I started by finding different ways to make paper, I have never done so. I looked at many internet ideas and than came up with my own. I used mostly junk mail to make the paper pulp. I then got this idea from an online paper supplier to make "plantable" paper. This is where you add flower seeds to the mix.
The end product, through trial and error, was just what I wanted. I was able to create my own design the way I wanted, and my guests will be able to plant the invitation in the Spring and grow some special flowers.

This is a great idea. Go into eHow for lots of instructions on how to do this. I looked under "homemade seeded paper" lots of instructions for cards and paper appeared.

Making paper out of junk mail is fun anyway you do it. To include flower seeds in the paper so that it can be planted and enjoyed on and on put paper-making over the top. Good job Katryn. You'll get a "thumbs up" from me. Congratulations to both of you. Second time around is often times the best time around.
We wish you happiness and prosperity.
