Old tights (pantyhose if you're American)

I'm not having the best week... First my camera breaks, then I get a warning light come up on my car, then my phone stops working and to top it all off, I get a ladder in my tights! It got me thinking though, there MUST be a use for old tights so I did a teeny bit of research and found this; 20 extraordinary uses for old pantyhose! My favourite from the list is no.14 but none of these top this idea:

How to make Grass Heads 

1. Cut off the legs of an old pair of tights

2. Put a spoonful of grass seed and then a large handful of compost in each leg

3. Tie off as tight as you can

4. Pull out a section of the tights (with some compost in it) and tie with thread to make the nose

5. Add buttons or stickers for eyes

6. Place in a cup of water on a windowsill and keep damp

7. Watch your Grass Heads grow!

I used to love these when I was younger! TN xxx
