Decorative Seed Packets & Printable Art

In my laundry room I have wall cabinets (half solid doors and half glass doors) that I use for extra pantry storage. The solid door cabinets hold our actual backstock items, but the glass door cabinets I have filled with faux produce and herbs. I wanted to add a little bit of printable art to the display so I created these seed packet printables, check it out:

Here is the printable seed packet collection that I created for my project. It comes in two sets; one with multiple packets per page (pictured here) so that they automatically print the correct size for seed packets, and one set with one large seed packer per PDF page. I made the second, large image per page set, so that if anyone wanted to use the images as printable art the resolution would be high enough. Plus, I like being able to choose to alter my print settings to fit 8x10 or 5x7 frames and this option lets me do that.

Note: The broccoli packet in this photo has a spelling error, but the listing includes and updated version with the correct spelling.

first I cut apart my images from the printed sheet and set them aside.

Then using plain printer paper, I first folded it into thirds like this.

And then into thirds again. I just kind of winged it her, folding the thirds so that the end result was more or less the size that I wanted. Once folded I used hot glue to keep them intact.

I used one standard size sheet of printer paper for each seed packet. You don't have to go through this trouble if you don't want to, but I wanted my seed packets to be puffy like real packets might be. I figured that folded up paper would do nicely and I liked how it worked out. You could use any color or style of printer paper that you wish, or even small envelopes.

When I had enough 'packets' folded into the size that I wanted,

I then glued the cut out seed image on the front.

Here is the pile that I had once I finished.

I then tucked my packets here and there among my pantry display shelves.

Here are a few that I decided to frame.

I printed them in different sizes and added them into the display as well. You can click here if you want to see the entire display, or here if you want to see the corresponding pantry shelf.

And that's how I used my decorative seed packets.

I like the added bit of charm that they give to the cabinets!
