Simple Uses for your Old Stockings

Here are some ideas on how to squeeze out more uses from those old stockings.

• Put one stocking over the other, then use as a basket to store garlic, onions or small fruits.
• Weave several stockings together into floor mats or macrame flowerpot holders.
• Put mothballs in a stocking to keep them from rolling around the closet.
