Paper pots

I haven't posted as often, but that just means I have been crafting away :) We are on spring break and have been outside most of each day enjoy this great florida weather We also just started a container garden in our backyard on the patio. It's been fun to watch seeds grow into little plants. My kids really enjoy this project too. I'll be sure to post photos of our garden and the ladybugs we added to it.

Now more about this project. I received a trial issue of "organic gardening" magazine and really enjoyed reading it. Might have to subscribe now. One article demonstrates how to make paper pots for sowing seeds in. The pots are cute and a great way to recycle paper. Then I thought why not make little boxes instead? Using origami techniques, I made square and rectangle boxes from recycled computer paper. Very simple, and sturdy to sow seeds in. I can post a link to the instructions to share so you can try them too. Now I off to go play in the dirt with my kiddos on our last day of spring break.
