Invites on plantable paper

MrsTinks

It made sense! You're a star thank you!

:Dthank you

it really is easy

if you were to write down the instruction to make a cup of coffee for someone who has never done it, it would sound lots, but its a simple thing to do
this is the same

it really does take minutes of actual hands on time
waiting for it to pulp overnight, and then dry at the end takes time but you are not doing anything

me thinks the shop that sells it for £20 has hooge glass windows and can see people coming


it takes approx 1p of seeds to make, and as we use junkmail thats it
last year it didnt even cost me the 1p as i harvested poppy seeds from ours

we got pots and painted them, used herb seeds instead of flowers
bagged some compost, in the pot, disk on top (we drew round the top of the pot onto the paper and cut just inside circle)
we also got a minature gardening set from the £1 shop, a tiny trowel & rake
tied with hemp string, and around the pot, cellophaned and they looked great

we managed to get a trio of enamel pots on an enamel tray, and did the same with them, but they were £3 each, still cheap but hard to find at that price

i have made business cards for a small garden centre/nursery type place as well

we use them instead of christmas cards etc

I love the idea And think it's going to be worth bribing my carpenter neighbour to make me the frames!

even if I don't make plantable paper I shall have to add it to my "things to make!" list

I recently had a go at making my own seed paper using cress seeds, it turned out quite well.
Instructions as per previous link .......

Mrs Tine
you can get 2 picture frames from the pound shop
use them back to back, so the flat edges are together

I actually used a cat litter tray to make mine .... don't worry it was new and not previously used by a kitty :rotfl:
