Pretty Seed Packets

Because I love ya, I made a little present this morning for those of you who collect and save their own garden and flower seeds.  There are many ways to save seeds from your favorite flowers and vegetables and why not be ready in advance? 

 

These seed packets are super easy.  Just right click and print the picture below.  They are best printed on card stock and prettiest with a color printer.  I, for one, think they are just gorgeous!  Make as many as you want. Simply print, cut out, glue stick or tape the edges and corners and you are done!  You can even close the top flap with a pretty sticker.  If you cannot right click and print, you can find the pdf version by clicking HERE.

  

 

Don't you love it when I make presents for you?  I do, I have so much fun making this stuff.  Enjoy!

 

Here are some other posts of mine that have seed packet templates.

As if they weren't already pretty!

While getting ready for my Jam Session photo shoot today, for the look book for the class in two weeks, I decided the jars of jam needed to be a little prettier.  This is the simplest thing to do when you want to give your accomplishments away to the most prestigious of friends.  Prestigious because they are worthy of your home canned products!  Always make sure you have more on hand for just these sort of people when they pop over.

Here's how to dress them up a bit, as if they weren't pretty already!

Skim through your scrap fabric and pick something pretty.  If you don't have scrap fabric you can easily, quickly and cheaply get remnants (scrap pieces) at any place that sells fabric.  They want to get rid of the scraps and for this ... you want them to... it's a win/win!

Using a round bowl, trace the circumference of the bowl onto the inside of the fabric with a pencil.

Cut out the circle with scissors (like you didn't know that!)  Use a rubber band to hold the fabric on the top of the jar of canned goodness.  Tie a piece of ribbon, rickrack, dental floss, or whatever you want to keep the material in place and look purdy.

You can even tie on a label of what the contents of your jar is if you want.  Which I did not do here.  Just thought I'd tell ya.

Canned beauty!
