Seed Packs



If you are in a garden club or are participating in some other seed-swapping event, you may want to take the time to make your own little seed packets. I made these last year and had quite a good time doing it.

I got the idea from this site, where the webmaster so generously shared her pattern.

You can use them as is, or do as I did and personalize with photos of the blooming flowers of the seeds within so that the recipient will know what to expect.

    Good idea! Now, what seeds can I save? I'll have to see if any of the zinnias and cosmos are left.

    Ohhh thanks for that Zoey. My 12 year old walked in just as I was looking at the seed packs and said "Cool"!! Ahh the highest form of praise. Now what seeds can I find to put in them.

    Ah! That is such a great idea! I usually just draw the packet out by hand, but printing them would be so much easier and it would give me more versatility!

    Question: a lot of inkjet printer ink runs when wet. How do you combat this?

    Sylvana, I would guess they would run when wet. I have not gotten them wet yet.

    I think it's the paper you use too. I printed out some stickers for my niece and did the 'wet test' with a wet finger and they didn't run.

    Okay, a question.
    How do I put my own photo on the package? What program do you use?
    Thank you.
