Women's nylon tights are a very practical thing in terms of creativity. From this wardrobe item you can make many interesting crafts yourself. If in your closet during the cold season a few tights have accumulated that are no longer wearable, we suggest that you make original crafts from them. You can familiarize yourself with the technology of creating dolls and rugs in the master classes presented in this article. So, we sort out our wardrobe, set aside kapron material for needlework and proceed to the creative process.
Let's make a soft baby daughter. Preparatory stage
Let's talk about how to make crafts from nylon tights for girls. So, to complete the doll you will need the most affordable materials and only an hour of time. Should be prepared:
- nylon tights;
- synthetic winterizer or holofiber;
- a small and large needle;
- sewing threads;
- two beads for performing eyes;
- yarn;
- black and pink floss;
- rags of fabric.
Stage 1 of making crafts from nylon tights - dolls
Getting to the product. Cut off a piece of tights (the place that was located on the leg in the calf area). We sew one side with stitches, slightly tighten the thread and fix it with a knot. We turn the part and stuff it with filler, forming a round ball. A neat seam is made up the second edge of the workpiece. As a result, we get the detail of the doll’s head. In the right places we sew the bead eyes, embroider cilia and eyebrows with black floss. With a pink thread we make out the nose and mouth. We make hair out of yarn. For their manufacture, we cut the thread for knitting into pieces. Then we insert several such pieces into a large needle at once, stretch them through the nylon onto the parts of the head. Next, we pull the needle, and tie the ends of the threads to a knot. The lesson is rather laborious, therefore, you can use a simplified version: only make a bang from yarn, and put a hat sewn from fabric or knitted on the head of a baby doll. In this case, it is better to sew on a hat to hide the seam on the capron.
2 stage
From nylon tights with our own hands we sew a soft doll. Making the body part. We cut off the part, a little longer than the one that was used to create the head. Sew the bottom edge and twist. It turns out a rectangular bag. We fill it with a padding polyester, draw a hole with stitches and slightly pull it together. We fix the knot and, without cutting the thread, sew the part of the head to the body. We make clothes from the fabric in the form of a cape (or any other according to your desire and abilities). It remains to make pens. Two square blanks are cut from kapron. We make a seam along all the edges, we don’t cut the thread. Put a little filler in the middle of each part. We tighten the thread, forming a ball. This is the handle of a sweetie. Similarly, we arrange the second such part. Sew hands to the body of a soft figure. If you still want to highlight the baby doll and legs, then make a vertical seam with a tightening in the middle of the body part (bottom). Creating crafts from nylon tights (dolls) is very exciting and fast. In one evening, devoted to creativity, you can sew a whole family of cute dolls.

And the process of its manufacture is interesting and fascinating. What is needed in order for such an original handmade item to appear in your home? List of materials for creating crafts from nylon tights (doormat):
- directly tights themselves of different sizes and colors;
- hook number 6;
- scissors.
Making yarn
Before you start making crafts from nylon tights, you need to prepare material for creativity. Cut off the toe, heel, elastic. Separate the seams at the top of the tights. Then we cut the details in a spiral in the form of a strip with a width of 1.5-2 centimeters. The ends of the obtained "threads" are connected with neat knots. We wind nylon yarn into a ball.
Description of the technology for making rug
Rugs (crafts made from kapron pantyhose) begin to knit from five air loops connected in a ring. We perform 10 single crochet. We fasten the first and last loops with a connecting column. In the next row, increase the number of loops by 2 times. To do this, from each column of the bottom row, we perform two loops. Thus, the circle will evenly increase in size. The structure of the canvas is dense. If you want to get a rug softer and lighter, then knit it with columns with one crochet. Alternating kapron "threads" made of tights of different colors, you get a striped original and interesting striped product.
It will be much easier to make a square or rectangular rug. Gather a chain of air loops of the desired size and knit with a straight cloth in columns. When the product reaches the desired size, cut the thread and fasten.
