Seed Envelopes
Made from Recycled Seed Catalogs or Gardening Magazines
While researching ideas for an article about recycling seed catalogs, I came upon a garden forum where they talked about making seed envelopes from the pages of seed and plant catalogs. I thought this was a great idea and decided it deserved a page on this site as well.
For the tutorial, I chose to use white paper so that you can see the folds easier, but aren't they pretty when made from colorful sheets of paper or catalog pages?

Step 1
Cut a square piece of paper that is 3-1/2" x 3-1/2". I like to use a paper cuter because there are measurements right on it to make it easier and exact.
Step 2
Fold the paper into a triangle.
Step 3
Fold down the middle point about 3/4 of the way towards the fold.
Step 4
Take the remaining two points that are opposite each other and fold them inward to form an envelope shape.
Step 5
Insert seeds between the flaps and fold over. Use a piece of tape or small sticker to secure the flaps.
