I was roaming the internet recently and came across some crafts I just had to show you.  I found 14 totally fun and amazing crafts that are made from tights.  These crafts are a great way to recycle the tights that your kids have grown out of.  I know how quickly my kids grow out of their tights.  Well, instead of throwing them away… these crafts are an awesome way to reuse them.  Plus, these crafts are so much fun.  So, round up those old tights and let’s have some crafting fun.
