Instructions & Free Templates for Homemade Flower Seed Packets
Simple, Do-It-Yourself, Flower Seeds Packets are perfect for wedding favors, bridal showers, Earth Day celebrations, anniversary parties, or any "green" event.
I have provided free printable templates for you to print the seed packets on your own paper. I prefer to use beautiful homemade paper infused with flower petals and grasses. Get creative...recycle, the possibilities are endless!
Follow the instructions below to create your own beautiful seed packets then simply add your own flower seeds.
*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.
I also added a blank template for you to add your own text, images, or use rubber stamps to decorate.
