Making Votive Offerings II - Seed Papers
Seed Papers
This is a great way to get rid of old papers and leftover seeds. I have a problem storing my seeds because they never seem to be as fertile the next year. If you have tips - please contact me!
So, I make seed papers and seed balls out of leftover seeds so they don’t go to waste.
Shred paper
Soak in water for as long as you want
spread on towel to dry out a bit (not completely dry or they won’t set in the mold
mix in seeds (I separate flowers from veggies - but you do you. Stick to native species.)
Use a mold or make your own shapes (this pop-out mold worked great)
set on towel to dry completely

This is 2 of 3 “Making Votive Offerings” posts sharing how I build relationship with Spirit + Land through Celtic cultural practice on Mishiike Minisi.
I used left over seed pulp from the seed papers. It added unnecesary wetness to the balls, so it’s not ideal - but was a good use of the pulp.
