For my own wedding in 2007, I created seed packet wedding favors with wildflower seeds. And then I found myself creating them again and again for various occasions, both happy and sad. The photos shown are of a packet for my Mommom’s memorial service. She was a beautiful lady, dearly missed, and I think she would have loved these little favors.
Using the seed packet templates from my Print & Party Shop you can easily create your own amazing little packets for any occasion. The process is pretty simple… order your custom packet design then get to assembling.
Once you have printed your packets (I recommend printing on glossy text-weight paper) and carefully cut each one out, you can start assembling them. Using an engineering ruler line up the cut edges of your packet (where you want the fold to be) and fold the tab up.
The engineering ruler is perfect for getting a nice clean fold. You’ll want to pre-fold both side flaps and the bottom flap.
Fold the left “back flap” over. Apply a strip of double sided sticky tape to the right side flap (or use a glue stick) and fold over, pressing firmly to secure. Repeat with the bottom flap. (If you look closely you can see my sticky tape along the bottom). Fold up the bottom flap.
You can now fill your packet with seeds. Once filled, fold the top flap to close the packet, and seal with a sticker or your adhesive (or use washi tape as I did). The washi tape is nice since it allows the packet to be resealed.
These packets were printed on text weight (~32lb) glossy paper. I think this gives the most realistic seed-packet look. However, most home inkjet printers cannot print on glossy text weight paper, so you may want to opt for having a print shop or copy center run them off for you.
We recently installed the countertops and pretty white sink we purchased last February (yay!) and I wanted to update our plastic hand soap bottle a bit. This was a quick little project using Cricut Removable Vinyl. I love this stuff! I have used it on our chalkboard panty door during the Holidays and it looks…
When I first launched my print and party shop on Etsy back in 2010 (wow, almost 5 years ago!) my Lace Mason Jar design quickly became my signature invitation and I happily added more flower choices as brides requested them. Whether you are planning a garden inspired wedding, a floral themed bridal shower, brunch or…
I adore footprint art — it’s meaningful and sentimental and fun for the kids! I’m afraid my 4 year old’s footprint is almost too big (Waaaa!) but we made it work and her giggles while painting the bottom of her ticklish foot are priceless! This little craft is super simple — print the file on…
It’s no secret that I absolutely adore mason jars. I use them for drinking glasses, for vases, for storing my dry baking ingredients and planting herbs. They were the centerpieces at my wedding reception, filled with wheat and wildflowers and accented with half-pint candles. So maybe I went a little overboard with my mason jar…
I am so tickled to be part of a beautiful bridal shower styled by Double the Fun Parties! Jennifer contacted me about designing our “Vintage Kraft and Lace Doily Invite” (shown below) in a custom color, along with a few other printed items. [clearboth] Here is the final invite, love that white frame! Head on…
There is something so magical about a snow globe, and these Winter Wonderland invites are no exception! My little guy was a January baby, and I have a new little nephew on the way this January. Perfect for a winter ONEderland themed celebration, or even if your child is older, the birthday invitation can be…
