My mom is so cute...she saved all of the flour sacks {5,10,20lb sizes} for me that they used during their mission to New Mexico.
Aren't they pretty?
I just shook out the flour and filled it with batting, then tied a bow around it.
It could even add a little whimsy to a tablescape. My mom washed a couple of them and they have that nice faded look. I really like the vibrant colors, though. She even called up the flour mill and they would sell the sacks individually!
What would you do with a flour sack? Make a pillow, frame it, apron...leave a comment and let me know!!!

Very Cute idea! The bags are so cute. I like what you did with them. They would look cute sitting in a basket.
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome idea. By the way, that is one beautiful cage thing to the right in the bottom picture. You must have an awesome personal shopper... hee hee hee! :)
ReplyDeleteI love them! I have a few small bags (say 5lb size) I'm trying to decide what to do with also.
ReplyDeleteI Love this! Super cute! I would love it if you linked up to my Talk About it Tuesday party because you have such cute ideas!

I love these, I've always wanted cool flour sacks and have never found any, and I love anything with birds on them. I would make cutains for my kitchen out of them. How much did they say they would sell them for?

My grandma use to make my brother's shirts out of flour sacks that had designs back in the 1930's. I was thinking of making a shirt for my little grandson to bring back the fad of old. Being 18 months old, he will look cute in a little shirt with a blue bird on the back.
ReplyDeleteWe are Navajo and my son, receiver a home made Bluebird Flour bag boxers last year for Christmas. I would post a picture of it but don't know how too on your blog...
