What do you store your seeds in?
I've been on the lookout for some interesting envelops
to store mine in from one year to the next.
Someone told me paper was the best thing
to use to keep your seeds healthy.
When you can't find what you want...
just make it!
What do you think of my seed sack clothes line?This is the inside of my
craft closet door.
Last time I was at Tuesday Morning I found somepaper products on their clearance isle.
I grabbed a couple of packs of scrapbook paper
and some drawer liner paper.
At the time I didn't have a plan,
I just bought it because it was such a good deal.
I'm thinking nowI might try to fashion some origami cranes
from the drawer liner paper.
I started my seed sacks using a sheet of doubleprinted 8x8 paper.
Decided on the width and folded in.
Folded in the remaining edge.
I wanted my sacks to be four and a half incheswide so I did some measuring and allowed
for a half inch seam allowance.
Did some cutting and rounded the corners.
Folded in for gluing.
I used my newest best friend
Mod Podge.
Wrote out some labels.
So there you have it...
Wrote out some labels.I decided not to attach them.
This way I can reuse.
So there you have it...
all that's left is the clean up.

I will be linking to some fabulous parties at:
They are beautiful! That is such a great idea to save them like that too! I have seeds from last year that didn't get planted because we had too much rain and then it was too wet and then it was too late to plant them. The seeds I have are veggie seeds. I hope I can use them this year and they will still produce!

OH my gosh! You like Hyacinth Bean Vines too? Aren't they just wonderful with their sweet pea-like purpley flowers? Your seed envelopes are wonderful too. Great idea.

I not only like the usefulness of them (is that a word usefulness) I also think they're pretty. And I go to Tuesday Morning, not often enough, but I didn't know they sold these papers so thanks. I'm gonna look next time. Happy Valentine's Day -- Terri www.morningdewdrops.typepad.com
