Hey! Happy 200th party over on Funky Junk Interiors! 200 parties! Isn’t that amazing?!

Why not celebrate with one of the most loved DIY treatments of all…. grain sack projects! Who doesn’t love the vintage vibe a good grain sack design gives off? As luck would have it, you don’t have to purchase expensive authentic grain sacks to get the look. Here’s proof…

    LOVE grain sacks…but I realize now I’ve never made anything that I can share…only bought things others have made. I’d better get on that!
    I guess I’m having my own little “spool party” up in Home Décor this week…haha 🙂 Thanks Donna…happy weekend! Laurel

    Oh, Donna< I love all the grain sack things. I still want one like you make out of sand bags. But if you remember, here a sand bag is a plastic bag with a draw string. Yuck! Not much of a pillow making material. Could you possible send me the name of the store that you get yours from and maybe I could order some from them. Got my fingers crossed. Thanks for the great post as always.
