LOL I love it!!!! Great use for the feed bags!!! And here I had been using them for trash bags when I could have covered the chicken run with them!
Back in the day, companies sold flour, sugar, coffee and animal grain in bags made of canvas, and later out of printed cotton fabric. They had the brand info stamped on them in a washable ink. People used to soak the ink out of the sacks and use them for any sewing project that fit the size fabric they had. My grandma used to buy feedsack material and make aprons, dishtowels, napkins, quilt tops, and even little dresses out of them. It would be great to bring that back! However, these bags have lots of uses too and I love Wyodot's idea of murals!
I was SO proud of myself for thinking it up, I'm glad to see that other rednecks are using the bags as a resource. I did the inside of my chicken's old barn, so you can't actually see it from the outside but once you're in it's like a scene from Lost In Translation. It's cut down on drafts SOOO much.
