A gardeners DIY seed packet

At some point in time many gardeners will get the seed saving disease, so here I present a cure. A warning must be issued at this point:

WARNING: The following cure, if made in excess may lead to a home over run with seeds and your significant other forever lost amongst them!  

 Many gardeners (and aspiring gardeners out there) will find this DIY seed packet comes in handy. I have used this not only for seeds but also for beads, small nails and even earrings.  This packet is soo easy my kids can make them and once you know this trick you'll be making them in the dark, blindfolded with your hands tied behind your back! (well you get the idea) This will become your preferred seed storage method, so go grab a regular sheet of paper (8.5" X 11") and some scissors and we'll get started.

 

First fold paper to square it off as shown and cut off excess. The bottom of the seed packet is the long folded end you just made.

 

You will then fold the bottom edge in thirds.

 Take one of the folded points and slip it inside the other. It should then look like pic on right.

Take the bottom and fold it up to where the folds come to a point.

 Then fold the top points down over the top.

Separate the top points to place the seed inside (where the leaf is shown in pic).

To close securely: In the pic notice the space at the bottom of packet- that is where the top points will be slipped into. Tip: When removing the top points you can accidentally rip the diagonal fold inside it and you may want to put a piece of tape inside the space or just switch the corner points ( I showed you placing right into left pics #4 & 5).

  

Hope this gardeners tip comes in handy for you!
