Post your ''Other'' Uses for feed bags

[Chic-n-farmer]

I have not made the curtains yet. I will eventually and post some pictures.

Yes, a regular sewing machine works fine for making these. Like some one said, 20 minutes to a half hour turns out bags, pictured below, that I made.

They are a super recycling idea. A teacher from my church is taking some to show the students for Earth Day

I sell them for $10 each, plus shipping. The bottom picture is of the actual green, Flock Raiser feed bag. When I get time I will post a picture of the shopping bag made from it. Thanks for all the requests!

That's a great ideal for Earth Day

I'm SO glad someone posted this. I too am looking for ways to reuse or make better use of empty bags. I also have the 50lb dog food bags. I going to use them too. Cant wait to see the curtains!!!!

I am using 1 bag to hold all my other bags.

Rumor has it my kids 4H club is going to do a project with them, not sure what.

I taught my 4-H group how to make the bags and we are using them as part of our fundraiser. We are having a bake sale during a gardening event. We intend to sell the bags there.

I have been making the bags various sizes.

The largest are simply the 50lb bags, left tall, with handles and reinforced, squared bottoms. Those we use for recycling and garden / yard bags.

Smaller or shorter bags will work to tote plants home or use as shopping bags.

Trash bags is a given, but we do use some around plants to help kill weeds and hold moisture in, mainly the paper type.

Im going to have to try this, do you have a picture of how you do this? How much of the bag do you use and how close to the plants do you put the bags?

Used a bunch of bags to cover some tender plants last night with the threat of frost and or freeze.

Checkbook cover,I think I got it from someone on here

Here are some of my latest bags! There would be more pictures but BYC makes me jump through hoops to post them. Sometimes I keep jumping and nothing...

I also offer some of the bags, pictured below, for $5 and the others are $10

Shipping usually runs around $5 for two bags

Please PM me to purchase bags.

Thanks!
