I collect my husband's unpaired socks, I found 9 useful uses for them

Ah, this amazing, almost mystical property of socks to mysteriously disappear in space, being separated from each other. How many anecdotes and jokes have been written on this topic. The situation did not pass me by either. As I stood, holding in my hands a heap of different pairs of my husband's socks, the first thought, of course, was to say goodbye to them, sending them to the trash can. But I thought and decided to give single socks a chance for a second life.

The first thing it occurred to me was that it would be convenient to use them as a rag: putting a sock on your hand, it is very convenient to wipe the dust in narrow, hard-to-reach places, for example, blinds.

The sock stretching from the bottom to the bottom of the cup will help keep warm and the tea will stay hot longer.

As strange as it sounds, socks can be a great home fragrance. If you pour coffee in them, you get a kind of sachet. And if you fill a sock with baking soda and put it inside your shoes, it will help neutralize unpleasant odors.

Another way to use a sock alone is to make an original umbrella cover or a soft eyeglass case out of it.

Having rummaged in memory, many will remember that pouring heated salt into a sock and using it as a heating pad was recommended by our grandparents.

My eyes fell on the scratched floor near the table, and I realized that from now on these scratches would not appear - having carefully cut off the tips of the socks, I will put them under the table legs, and the floor will be protected. I will do the same with the rest of the furniture: the legs of sofas, armchairs and heavy bedside tables will acquire their own "socks".

I have not forgotten about my beloved - if you cut off and twist the upper part of the sock adjacent to the ankle, you will get a comfortable and beautiful hair tie. Seeing her, hardly anyone would think that she was once a sock.

Another great idea for using socks will appeal to needlewomen. It turns out that from socks cut with scissors into rings, in which you first need to cut off the heel and toe tip, you can weave a great rug. And by combining different colors and textures, you can create a real work of art.

Agree, before parting with the socks left without "brothers", you should think carefully, because you can give them a new, useful and interesting life.
