Family Home and Life: Seed Packet Template - Jcshelton's blog

With fall just around the corner ( yes it's wishful thinking!)? it will soon be time to start saving seeds from you garden. So I thought I would be real smart and make a seed template for you to print out. I?ve not made printables before and I searched high and low for a tutorial to learn how it's done. It took some work let me tell you. ?(to figure it out, for me at least) Here is the link to the one tutorial?that finally helped me in case you need one.

Seed Round Up (Graphics Fairy)

What I really want to do is learn how to create something as simple as a seed template on the computer. I had grandiose ideas of pretty vintage graphics decorating?mine but that was more than I could accomplish.??

Or a pretty frame for my seed info (Graphics Fairy)

?

I made this one (below) the old school way, drawing, tracing and cutting then scanning it into the computer. I scanned it as a photo then took it to Pixlr to add the text. It doesn?t look as slick as the other seed packet templates out there online. Is there anyone who can send me in the right direction to learn how to make one on my computer?
I made two printable seed packet templates for you to use if you like. One has a large seed packet on one page and the other has a small seed packet on one page for you to choose from. I tried to have two small packets on one page but for some reason Google would upload it as two pages with one packet on each. In Word I had two packets on one page. I have no idea what went wrong.

Here it is; they can be printed on regular printer paper or onto card stock for a sturdier packet. Pretty scrap book paper could also be used.

It would be a fun project for the kids to decorate your seed packet template before you cut it out. Let them color it with crayons, markers, or stamps if you like. I vote for small garden themed stamps J

Cut out your template and fold where you see the dotted lines in the picture. Your print out will not have the dotted lines. For a nice clean fold, use a ruler or other straight edge to fold the template over on. Glue back flaps and bottom flap down. Top can be taped or glued. If one day I learn to make a better and prettier seed packet template I'll replace this one for?you all.?And now that I have learned how to make a downloadable printable document, I can start giving you patterns on occasion?for the things I make. Like?for the?felt cupcakes I made a while back. I hope you enjoy my silly little seed packets.
