Panty hose are bound to end up with runs and holes in them but that's ok. There are many things you can do to reuse those old panty hose.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Old panty hose
Wire coat hanger (optional)
Popsicle stick (optional)
Soap (optional)
Rolling pin (optional)

Step 1

Soap bar holder/exfoliant - Drop a bar of soap into a leg of an old pair of panty hose and use it to store the soap and use the soap in the hose. The nylon will act as a gentle exfoliant on your skin.
Step 2

Clean bugs off a car - Wad up some panty hose and clean the grille of your car. The nylon is abrasive but gentle enough to not damage your car.
Step 3

Store rolls of wrapping paper - Put wrapping paper rolls in the legs of pantyhose for easy storage and to prevent damage to the wrapping paper.
Step 4

Store soap remnants - collect all the little remnants of soap that are too small to use and place them in the feet of panty hose. You can use them like a soap bar straight from the panty hose when you have enough collected.
Step 5

Keep soil in pots - Cut part of the panty hose and lay it on the bottom of a planter pot. The nylons will prevent the soil from coming out but still allow for the water to run through.
Step 6

Deodorizer - Add some cat litter to the foot of the panty hose, cut it and tie it off and hang in an area needing deodorizing. The cat litter helps absorb the odors.
Step 7

Pond/pool skimmer - Pull open an old wire coat hanger and slide a panty hose leg over the hanger. Use to skim a backyard pond or pool.
Step 8

Deodorant mark removal - Wad up a pair of panty hose and rub in circular motion over any area of a shirt or blouse that has deodorant marks on it.
Step 9

Roll out dough - Slide a rolling pin into the leg of a clean pair of panty hose. The nylon will prevent the dough from sticking to the rolling pin.
Step 10

Stuffing - Gather old panty hose and use to stuff homemade dolls or old and homemade pillows.
Step 11

Strain paint - Pour old lumpy paint through a pair of panty hose before using. The panty hose will strain the paint leaving clean lump-free paint.
Step 12

Apply wood stain - Place a folded strip of a pair of panty hose over a popsicle stick and use to get the hard to reach areas when staining furniture.
Step 13

Scrubber - Wad up a pair of panty hose and use to scrub sinks and tiles.
Step 14

Shoe buffer - Ball up a pair of panty hose and use to buff your shoes.
