Cut off the elastic tops of your tights and stockings before throwing them away. I use the stocking tops for hair bands and scrunchies. I use the elastic from the waistband of tights to secure my rubbish bag around the bin and also to keep the cat litter bag in place. I have used the legs from old tights to secure a parcel. Nice and strong!

I use old pantyhose and knee highs to tie tomato plants to the pole. They are also useful for storing onions.
I cut the legs off old pantyhose and tie leg ends shut. I insert the panty into my net for my vinyl swimming pool. The sheer to waist do better.
Love your ideas and especially to use as a scrunchie :-)
I store onions in them after harvesting for the winter and they are perfect ties in the garden.

I stick my wet washed tennis shoes in each leg n put on the inside of my dryer door n tie it on the outside to dry tennis shoes faster n no clucking noise
I use these to stake my plants.
