Step #2 - Print & Cut Your Seed Packets

Choose your paper and print templates with your home computer.

Carefully cut inside the black line so your finished seed packets do not show the printed template outline marks.

 

Step #3 - Fold and Glue Your Seed Packets

Each seed packet will have 4 folds. First fold the bottom section up and then fold each side over the bottom section. Glue each side over the bottom section creating an envelope. Glue sticks work great.

Leave the top envelope flap open to insert the flower seeds.

Step #4 - Insert the Seeds and Seal the Envelopes

Buy your flower seeds in bulk at your favorite home and garden store.

Please Note: My seed packets are designed for flower seeds that should be planted 1/4 inch deep. (planting instructions are printed on the back of the seed packet.)

Choose from Wildflower, Marigold, Zinnia, or Sunflower templates.

Fill each homemade envelope with desired amount of seeds and seal with a glue stick.

*You may also want to insert a note or poem inside each seed packet as a special surprise for your guests.

Step #5 - Adding Ribbons (optional)

If you want to add ribbons simply use a paper punch to make holes at the top of the seed packet. You can tie in a simple bow, (instructions coming soon), or make a ribbon loop for hanging.
