Oodles of Crafty Pantyhose Possibilities

Today if you pop over to Craft Magazine you can find a fun project I did for them using pantyhose to make earrings. I have been on a real hose crafts bender and don't see it ending anytime soon. To coincide with my how-to project on Craft I thought I would share with you a few of my favorite pantyhose crafts. There is so much more you can do with them besides wear them on your legs!


How can you wear tights in the summer? When they have ice cream cones painted on them! Check out this easy how-to project for customizing your favorite pair of tights, leggins or hose.


Craft Chi made me actually want to go out and buy old school pantyhose for the first time in a long time. Not to wear on my legs, but to make into a ruffle.



Braiding pantyhose has all kinds of possibilities. Just check out these examples from a few of my vintage craft books. I also found that crocheting pantyhose has pretty cool results.


You might recall my love of prize ribbons. I recently combined this love with my new found fascination of pantyhose crafts.


I stole this picture of a pantyhose room divider from Cathy of California, but Diane of Crafty Pod has even more pictures from this amazing book.


Did you know you can use an old pair of pantyhose to silkscreen? You can I promise, heck I'll even show you how.


It's yellow, it's made of pantyhose and it's a necklace - what's not to love? Smaggle is my hero of hose.



A pantyhose lampshade sounds right up my tack-a-liscious alley. Follow these handy dandy instructions from a 1959 copy of Pack-o-Fun and make your own.


I've used my Yudu to silk screen clocks, vinyl record bracelets and now leggins!


I wish I had seen this fishnet covered jewelry holder bottle on Cut Out + Keep (found via Outsapop) when I was doing my series on jewelry displays.


Nylon fantasies indeed. Just picture those ornaments as earrings, oh ya baby,
