Here are some ideas on how to squeeze out more uses from those old stockings.
- Wear on chilly nights to warm your legs.
- Since stockings are quite strong and elastics, use them to tie things together.
- Convert into cleaning rags for delicate surface like glass or porcelain. Perfect also for buffing leather shoes or bags.
- Make into stuffing for dolls or pillows.
- Cut off a segment and use as a headband to keep hair in place while you're doing house chores.
- 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.
- Roll a stocking to keep them from rolling around the closet.
- Roll a stocking around a sturdy stick - now you have something to sweep hard to reach areas or the toilet bowl.
- Patch up the hole of your window screen with a selection of stocking.
