Garden Party Favors

Seeds_low-107
Garden season is in full swing and I've been thinking about having a small luncheon out on the back patio. I thought these simple seed packet favors would be nice to send home with my guests. They're very easy to make and budget friendly. Oh, and you all know how much I adore repackaging things! 😉

Supplies: Your choice of assorted seeds, twine, small wax, paper or glassine bags, adhesive labels, scissors and a pencil or pen.

Cut a small portion of the seed packet label off the top. I think it looks nice to leave a little bit of the photo of the plant too. You can tape or glue the planting instructions to the back of the label.

Slip it into the wax bag, add the seeds and seal. Repeat with the other packets.

Stack your seed packets, wrap several times with the twine and tie a small knot.

Add your label. I chose to name my "summer herbs" since the seeds I chose are used in lots of summer recipes and meals. And once planted, they'll be ready to harvest in the summer. 

I also came across these beautiful seed packets which are wonderful just on their own. They're certified organic by Seeds of Change. (I'm planting both of these!)

    I love this idea and the wax bags. I have been looking for some fun small bags to sell my lavender in and these are perfect. As usual, you are the perfect resource!

    I guess I really need to replicate this idea for our farmers’ association.
