The Feed Sack Store is dedicated to making the world a better place for humans and animals through recycling and encouraging people to see the beauty in nature. We want to encourage everyone to recycle and offer patterns to help others with their own feed sack recycling projects. We also offer upcycled and recycled products made on our ranch in Tioga, Texas.
We have developed patterns specifically for woven polypropylene feed sack fabric to enable everyone to able to create products that are stunningly beautiful and yet extremely practical. The custom and recycled nature of each handmade upcycled feed sack product only adds to its charm and allure.
Please feel free to browse through our products to get ideas for your own projects. Our etsy store has more examples of our custom products.Woven polypropylene feed sacks are a durable material often covered with stunning images of horses, poultry, ranch animals, song birds, and wildlife. These sacks are being thrown into the garbage contributing to the growing landfill crisis. We would like to encourage everyone to upcycle feed sacks as part of their routine recycling efforts.
Upcycling feed sacks into useful products will reduce the amount of non-biodegradable feed sacks in our landfills. Products made of upcycled woven polypropylene fabric are extremely strong, lightweight, waterproof, and easily wipe clean with a damp cloth.
