When I was a little girl, my mom would wrap some of our gifts up in feed sacks and it’s one of those small, simple Christmas memories from my childhood that I remember. 

Typically the sacks were brown and she’d deck them out with a cute western bow and gift tag. When she’d go for a load of horse feed or cubes, she’d have them give her some unfilled bags they hadn’t used yet for the feed they mixed there. I always loved it and thought it was such a clever way to wrap our gifts while also being a nod to our way of life. 

I decided to bring that back this year and talked a little bit about it in our recent Paintbrush Prairie episode. I prefer the plain brown feed sacks but these Shawnee Feeds are still fun too. I took our branding iron to a few, added a bow, and a cute gift tag from Talia’s Etsy shop! These make wrapping odd shaped, bulky packages so easy!

I also wanted to share a few gorgeous photos Michelle Mensing took of my wrapping paper. I love seeing everyone’s packages wrapped up in this under the tree.

You can purchase my Cowboy Claus wrapping paper here. He makes packages so much cuter.

If you love this idea, hop over on my Pinterest and re-share my pins will ya?
