Tights broken? Make a leggings out of it
Tips on how to avoid holes in tights, there are already some here. But if a pantyhose gets some quirks, it does not have to be disposed of immediately. In general, there are only small holes in various places.
Simply cut off the holey part with a pair of scissors (or some other scissors that are as sharp as possible). For nylon tights, just brush the edge thinly with nail polish, thicker cotton tights usually last.
And if the holes, for whatever reason, are on top: Simply cut off the lower ends (feet) and continue to use them as socks.
