I love this idea of turning an old feed bag into a great gift paper organizer. You can create this gift wrapping station with just one empty feed bag if that’s what you have or make a couple.

You just have to sew down sections of the bag to make them the right size for sliding gift wrap into them.

Then, just hang your organizer in a closet or anywhere you would normally keep it.

7. DIY Potato Grow Bag

If you grow your own garden, you can use those empty pet feed bags to create growers for potatoes, trees or anything else. You don’t even have to do a lot for this one.

You just clean up the bags and then do your planting. This is a great, and really cheap, way to do your own container gardening and it’s perfect for those of you who don’t have yard space for a more traditional garden. These would work for just about any container friendly fruits and vegetables.

Seriously, if you want a great farmhouse looking tablecloth, this one is it and this is so easy to make.
