If you were ever wondering what to do with a leftover grain or coffee-bean sack, one options now includes sending it to the maker of Petit Four designs, Kimberly Pettit, who upcycles burlap sacks into cutesy, one-of-a-kind pillows.
Petit Four designs are an ecologically friendly creation, but, having felt the roughness of burlap sacks before, I wonder how comfortable these cushions would be to lay on and whether or not they'd cause sack-burn on the side of your face.
