We women are very efficient, that is why we often buy clothes that will last for years. Now see, if we are buying a kurti, then we think of buying such leggings with it which can go with 2-3 more kurtas also. If I talk about myself, I have pink coloured leggings, which I wear by mixing and matching with white, yellow and green kurta.
Similarly, black and white leggings are paired with many kurtas. However, after repeated use, even stretchy and comfortable leggings become loose. Sometimes their colour becomes discoloured, and some get torn or stretched in one or two places. After this, we either make them into a mop or throw them away. But what if I tell you that there are so many things you can do with those old leggings instead of throwing them away?
You just have to do a little hard work and you can use old leggings in new ways at home. If you are fond of crafts and arts, then this will be a game for your left hand. Let us tell you ways to reuse old leggings.
