Feed Bag Tote Bag

I am giving homemade goodies to family and friends this Christmas.  Last year I wrapped 3 sides of a box with Christmas wrapping paper and put the goodies in these.   This year I wanted to do something different.  In my search for crafts from feed sacks I came upon the neatest thing.  A tote bag made from feed bags (not the paper ones) but those that look like a tightly woven plastic.  I am making these now to hold the Christmas goodies.  I made this one last night in about 30 minutes.  

I am thinking of all kind of uses for them.  I plan on making a couple for me to keep in my truck for my Sam's Club visits to hold the small items I purchase.  They could be used as book bags or even to throw a few small tools in when you have a project to do and don't want to carry a large tool box around.

Here are the instructions for the Feed Bag Tote Bag.   I like hers much better than mine due to the coloring of her bags but I have a Bazillion of the FRM bags so this is what I will use.  


I found more ideas on this web site,  Tink's Crafts  she makes them and sells them but they are much fancier than the ones I am doing but you could get some good ideas from her photo's.
