Description

The listing, RECLAIMED burlap/jute Royal COFFEE BAG from local roaster. Use as material or frame! has ended.

This listing is for a once-filled with 50 lb of green coffee beans burlap/jute bag saved from local roaster. The front is shown, back is plain, but plain side is useful for upcycling as well (see pics). Shown with my sandal for size comparison, it measures about 3 x 1.5 ft.

I've used them as: curtains, embroidery canvas, coasters w/reclaimed plastic or foil bags as trim, and a laptop sleeve. I'm working on turning them into rugs, too. At my festival upcycling table, kids like to sew them with yarn and needlepoint needle. Just search Pinterest or Instagram for coffee bag ideas. So many options!

The laptop sleeve shown is lined with foil coffee bags for protection and secured with upcycled wool sweaters that I felted (maybe I should auction off my felt? Any interest??)

Tip: For machine sewing, use denim needle and heavy duty thread. Outdoor thread is way more expensive and all-purpose thread doesn't hold up as well.

Questions & Comments

This one is, but I have more! There are several kinds, too. I really like this Royal bag. I just saw Google image of someone who used the top half of the bag as a back to a chair. Very cool idea! Ginnygram, would you like all 4 of the Royal bags or combo of bags? And I will let you know by next week the cheapest way to send 4 bags too. Thx for asking!

And ginnygram, this bag, the cafe brasil one and the Kaldis bag (I need to post) would be perfect for upholstery. I'll post a couple pairs next!

Free shipping with GIN?

Great question. Hmmm...I like the idea of cutting a deal for GIN peeps. But, in my current situation & I have several to auction off & shipping is actually closer to $7.... HOW ABOUT I CUT SHIPPING IN HALF for GIN peeps? $3?

The deal for GIN is good idea!!
