Nature dazzles us with its colors in every season: from the shimmering autumn leaves to the bright spring. Creating a plantable card is both a fun and eco-friendly activity, allowing you to recycle paper while offering an original gift. Once planted, these cards reveal flowers or aromatic herbs. Do you want to do it with us?
Make, give and plant!
Creating plantable cards is one way original et responsible de share a little of day with those we love. Offering such a card is offering a living gift that will evolve over time. Here's how to make them in 6 simple steps to offer a symbol of patience and beauty.
Manufacturing steps
01
Preparation of the paper pulp
Tear the paper into small pieces and place them in a bowl. Cover them with warm water and let them soak for about 10 minutes to soften them.
02
Mixing
Using an immersion blender, blend the mixture into a smooth paste. If necessary, add a little water to facilitate blending.
03
Leaf formation
Spread a clean cloth on a flat surface. Pour the paper pulp onto the cloth, forming an even layer about 1 cm thick.
04
Adding seeds
Sprinkle the seeds evenly over the still-damp dough. Press lightly with a spoon to gently press them into the dough.
05
Drying
Cover the dough with a bath towel to absorb excess water. Let it air dry for 24 hours or until the sheet is completely dry and rigid.
06
Finish
Once dry, cut the sheet into desired shapes (hearts, stars, rectangles) and glue them onto cardstock. Personalize your cards by adding messages or drawings.
Offer, plant, water and admire!
To enjoy your plantable card, simply place it on soil, cover lightly with potting soil, and water regularly. The seeds will germinate and grow into beautiful plants, extending the joy of giving and receiving.
This activity is ideal for raising awareness among young and old about recycling and nature, while creating lasting memories.
