I had to come up with a cute adorable, free printable tag for myself to put on these cute little spring favours. These are what I came up with..
Thanks for viewing, I would love to hear about or see any attempts at this project, or if you have any ideas on how I could have done it better/easier. Thanks and I hope you enjoyed.
After making sure my seeds were now safe and sound in their new homes I placed them into their designated peat pots that I labeled accordingly earlier.
Once in their pots, I then placed the pots into a clear party bag then tied it shut with my blue ribbon where they are now just waiting for me to print off and attach tags and be given out at the baby shower as favours.
Once my peat pellets were dry, I poked a hole into the top of each one and placed several seeds into the crater I had made with my finger.
Once satisfied with the amount of seeds I had placed in the hole I wiggled the dirt a bit to loosen it up and cover the seeds. I then pressed the soil down to make sure no seeds would fall out if tipped over.
Next I hydrated the amount of peat pellets I needed.
**This is where the time wasting part comes in.**
Then I had to allow them to dry out before I could use them, seeing I wanted the guests to be able to grow the flowers themselves.
This for me took about 5 days, and halfway through that waiting period I flipped them over so I knew they would be completely dry.
Although while I waited for them to dry out, I took my peat pots and labeled on them what type of flower they would be.
So this was my little DIY project, for cheap, homemade baby shower favours. **NOTE: this is not a simple overnighter, this is a lengthly process.
Heres what I used, and how much I paid for each (before tax):
Jiffy 2in Round Peat Pots -> $2.29
(26 pack)
Jiffy Peat Pellets ->$3.99
(36 pack)
Flower Seeds ->$1.50
(I bought 3 different kinds)
Ribbon ->$1.25
Clear Party Bags ->$1.25
So my total before tax was: $13.28
