The best part? I got to get crafty and make the favors.
Now, if you know me, you know that I am not the most DIY talented person…but this favor was something that ANYONE can do.
I did a quick Google search and found these little beauties.
Again, so easy, even I was able to do it…with some help from my amazing friends Vanessa and Tina. Thanks, Ladies!
Piles of seed packets….
Here’s what I came up with to go along with the seed packets.
I know, super corny.
These were actually pretty fun to make and did not break the bank. A great idea for upcycling.
The best part? We get to use all of the leftover cardboard cylinders for starting seeds. Win!
What did I use?
- Cardboard tubes from Paper Towel/TP Rolls (Free from friends!)
- Ribbon
- Cardstock
- Fun Purple Paper
- Staples
- Glue Tape
- Scissors
- Seeds (Free from Farmer Ben)
- A few different stamps and purple ink
- A purple marker for marking packets by type
After you have all of your pieces, just tie them together with a pretty ribbon.
And enjoy!
