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.

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.

(seed packet wedding favor poem samples are at the bottom of this lens: )

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.
