Begin by tearing your tissue paper up into small 1 x 1 inch pieces. Measurements do not have to be exact, but this should just give you a general idea of what the size should be.
Place the torn tissue into your bowl. Add a teaspoon of water. Begin mushing and smooshing the paper into the water until all of the pieces are damp. If your mixture is too watery, add more paper pieces. If your paper is still too dry, add another splash of water. Sprinkle flower seeds into the bowl. Add as much as you wish. Now, ball the mixture up in your hand and roll it into a ball. Continue to wring out any extra water and shape the ball as shown. Once you have a nice even shape, take a few pieces of clean tissue paper and dampen them. Wrap them around the outside of the ball to give it a smooth and clean finish. Now all you have to do is set the homemade flower seed bombs on a plate to dry. They may take up to 24 hours to dry out as needed. When you are ready to use your homemade flower seed bombs, simply bury them in nutrient rich soil, water, and grow! You can bag these up to give as Mother’s Day gifts, party favors, even wedding favors. They are so easy and inexpensive to make. So gather up your supplies and give these simple homemade flower seed bombs a try! |
