At Least 10 Uses For Panty Hose
From GoMestic.com
Cut the legs off and use to keep all those odd bits of soap that tend to get left in the bathroom. Tie the end and keep it beside the sink for hand washing.
Put mothballs into a leg and tie it to the rail in your closet
Fill a leg with lavender and use to scent your closet
Cut the waist off and use to tie up papers, or keep hoses and rolls of wire tidy
Gardeners can use strips of fabric to tie up plants in the garden
Strips cut from the waist make good hair scrunchies
Scrunched up pantyhose make excellent, soft polishing cloths
Put cat litter in a pantyhose leg and tie the top. This is good for absorbing damp.
Cut into small pieces and use to stuff toys and pillows
When paint goes lumpy you can strain it through a stretched out piece of pantyhose
If you drop something small on the floor and can't find it (such as an earring, button, etc), cut the leg off some old pantyhose and put it over the nozel on the vacuum cleaner. The suction will lift up the lost object and leave it stuck to the pantyhose.
Clean your fish tank. If you have one of those wet and dry vacuum cleaners (don't try it with an ordinary one!), use the method above to vacuum the gravel in the tank. You will be able to clean it without emptying, or disturbing the fish.
Rubbing polished shoes with nylon pantyhose gives them an extra gleaming shine
Keep spare, or used rolls of wallpaper in the legs of old panyhose. It stops them from tearing and helps keep them clean.
If you cut them into strips you can save money on cotton balls for removing nail varnish. These do the job very well if you dip them into your favourite remover.
Use old pantyhose to hang dry sweaters. You don't get peg, or line marks on them this way. Just thread them through the arms and tie them to the line.
Store onions in the legs of your pantyhose. You can simply hang them up and they will keep well with the good air circulation.
In the garden you can store flower bulbs in the same way as above. They will get a good circulation of air and will be protected from mice and other creatures looking for a tasty snack.
When repotting your houseplants put a circle of pantyhose in the bottom of the pot before filling it. This stops soil being washed out of the bottom each time you water.
If you are lucky enough to have a pool, stretch a piece of pantyhose over the skimmer and you will catch all those tiny particles that you usually miss

I cut the elastic waistband off old pantyhose. My favorite use for it is to put on around a kitchen trash can to keep the trash bag from falling down inside. It can also be used as a giant rubber band for many things like stacks of newspapers or magazines.
I use pantyhose tied to the end of the water hose that runs from the washing machine to the sink to collect lint etc. that would otherwise end up in the sink drain. I tie it to the end of the hose using garbage ties.
We put a portion of a ruined pantyhose over the back of our hard drive to help keep dust out.-- Susan R

To save space in your luggage, tightly roll up your clothes, then stretch the tube sections of your pantyhose over them.

My husband uses old pantyhose scraps to wrap his fishing bait in when he uses chicken livers. It keeps the bait from falling apart and off the hook and also keeps the fish from just nibbling it off the hook and swimming off.
I cut the waist off the top and put a roll of gift wrap in each leg. This protects the gift wrap from wrinkles and other damage when stored in your closet.
When taking a photography class, I learned a really neat effect.
If you take pictures use the pantyhose as a lense filter.
Cut a circle out of the pantyhose. Next get two small pieces of cardboard and cut a circle out of the middle of them. put the pantyhose inbetween the two pieces of cardboard and stapple the edges. The cardboard just makes it easier to hold. Next place the pantyhose in front of the lense of a camera. Being sure that the cardboard is not blocking the lense. And take the picture. The pantyhose, will create a picture that is softer looking. This technique is good to use when photographing older people, or people with skin that has scars, they dissappear and make the skin look really soft.
My dad is bald & he gets really cold even when the house is warm due to the fact that we loose body heat thru the top of our heads - so he asked me to crochet him a cap of old pantyhose. I cut off the toe & top & spiral cut the legs into one very long piece then crocheted the cap. Mom laughs at him "he looks funny" but "ya do what ya have to do"!
Make a punching bag by putting a soccer ball into the waist section of a pair of pantyhose. Knot the waist. Using the legs, tie it to a hook or a beam.
Now start punching.
I use old panty hose to make a breathable bag to hold Zeolite. I fill the bags with zeolite, and place them all around the house to control odors and moisture. One pound of Zeolite in the refrigerator in a panty hose bag works better than baking soda and by laying out in the sun for several hours once a month, you can use them over and over.
