Supplies:

• non glossy paper, construction paper or junk mail
• container
• seeds
• water
• blender

• metal pan or tray

Steps:

1. Gather your supplies.

 
2. Tear paper into small enough pieces for the blender. Place in a container.

 

 
3. Next add plenty of water to soak paper well overnight.

 
4. Once soaked, pour all the water and paper into the blender. Spin it gently, just enough to make a pulp like consistency.

5. Get the metal pan and place a towel over it. Place the screen down as well. Remember it can be any size screen.

 

 

 
6. With the lid on the blender pour water out and carefully pull paper out. You can also use a strainer. Take the pulp and place on the screen creating a thin layer throughout. Afterwards you can either leave it flat or create seed balls. Simply sprinkle seeds generously.

 

 

 
7. Take parchment paper and cover screen. Press down or use a rolling pin to squeeze out water.

8. Lastly, let it dry. It will take several hours. Once dried you can trim it. Place in a nice bag as a gift or plant right away. This is a large version. Great for Earth Day.

 

 
9. You can make little ones too as party favors using regular white paper and cookie cutters.

 
10. To plant, place with seeds side up on top of soil. Keep soil moist but not wet. Place in sunshine. Watch the flowers grow and enjoy ! :)
