What could I do with a coffee sack?

Pic attached. It's quite big (foot for scale) and reasonably solid. It came with my coffee beans as packing (instead of those foam packing peanuts or crumpled brown paper). I could just throw it away, but it seems a bit of a waste, plus it's quite heavy and we pay by weight for our refuse collection.

I've never had a time when I thought "I wish I had a burlap sack now", but at the same time it seems like it ought to be useful somehow.

Well I'd bury treasure in it.

It could be used for rug making

Grin at exfoliating sanitary pads from Gwyneth. I bet suckers people would pay a fortune for them. If they buy those candles then they'll buy anything.

It's making me cough every time I go near it or move it, so I think it's going to go in the bin. Although I would naturally go for Ostanovka's method of putting it away carefully and then forgetting about it. Grin

Use it to to cover your Christmas tree pot and tie with a red ribbon or string.

Make a proggy/hooky mat or rag rug.

Gro-bag/sleeping bag for a baby you don't like? Grin

I don't think I've met a baby that I don't like, but teenage DS is annoying me a lot so I might make him a nice tunic from it. Grin

How about a face scrub/pillow case? Your cheeks would certainly have a glow in the morning.

A nice hair shirt that can be used for punishment?

Rag rug. My granny would have killed for a sack like that.

I know two dogs who have them as beds, they drag them around the kitchen to a position of their choice. They live in a house with an aga, I'm only a little jealous.

Making it into a lovely pair of exfoliating pants would have the same effect - no more cellulite.... or skin Grin
