I printed off a DIY seed packet pattern and was gonna make them with mag pages, but came across my scrapbook paper (that I have never, and will never use because I have waaay too much) so...I can get 4 seed packs out of 1 - 12 by 12 inch piece of SB paper.....And you can buy the cute "Miss Elizabth's" SB paper at Dollar tree (6 sheets $1) so that's 24 packets for $1 if you don't already have a huge stash of it like I do.....just a thought....but remember...it is always better to recycle if you can...lol....but for you farmgirls who want "CUTE" seed packets...it's an idea!!

Alright...gonna play stupid....I would like to know what all this is. I soooooo wanna start doing gardening, but don't have much of a green thumb, and need to learn the terms and stuff. Maybe if I could see things people talk about, I would understand more. And since your so close to me, maybe you can help out and send me pics or something.

P.S. Send you a message, did you get it??

Kelley, What a great idea. I too have lots of SB paper that I am always looking gor different uses for. Don't have any seeds yet but am working on it. By the way, I looked you up on the TX map and you are really not that far from BeccaRoo. Hope you two can meet up some day. If you ever need to e-mail me I am at glendagoldenbp@yahoo.com.

Thanks

When I do mine, I attach either a plain label, blank piece of plain cardstock, or a tag so the person can label them.

I do mine on my cricut, and can get 6 small (about 2 1/2") or 4 large (3 1/2")

I have been using my stash of scrapbook paper, but will start to reuse the seed catalogs and other magazines - great idea!
