Pantyhose are expensive. I hate throwing money away. In these tough economic times, recycling becomes even more frugal. Make the best of your ruined expensive pantyhose. Recycle them.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Pantyhose ready for the trash bin.
  1. Step 1
    Pillows

    Pantyhose are soft. Cut them up and use them for stuffing pillows. You can also use them in stuffed animals or other toys as well as seat cushions.

  2. Step 2

    Pantyhose are also tough. Use strips of pantyhose to tie up boxes and stacks of books or magazines.

  3. Step 3

    You can also use pantyhose as a dust rag. They will hold quite a bit of dust and can be washed in the washing machine.

    Lastly, use as a scouring sponge. Place a sponge inside a pantyhose bag and scrub away. The texture of the pantyhose will wash your dishes clean.
