Make Your Own Seed Paper with Jess
Event description
Making your own paper is a really lovely activity. For a start, it's fun to make the paper pulp, and it's satisfying to create something that's zero waste. Adding seeds into the mix means we can give little gifts and cards that will grow!
Of course paper and cardboard can be recycled, but kerbside recycling has it's own carbon footprint. Making your own paper puts these paper scraps to pleasing use through a very simple process. Homemade paper has a wonderful texture, and adds a personal touch to gifts and cards.
So come and learn to make your own seeds paper, and you can put it to use again and again in a variety of forms - gift tags, wedding invitations, ornaments and bunting, cards, even eco confetti!
