How to Make a Seed Bomb

Start by cutting each piece of paper into about 1-inch squares and put them into a small dish. We used construction paper, but you can also use old newspaper. If you use construction paper as shown here, keep each colored paper in its own dish.

Fill each dish with water just until the paper is covered. Soak the paper for about 20 minutes.

Take one of the bowls of paper and wring it out about halfway. Put it in the food processor and pulse the paper into a pulp. Repeat this with all the paper colors and put the pulp back into each of their bowls.

Sprinkle some seeds into each bowl of paper, mix them in a little, and press the pulp and seeds into balls. If the pulp is a little dry, put a few sprinkles of water on to the pulp. It will help it to hold its shape better.

Be sure to choose wildflower seeds that are native to where you live so they will grow better.

Set the seed balls on a sheet pan to dry overnight.
