If you are looking for a cost effective, easy to make and eco friendly wedding favor then you've found it! These little seed packets are easy to make and also a lovely reminder of your wedding day for your family and friends to enjoy.

What you need:

You will need to collect the cardboard tubes from toilet rolls or rolls of kitchen paper ,

A few packets of seeds,

some stamps or ribbons, markers etc to decorate,

and a stapler.

How to Make:

for each paper towel roll you'll get three, about 3" wide seed packets. You can make them samller if you like, this will depend on your seeds and how much you are giving. Flatten the rolls, measure how big you want them and cut, then stamp to decorate and decorated in whichever way you prefer, staple one side, add your seeds then staple the other side.Bigger seeds such as sunflower seeds work best if you are just satpling or you could insert a full packet of small seeds if prefered. The seeds shown are Four O' Clock flower seed for a wedding that starts at four o clock!

Easy D.i.Y Favor boxes!

I came across this tutorial on you tube recently while looking for a way to make a box for a small christmas present, I think it it so easy anyone can do it and it struck me that it would be a great way for someone on a budget to make their own favor boxes at only a fractio of the price! If you have a good art supplies shop near you you can buy some really pretty card stock or just get plain and print a pattern on it from your p.c, you can always pretty them up afterwards with some pretty ribbons and samll silk flowers etc, this tutorial makes a fairly big box for favors but when you get used to making them you can easily modify it to suit the size you need.

Have Fun! Moe
