Supplies to Make Seed Bombs
There are only a few simple supplies you will need to create these colorful Seed Bombs!
- Construction Paper
- Seeds – You can use flower seeds or start your very own garden with some fruit and veggie seeds!
- Silicone Mold
- Scissors
- Water
- Blender or Food Processor
Here is how to make Seed Bombs
- First you want to start by cutting your colorful construction paper into 1in X 1in squares. They totally don’t have to be perfect, they are going to be blended after all.
- Separate the colors into bowls and pour water to soak your paper.
- Let the paper soak for about 10 – 15 minutes.
4. Once the paper is nice and soaked pour the paper and water into a food processor or blender. Blend that for about 30 seconds or until mushy. You don’t want any full pieces left.
5. After the seed bomb mixture is blended nicely pour mixture into a strainer.
6. Push all the water out until the paper is crumbly and just slightly damp.
7. Pop in mixture into a silicone mold, only about HALF WAY! This is important because you will need to add your seeds.
8. Pour in the seeds of your choice and then fill the mold the rest of the way.
9. Let these dry for a couple hours and then carefully pop them out of the molds.
10. Plant them in your garden, share them with your neighbors, and ejoy!
