Old tights can be cut into small pieces and used as a shoe polish. It is important that such rags are so compact that you can always carry them with you and not worry about your shoes getting dirty.

The shades of tights made from this material will perfectly convey the color of the skin and give the future doll a natural look. Next, all that remains is to stuff the product with cotton wool, foam rubber or holofiber.

Washcloth

You need to take several pairs of old tights to make a small tight bag and put a piece of soap inside. This device can be used when bathing. This method will make it easier to take water procedures and save on shower gels.

Painting eggs

To make Easter eggs using tights, you need to put a sprig of parsley or any other herb on the egg and wrap it in nylon so that the leaves fit tightly to the shell. When cooking, add a little dye to the water. As a result, all areas of the egg will be colored, except for those where there were leaves.This method is very simple, but it will make the shell very unusual.

Cleaning mirrors and glass

After washing windows or mirrors with soapy water, you need to walk over them with a nylon cloth. This will give the glass shine and shine.

    In the trash. All these crafts made from old tights look pathetic and disgusting. There are plenty of materials on sale for repairs and crafts. Sponges, shoe polishes, storage gadgets, etc.cost pennies, to use torn tights for this is not to respect yourself.
    The dressing material made from old nylon especially killed the problem; you can also recommend moss, as they did in the old days (and it will be more hygienic). Buy a sterile bandage, the toad is choking, is it better to introduce an infection into the wound?

    Great article! I would like to ask Anna what she forgot on such a site, if she can buy everything, the garbage dumps around are quite satisfactory, and her hands are only capable of “wretched” things... Before my eyes, a tourniquet made of nylon tights saved a man’s life, somehow the man did not plan the accident and a ruptured artery, I didn’t prepare to make it hygienic!

    Anna, you are a goner. If you don't like the advice here on the site, then get out. And people share their experiences.

  4. Galina

    Anna, you have no intelligence and tact, go to where you once came from.....

    Everyone is right, everyone is human. And Anna is empty, complacent and devoid of creativity. And stupid. You need to buy (and possibly take with you) many different things, but tights are one thing, multifunctional and FREE!

    About the photo filter it’s absolutely utter nonsense. There will be no such effect.

  7. Elizabeth

    But about the photo filter it’s not nonsense, but a very real thing; recently there was a program on television dedicated to Gurchenko, where her friends said that in recent years she was filmed with a movie camera only through a nylon stocking, and this was a prerequisite

    What nonsense! The next topic for discussion is what can be done from used condoms

    Maybe you can come up with something else from women's panties?
