Looking to add a touch of charm to your garden this year? Don't toss those seed packets just yet! As avid gardeners, we know how quickly they accumulate. Instead, let's repurpose them into something delightful – seed packet bunting!
All you need is a handful of empty seed packets, worsted weight string or jute, scissors, and a paper hole punch.
Here's how to do it:
Trimming the Packets: Carefully cut a triangle out of the bottom of each empty seed packet, ensuring the tails are even.
Making Holes: Punch two holes at the top of each packet using a paper hole punch.
Stringing Together: Cut a piece of string – I recommend worsted weight yarn or jute – and thread the packets onto it one by one. For a balanced look, alternate the threading pattern.
Optional: Laminating for Durability: To make the bunting more water-resistant, consider laminating the seed packets. This not only protects them but also makes them suitable for use on farm stands, coops, or within your garden.
This craft isn't just for adults – it's perfect for involving kids too! Not only does it provide a creative outlet, but it also helps improve fine motor skills.
So, before you toss those seed packets away, give them a new lease of life with this fun and eco-friendly DIY project.
