Seed Packet Gift Wallets


Hi all, hope you are well and enjoying some late summer sun? There's something about a sunny day that gets the creative juices flowing isn't there... We've had some gorgeous days this week and i've had fun coming up with some new products the first of which i'm looking forward to showing you today :)


Seed Packet Gift Wallets


I love receiving seeds as a present, its the little gift that keeps on giving! Its such a joy when they grow into something lovely and it really does remind you of the person who gave them to you. Its nice to see more people choosing to give seed packets as favours for their wedding guests these days and i think they work just as well on other occasions too, especially marking new beginnings or memorable occasions.

So, all of this got me thinking and i decided it would be fun to come up with some seed gift wallets, just to make the gift of a packet of seeds a bit more fancy!

I've chosen three of the fabrics from my Gardeners World collection (all available to buy from my Spoonflower shop),



and paired them with hessian and unbleached organic cotton to create a rustic looking wallet with plenty of room for a seed packet or two.


Along with room for the seeds, there is an internal brown paper panel for writing a message to the recipient. I'm also offering the option to have the wallet personalised with a name on the outside.



They are available to buy now from my Etsy shop priced £5.50, or £6.25 with a name on the front. As always, i look forward to hearing what you think!

What have you been up to this week? I'm off over to Handmade Monday to find out! See you there x

  3. That's really clever! I love the idea of giving seeds as presents, I hadn't thought about that before. I would like to receive them in a little pouch like this. It could be used for all sorts of little trinkets afterwards too - a dual purpose present!

  4. what a great idea. Maing them from your own material makes a nice gift even more special.

  5. That is such a good idea. I also think that even bigger wallets, where you could perhaps store all you seed packets might be popular. It is so easy to mislay seed packets.

  9. That's a fabulous idea, I agree a slightly bigger wallet for five packets perhaps? And you could create a gift package to include a gardening apron trimmed with co-ordinating fabric? Have a great week:)
