Homemade Tarp from Used Feed Bags

Plastic feed bags need not be trashed; instead, they can be transformed into a homemade tarp. Save bags from livestock, cat or dog food until you have a good pile, cut to flatten, and then sew together with heavier coat thread. I recommend double-stitching for durability.

This makes a cheap and efficient homemade tarp that you can use to cover woodpiles, farm equipment and more.
