Stuff To Do With Fishnets

Ahh, fishnets...those wonderfully trashy tights everyone has even if they don't like to admit it. They seem to get the most wear at costume parties and on Halloween, but there are other things you can do with fishnets. Here's my list:

• Cut and sew into cute, cheap half-finger gloves (don't forget to add some lace!).
• Toy for your cat or dog
• Hang the waistband from a hook in your kitchen and use tights to hold not-quite-ripe fruit.
• Stuff in prissy rival's purse/bookbag/briefcase when they're not looking to cause an embarrassing and image-altering moment for her (or him!) later
• Hairnet (be sure to knot the legs at the top of your head)
• Drain pasta when you don't have a clean strainer handy
• If you have white, metallic, or colorful (red, etc.) fishnets, layer over opaque contrasting tights for a futuristic look.
• Cut off the last 8 inches or so, attach to a round wire frame-type thing with a handle, and use to safely remove ornery, biting small rodents from their cages when it's time to clean them.
• If you have several pairs, loosely weave them together for a unique and funky wall hanging or curtain.
• Laundry bag for socks, undies, and other small, easily compacted garments.
• Pair with big black boots and wear under a cute, nice dress to *really* confuse people (works especially well with pastel or flowery dresses).
