This is an easy way to re-use old pantyhose! After the inial anger we get after wearing a pantyhose just once and discovering it already has holes it, we can now make something useful out of it!
What do we need?
An old panythose
scissors
optional: needle and thread
The first step we need to take is to think about what we want for our elastics and or headbands. the waist part will be larger and maybe more suitable for a headband. The leg part has different sizes of circles, so depending on how large or small you want your elastic to be, you either take the lower leg part or the thigh part. It's already a uniform round shape, so all you need to do is get your scissors and start cutting. if you want a smaller elastic you can go for a smaller band, if you want a wider elastic you just cut a wider band.
That's all there is to it! The thing I love about these elastics is that there's no metal strip holding the elastic together, plus there's a lot more variation in elasticity.You can get a lot of elastics just from one pantyhose!
For a headband there are 2 options. You can either cut a strip from the waist or thigh section, or you can go for a bit more creativity. You can cut strips of the pantyhose and braid them together. You can then secure both ends with needle and thread. Let your creativity flow and see what other options you might come up with!
