I planted some seeds today, not sure if that was a good idea but it is 75 here today. Anyway I save the seed packets, they are to pretty to throw away. Posted a picture. Any good ideas on what to do with them? The little watering can and rabbit are from the thrift.

I love the rabbit! So cute! You can always frame the seed packets. Maybe even laminate them & turn them into magnets or bookmarks?

Decopage them onto flat rocks then you have more flowers. I have been doing this with a lot of pictures but I still need to figure out how to make them waterproof and sunproof so I can put them in the garden and other outside places.

Hey Laura, Mod Podge makes an outdoor version that works really great. Ive used it when I decoupaged some flower pots for outside & they've lasted for 2 years so far!

Hey, you could use that outdoor modpodge to decoupage the seed packets onto small flower pots. I bet they'd be super cute.

I have always loved seed packets! Especially some of the "heritage" seeds. Very suitable for framing, don't ya think?
