Because nylon is a material that tears very easily, even a small roughness can cause a hole to appear.

However, don’t rush to say goodbye to nylon hosiery – it’s quite possible that you’ll still need them.

1. Nylon tights can be used to strain liquids. To do this, fold them in several layers and secure them to the container with an elastic band.

2. Clean and washed nylon stockings can be used for sifting flour. You can also hang cottage cheese in them during the cheese making process.

3. You can sew bags from old tights and fill them with dry medicinal herbs, coffee beans or citrus zest. You can place these bags around the house – and your natural fragrance is ready. You can safely use these bags while bathing in a hot bath.

4. You can make excellent rags for washing mirrors and glass from nylon tights by folding them into a square and stitching them crosswise. They have good abrasive properties and effectively remove dirt.

5. You can make a moth repellent out of tights by sewing pads out of them and filling them with lavender. They will protect your clothes from the pest.

6. Try using nylon tights to create a fog effect in your photos. To do this, simply cover the lens with a dark nylon fabric.

7. Unneeded tights can be used to paint Easter eggs. To do this, each egg is placed in a nylon "bag" and tied tightly.

8. Picking up beads or other small objects from the floor can be made easier by using the same old nylon tights. To do this, put them on a vacuum cleaner and plug the device into the network - small objects will remain on the surface of the nylon.

9. Another useful thing can be made from nylon tights – a net for cleaning the pool. To do this, make a circle from wire, stretch nylon onto it, and then attach a handle.

10. Finally, try polishing your shoes using torn stockings – nylon works great for this purpose.
