Before ordering seeds I need to organize the seeds I have to determine what I want more of and what I don't need. Last year I stored all my seeds in a Ziploc bag but this year I decided I wanted something that kept them sorted and more organized.
I went to the craft store in search of an inexpensive recipe box to put the seeds in but instead found this box. It was only $3, cheaper than the recipe boxes, deeper than a recipe box, sturdier, and has a clasp so that the packets won't tumble out if it accidentally gets dropped or jostled around.
For now I have pieces of left over card stock from other projects as dividers between groups and filling tabs as labels. I would like to have dividers that fit properly but these work for now. I have already filled this one up so I might just have to go get another.
I was thinking I could use old seed packets to decoupage onto the box. Although these are the only seed packets I have left. There isn't much variety in them and I write the year they were bought on the outside so I am not thrilled with my selection. I am tempted to go buy packets that look pretty just to use for this project which would make an inexpensive project pricier.
What a great idea -- mine are all in ziploc bags and they are a mess !!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I have a similar box but it is much smaller and I'm starting to run out of room. I'll have to see if I can find one like yours.
