights on the neck of the jar. They will miss the paint, 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 for brewing tea so that the tea leaves do not fall into portioned cups. Through a sieve of pantyhose, you can also filter a solution of whitewash chalk, wallpaper paste, etc.
  8. Tie up the tomatoes. Summer residents have long been used to using tights in such an unusual way. They are cut into strips, which subsequently play the role of strong and elastic ropes.
  9. As patches for mosquito nets or instead of mosquito nets in general
  10. Like chops. 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 up perfectly
With old nylon tights, you can call up tomatoes.

VIDEO: There was a use for old tights! Cozy rug! Utilitarian needlework

In every house where women and children live, the accumulation of tights of various colors and textures is inevitable. After all, kids grow up, and the size of each element of their clothing becomes larger every time, and as for women's "caprons", here, probably, it's not worth talking about how easily "puffs" and "arrows" form on them. As a result, a situation arises when it is a pity to throw away a thing and it is impossible to wear it. Therefore, it becomes quite logical to ask what can be done from old tights?

Application in the manufacture of new clothes

Perhaps it’s worth starting with what can be done with old tights so that they continue to be an element of clothing. So, if we are talking about children's products in which the heels and toes are worn, then you can extend their life by replacing this part of them. To do this, use scissors to cut off the lower part of the product, and instead sew on ordinary socks, picking them up according to texture and color. Thanks to such a simple manipulation, you can not only get rid of holes, but also increase if you sew socks with a high calf.

It will be useful for needlewomen who are engaged in sewing to know what cuffs and collars for windbreakers, batch shirts and other items of clothing can be made from old tights. If we are talking about "caprons", then they are perfect for making mittens, which can be a great addition to many outfits. To do this, it is enough to cut off the lower and upper parts of the tights, and cut a hole in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe thumb. The most suitable are colored and openwork options.

Old tights in the kitchen: why are they needed?

Tights that are no longer suitable for making new items of clothing should also not be thrown away. After all, many irreplaceable items for the kitchen can be made from them. Old ones can make an excellent washcloth for washing dishes. To do this, they should be folded several times - depending on the desired thickness of the future washcloth - and fastened with a thread and a needle in several places for more convenient use.

Nylon tights are an excellent device for filtering various liquids. Of course, most housewives in the kitchen have special strainers, but larger particles that are unnecessary in the liquid can be retained so well only with the help of such a simple device.

In the kitchen, pantyhose, regardless of the material of manufacture, are also great for storing onions and garlic. You just need to cut them at the level of the thigh, wash, dry, fill with onions or garlic and hang on a hook. In this case, these vegetables, which are always necessary for the preparation of many dishes, will be at hand and, moreover, will be well preserved.

Useful crafts for home

Going outside the kitchen, you can also think of what you can do with old tights. So, they can become indispensable helpers when cleaning the house. There is no better material for wiping furniture than children's tights! But mirrors are best cleaned with nylon products. In addition, their composition allows you to polish shoes to a shine, and who doesn't like perfectly clean shoes or boots?

Starting a conversation about cleanliness and cleaning, it is worth mentioning another important role that nylon tights can play in the house - to save the owners of vacuum cleaners with reusable filters from the torment of cleaning them. To do this, you just need to cut off the tights in the area of ​​​​the thigh and the trace part, tie a knot on one side, and pull the other over the pipe and fix it there with an elastic band. After cleaning, tights can be thrown away with the garbage, so you don’t have to spend time cleaning the vacuum cleaner.

Methods of application in the country

The answer to the question of what can be made from old tights is also worth knowing for summer residents. "Kaprons" can be wrapped around the trunks of fruit trees in order to protect the latter from all kinds of rodents. It is important that the gap between the turns during spiral wrapping does not exceed 5 mm, then the trees in the garden will definitely survive. Particularly "lazy" gardeners have come up with another fairly successful way to use tights - planting potatoes in a stocking. To do this, the potatoes should be placed in a stocking and buried, leaving the end above the ground. Kapron will not interfere with its growth, but on the other hand, when harvesting, you will not need to plow the ground, but it will be enough to pull the stocking, slightly prying it with a shovel.

