Maybe it’s the caffeine, but I’m pretty revved up about all the possibilities of upcycling coffee sacks.
There’s no mention of upcycling or repurposing coffee sacks on my to do list–and of course I’ll have to avoid it becoming “too much of a good thing”–but this could become yet another diversion.
Here’s why:
Hometalk reader Josephine Howland left a nice comment about the ottoman project and included this photo of a bag she made. 
I have a leftover sack from the ottoman and did think about making a pillow…but thought eesh, that would be pretty scratchy! Then, I found Tips for Washing and Drying Coffee Sacks from Amy at stowandtellu.com and now I’m thinking past “scratchy” and my wheels are spinning again.
Consider these chairs from Upholstery Journal Magazine:
Or this pack from Jessica Beil’s BARE line (photo from accessoriesmagazine.com):
This lampshade made by Pinterest pinner Lori Holuta:
Or this spectacular wall (which gives me an idea) from Emily at jonesdesigncompany.com:
I’ve seen fabulous Christmas stockings, jewelry and memo boards, aprons, chaise lounges, window treatments… Hometalk and Pinterest feature dozens of projects as well.
While Googling, I ran across this beautiful bag (and traced the photo to BarnofOpportunity.Blogspot). Can you imagine the possibilities?!?!
Oooh, this could be trouble!
