Bag out of Layena package (updated w tutorial)

[andalusn]

I just made another bottom of a bag. Still working on the handles. I wanted to explore attaching them and the triangle bottoms with rivets. DH has a rivet gun and I liked the idea of mixing the bag with metal pieces as an art medium aspect. Not fancy as I am still working out the kinks but It's getting there.

Nice bag. What kind of feed do you buy?

I think the worst part of the bag making is the handles and attaching them.

It's the new packaging here for Nutrena's Nature Wise feed. Reformulated with more omega 3 etc... I was grumbling about them because along with the newer bag they reduced the wt by 10lbs. Which really means now I buy more feed to get me through my buying cycle. They cushion their decision with "it's the same price per lb" reason. Still means I buy 2 more bags a month to keep the math easy.

So now Nutrena comes in a 30lb bag??? Wow.
I'd love to see how your grommets come out--would add a new dimension to the bags.