It is also convenient to use old nylon tights for tying up all kinds of crops - tomato, beans, etc. To do this, cut the tights into strips and apply as needed. The advantage of nylon ropes is that they do not stretch or rot, thanks to which they perfectly support the plant throughout its growth.

Knitting from old tights

Tights and stockings should also not be thrown away by needlewomen who are fascinated by knitting. Many useful and interesting things can be knitted from old tights. To do this, they must be cut into strips and fastened together. To fasten nylon strips, you can use a soldering iron, but natural materials will have to be sewn together or simply tied.

With the help of a hook, you can knit an excellent rug from old tights, which you can then lay in any place convenient for you. To do this, it is enough to have basic crochet skills. In the course of work, you can give the rug any desired shape.

Beads and brooches from nylon tights

No matter how strange it may sound, old ones are an excellent material for making jewelry that women love so much. So, for example, wonderful beads and brooches can be made from colored products. To make this unusual jewelry (except for the actual tights), you will need large beads and 10-15 cm of ribbon of the corresponding color. First, you need to cut a strip 30-35 cm long and 3-4 cm wide from the tights. Sew it in such a way that you get a cylinder, turn it on the front side and put 7-8 beads inside, after each of which tie a neat knot. Then sew a ribbon to both edges, and the new necklace is ready. In a similar way, you can make a two- or three-tier decoration.

From colored nylon tights and wire, you can make a magnificent brooch, for example, in the form of a flower. To do this, you need to take a wire about 20 cm long, wrap a strip of nylon on it and twist it into a hairpin - this will be the pistil of the future flower. Next, you need to bend the wire in the form of a petal and cover it with the same material. The number of petals will depend on the size of the brooch. At the final stage, all the elements of the flower must be twisted together and fastened with a clasp.

Toys

If you show a little imagination, you can get new and unusual toys from old tights. The easiest to make is a snake. You just need to cut off the femoral part of the tights and fill one stocking with some soft material, you can even use the same old tights, cut into small pieces. If the stocking greatly expands upwards, then it should first be sewn to the diameter of the lower leg, and preferably already, to make a tail. After filling, sew up the open edge. To get a more realistic toy, on one side of the resulting snake, you should make eyes using beads or small buttons, then sew on the tongue by cutting it out of any red material.

An octopus can also become an interesting toy for a baby. To make it, you will need 4 pairs of tights and a lot of soft material for filling. It is necessary to take one pantyhose, make 6 more holes in their femoral part. Then, alternately placing the remaining pairs of tights inside the first, pull out their stocking part through the cut holes. After that, you should fill all 8 “legs” and the “head” (the thigh part of the first tights) with soft material, sew up the top, preferably after cutting it in the form of a semicircle, glue the beads in the eye area. By the way, this soft toy can be made together with the child.

How to make a doll from old tights?

A doll from old tights can turn out to be no less original than the soft toys described above. First, it is necessary to cut off the footprint and the femoral part from the nylon tights, the narrower side of the resulting stocking should be sewn in the form of a semicircle from the wrong side, then fill the resulting bag with padding polyester, pull the upper part of it with a thread to get the head. To form the legs, use a thread and a needle to pull the bag in the lower part vertically to the beginning of the body.

Next, you need to sew two narrow and small bags from the same tights and fill them with padding polyester - these will be the handles that need to be sewn to the body. To make the pens look more realistic, you can use a thread and a needle to form fingers. It remains only to give the doll an image (embroider eyes, eyebrows, mouth with threads, and form hair from yarn or felt). And you can give it to a child.

Decorative crafts for home decoration

Crafts from old tights can have not only a practical purpose, such as toys or washcloths in the kitchen, but also a decorative one. So, from nylon tights you can make a magnificent bouquet of flowers to decorate the yard or living room.

The ideal material for this craft is colored "caprons", but bodily ones are also suitable. To get a brighter color, they can be painted with acrylic paints. You will also need a thin wire and green self-adhesive tape. First, you need to make a frame in the form of a petal from the wire, cover it with nylon. Then twist a few petals together and attach to the frame, wire wrapped with green self-adhesive tape. The leaves are made in the same way as the petals, only the frame is covered with green nylon. From such flowers, you can collect whole colored bouquets of a wide variety of shapes, and then decorate any room with them.

