Tights. From red to white and inside to out, these can be a treat, but often the opposite!
I was incredibly intrigued reading this post from another blogger, and I wasn't disappointed. The one thing that I hate with a passion is when you buy new tights and somehow, whether it be that they caught on the door, a stray wire, or you tugged on a loose stitch, they get holey.
Instinct is to throw them away, right?
You'll be surprised - or not so surprised, given the title of this post - that there are actually a few things you can do with a pair of useless tights. Don't despair, my little ones! (This happens too frequently for me to kick myself that I threw a pair out the other day, I'm sure another mishap is just around the corner).
1) Cut a loop from the leg and tie it as a headband to use whilst taking your make up off or doing a face mask. Luckily you can use thick tights as an emergency eye mask, too!
2) They make for great wrapping paper storage!
3) To keep those detestable moths outside where they should be, and not inside your wardrobe, make lavender sachets! Cut a loop from the tights of about 5 inches and stuff it with lavender before tying a knot to secure the lavender and hang it up in your wardrobe, for refreshingly beautiful smelling clothes, too.
4) Fill a foot of the tights with cheap oats and tie the rest of the leg around the hot tap of the bath. End result: a delicious and moisturising bath.
5) If, or should I say when, you lose a small earring stud or something tiny and inconveniently hard to see, put a leg of the tights over the end of the hoover and secure with an elastic band. Hoover around where you dropped it, and the item should be picked up without being sucked up!
