Ol' Money Bags

Since I'm on kind of a revamped vintage kick, I thought I would share another recent craft project. Estate sale season is upon us and at one particularly junk filled casa I scored these awesome vintage money bags. With just a little stuffing and some quick stitching the empty canvas bags became fabulous accent pillows.

Here are the flat money bags before their transformation:

All you need is some generic fiberfill and cream colored thread.

Turn the bag inside out and stitch about half way across the top. Just far enough that you have enough room to turn the bag right side out and fill it with fluff.



After stuffing the bags with fluffy stuff, hand stitch the remaining opening and you're done! Easy peasy!

The worn canvas is surprisingly soft and makes for a cool conversation piece. Now if only they were filled with more than fiberfill...