You can make nylon handles for working tools. In a clean tin jar, nylon trimmings are melted over low heat. While they are standing on the fire, they prepare a simple mold for casting - cardboard and a thin aluminum tube. The round handle is not very convenient to use, so the tube should be slightly flattened on both sides. One end of the finished form is plugged with any cork, and the finished melt is poured into the other. Immediately insert the handle of the tool and wait for it to grab. For the beauty of the product, you can pour a pinch of paint into the melting nylon - bronze or silver.

For example, you can make puppets for the theater, funny toys, florica from old children's tights. Some needlewomen even weave colorful rugs. And from unnecessary children's tights, you can cut rags to wipe the dust.

  • Children tights;
  • scissors;
  • thread with a needle;
  • beads;
  • sawdust;
  • soil for indoor plants;

Master class on making a very long dachshund

Long as a sausage, cheerful and funny, such a dog is very popular with children. The more colorful tights you find, the better.

So, in order to make a toy with our own hands, we need:

  • a few old children's tights;
  • thread with a needle;
  • scissors;
  • multi-colored flaps, beads, buttons;
  • synthetic winterizer or nylon tights.

First, cut off the “legs” of the tights (“feet” must also be separated). Turn the pieces inside out, and then carefully sew together. Sew one end, stuff the whole body with old nylon tights or synthetic winterizer. Sew the other end, attach bead eyes, nose. Take 2 "feet" from the tights, sew them in place of the ears. Cut out a collar, four paws, a tail from bright patches and glue (or sew) them to the “body”.

Did you know that tights...

Many women wear tights without thinking about their origin and significance in the fashion world. It is simply amazing, but initially they were a component of an exclusively male wardrobe. It was only in the 16th century that secular women of fashion began to wear silk stockings. But nylon tights appeared much later - only in the middle of the 20th century. 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 caprons. Now this product is publicly available, available in various colors and shades, with a wide variety of textures and weaves.

So, dear fashionistas, do not rush to throw away torn stockings. You can make a lot of useful, interesting things with your own hands from old tights. They can be used in the garden, in the kitchen, in the nursery and even in the first-aid kit. If they are torn quite a bit, you can wear them just under jeans. Or you can rob a bank (just kidding).



For most girls, the "arrow" on tights becomes a real tragedy. But in fact, the fair sex should not be upset and immediately throw stockings into a landfill. After all, nylon tights can not only be worn, but also successfully used in everyday life. In our review, the best ideas for the resurrection of damaged hosiery.


1. With the help of nylon tights, you can find and get small items from hard-to-reach places


If you pull a nylon stocking over the suction hole of the vacuum cleaner, dust will get inside, and small things will linger on the fabric. In this way, you can easily find a lost bead, button or earring.

2. Old tights are suitable for decorating various items.


Patterned nylon tights can be an excellent material for decorating flower pots and vases.

3. In nylon tights it is convenient to paint eggs for Easter


With the help of nylon tights, you can easily and simply make beautiful drawings on Easter eggs. To do this, you need to attach the leaves of the selected plants to the egg, cover it with a piece of nylon stockings, fix the fabric, and lower it into the dye or boil it in onion peel.

4. Moth repellent pads can be made from nylon tights


Thanks to the old nylon stockings, you can save on moth remedies. You just need to sew pantyhose bags, fill them with dried lavender and put them in the closet.

5. Onions can be stored in nylon tights


The bulb should be put in a stocking and tied in a knot just above the vegetable crop. You can completely fill both stockings, and tie or sew up the upper part of the tights. This storage method will allow the bulbs to breathe and any moisture will quickly evaporate. This increases the shelf life of the onion.

6. Nylon tights can become a cover for a broom


A broom in a stocking will not fray and will not break. Such a cover will extend the life of a home broom. And with such a broom it is much more convenient to remove the cobwebs.

7. From nylon tights you get bathroom flavors


You can put dry orange peels in absolutely clean nylon tights and hang them in any inconspicuous place in the bathroom. Every time the room is filled with steam, orange peels will create a pleasant aroma.

Another unusual way of using hosiery was invented in China. There, the girls decided that their four-legged friends should also dress up in.
