To Do with Pantyhose

If you have a wet-and-dry vacuum, you can change the water in your fish tank without disturbing the gravel and tank accessories. (You’ll still have to relocate the fish, of course.) Just pull the foot of old pair of nylon pantyhose over the end of the vacuum’s nozzle and secure it with a rubber band, and you are ready to suck out the water.
As any seasoned traveller knows, you can squeeze more of your belongings into any piece of luggage by rolling up your clothes. Stop bulkier rolls from unwrapping by covering them with the legs from a pair of old pantyhose. Snip off the foot sections and start packing. Happy travels!
Keep your onions fresh by hanging them in nylon holders that provide good air circulation. Place the onions one at a time into the leg of a clean pair of pantyhose. Work the first one down to the foot section, then tie a knot above it and add the next one. Repeat until done. Cut off the remaining hose and then hang the onions in a cool, dry area of your kitchen. To remove an onion, snip off a knot, starting from the bottom.
Have you ever spent hours on your hands and knees searching through a carpet for a lost gemstone, contact lens or some other tiny, precious item? Try this solution: Cut a leg off an old pair of pantyhose—keeping the toe section intact—and pull it up over the nozzle of your vacuum cleaner hose. Secure it to the hose with a rubber band. Turn on the vacuum, carefully move the nozzle over the carpet and you’ll soon find your lost valuable attached to the pantyhose filter.
Is your kid’s teddy bear or doll losing its stuffing? Get out a needle and thread and prepare the patient for an emergency "stuffing transplant." Replace the lost filler with narrow strips of clean, worn-out pantyhose (ball them up, if possible). Stitch the hole well and a complete recovery is guaranteed. This works well with throw pillows and seat cushions, too.

Use the leg of a pair of pantyhose to store flower bulbs out of season. Cut off the leg, drop in the bulbs, knot the end and add an i.d. tag with masking tape. Hang in a cool, dry, ventilated area until replanting time.
Repel deer with bundles of human or pet hair. Collect hair clippings from the local salon or dog grooming parlor. Fill the foot sections of old pantry hose with the human hair, tie the end and hang the "hair sachets" where the deer like to snack. Replace the hair every week as it tends to lose the repellent scent.
Stake new plants and young trees with strips of pantyhose. Eliminate possible damage from string and wire as the plants mature.
Wash up after gardening without getting dirt on the bathroom faucets. Drop leftover slivers of soap into the foot of a pair of pantyhose and tie it shut. Hang it next to the outdoor faucet for a quick wash before going inside.
Make a firefly jar for a child. Fit a square of nylon pantyhose with a rubber band over the top of a plastic peanut butter jar.
Pot plants with a piece of pantyhose in the bottom of the pot. Prevent soil from leaking while water drains freely.

Create protective sleeves for melons to keep them up off the ground. Slide the new melons into the foot section of a leg of pantyhose. Tie it to a stake so that the melon isn't touching the ground. Eliminate ground rot, mold and invasion by insects.
