Repurposing rice bags

I kept some of the rice bags without thinking anything. Just I thought that, I could up cycle in the future. One day, while cleaning my garage, I just about to throw them in the trash. Suddenly, it came in my mind whether I could make cross stitch on them. Actually, just before I went to craft store to buy some fabric for cross stitch. However, the price of the fabric pulled me back. I desperately wanted to do some cross stitches. I took one bag, and very meticulously I ripped the seam , and make long fabric. When I tried to stitch on it with the yarns from my stock, to my utter disappointment, I found that it was impossible to stitch. I put away everything in box, and didn't open for a long time. One day, while cleaning my craft supplies, I took out the bag again, and tried to stitch with different tread, and I found out it could be possible to stitch on the bags. I almost jumped in joy. Then I up cycle all the four bags which I kept in my garage. Now all of them are added to my home decor. Here are all of them. I'm also showing how I cut the seam and changed them in totally different thing. No one could recognize what material I used to make the wall hanging, the table runners until I told. :)

You need the bag, a big scissors, and small pointed scissors.

Cut the seam

You need the small scissors to cut the chain. You can keep the chain also. I usually keep the chain which I an use in making bags.
