Coffee and feed sacks that once only served a utilitarian purpose are breathing new life into home decor as everything from pillows to wall art.  Maya*made shares the sack hack, a great way to transform these utilitarian bags into stylish (and still utilitarian) bulletin boards.  This is a great way to reuse a burlap sack and to add some vintage charm to your craft room, kitchen, or home office.

Pam Knott over at Mad Creek Designs stocks these fabulous feed bags, seed bags, and gunny sacks in all sorts of different patterns. Growing up in Iowa, she remembers her grandmother’s vanity bench covered with one, the kitchen curtains made from a pair of them, a table cloth, and an apron her grandmother wore until it was thread bare.
