DIY Grain Sack Printable and Project
This week’s Crafty Project is another French DIY Grain Sack Printable and Project! You may recall a similar one HERE that I did awhile back. It was quite popular so, I thought I would come up with a new design!

Click HERE for the Full Size printable PDF of the Mirrored Grain Sack Image
(Use this image when you need a reverse image for transfer projects, as with Iron on Transfers or Citra Solv transfers etc.)
Here’s the Before photo. I just used some plain Flour Sack Towels from Walmart. They were super cheap! I think I paid around $5 or $6 for the pack of 5.
I used the mirrored image and used the Citra Solv Transfer method. You can find the instructions and a tutorial HERE. If you can’t find Citra Solv locally you can order it online Here at Amazon.
I had such a blast designing this printable! The French Grain image is from an tiny antique French book, that I purchased from a seller in France. I invented the name of the Mill and the address, so please don’t try to find it if you go to Paris, it doesn’t exist! The funny thing is, I had to change the address on this. I googled the first address that I came up with and it turned out, it was the address to a Paris strip club. Whoops!!! I’m sure glad I googled it before I finalized the project!
I liked this so much, I made some place mats too! I think these would be great to sell at craft shows or in a shop, if you have one. Now go make some towels, or pillows or whatever you like…. and have fun!! I hope you enjoyed this fun DIY Grain Sack Printable and Project tutorial!

I had just published a post about adding a farmhouse touch in my kitchen with burlap prints. I came across your french grain sack printable post when searching for printable options. I was just wanting to let you know I shared your french grain print post under free kitchen printables available on my post, which you can find here: http://themooninmae.blogspot.com/2016/01/burlap-prints.html
Thanks for the great post!

Thanks for the share Jennifer! And actually those 3 burlap prints all came from my blog too! Although the monogrammed one was altered. 😉

Love it- i downloaded a bunch of your graphics and printed some of my own type to make personalized christmas gifts. i sure hope they can be washed with out fading. thanks so much for the tutorial, and mine turned out great- the hardest part was deciding which graphics to use.

And the bit that I forgot to add before I hit Send was thank you so much for these fabulous images and for the tutorial.

I love this idea Karen. And I’m really inspired. I’ve downloaded a bunch of reverse images to photocopy and I’m going to give it a go this weekend. Fingers crossed I’ll have a lovely set of kitchen towels for my daughter’s housewarming.
