plantable seed paper tutorial

Uncategorized

 get a bowl, and tear up lots of paper in to small bits and fill it up,

 add some water and soak it for 5 minutes, then put it in to a blender, and add a cup of water, put the lid on and press the pulp button, until the paper turns to mush like the photo below

 then put this into a strainer and drain out as much water as possible, but still leaving it wet enough to stick together.

 now its time to add the seeds, mix them in then transfer the pulp on to a tea towel and press it flat, spreading it evenly, you can use a rolling pin to flatten it, i then pressed the mesh from the strainer onto it to flatted it and remove excess water. then i gently removed it and put in on to some foil to dry.

 leave it to one side over night, or as long as it likes to dry, while its wet, you can use cookie cutters to make shapes if you want, i dried it whole then cut circles, next i cut some cute tags on my silhouette.
then i used some glue dots to stick the seed paper to the tags

 next i used stamps to write the words grow me, and used a hole punch and threaded some jute twine into it to make the tag.

  6. I don't know where you come up with you ideas, but they sure are good. Being the gardener that I am I loved this idea. What lovely gifts they would make. So creative of you. Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration at Sunday's Best.

  14. I'm visiting from the Shabby Creek Cottage. I love your tags! I think this is such a clever idea, but I'm wondering about the growing instructions. What kind of seeds did you use? Do they plant this in a pot, or in the ground? Thanks for the info!
