Pantyhose Tip #2


Cut the pantyhose horizontally across the leg (see hair ties) and use these for staking up plants. The soft, yielding material won't damage the stems, especially if you tie using the loose, crazy-8 pattern. Combine two ties for a longer cord, if needed.

To combine two, overlap two loops on a flat surface. Simultaneously pull the lower loop through the upper loop on one end while pulling the upper loop through the lower on the other end. These will tighten into a knot as you pull. Hmm, that isn't as clear as it would be with illustrations.

Here is an illustration that is pretty close. Their loops have a long tail, but the method is the same.
