Despite the cold and snow, I’m thinking spring! Today, I can’t wait to show you how to make easy vintage seed packet crafts. I’m day dreaming about gardening, and there’s something about displaying these seed packets with beautiful vintage florals that just brightens up my mood.
How to Make Easy Vintage Seed Packet Crafts

Select Your Seed Printables
Beautiful vintage seed packet printables can be found in so many places. I purchased THIS printable from Etsy for only $5 and it includes 24 different designs. There are several other varieties available on Etsy, and I even found THIS one on Amazon that comes in the form of stickers, so you don’t even have to apply adhesive!
Some Vintage Seed Packet Options
Print and Cut

Decide what size you want your designs to be and adjust your print outs accordingly. The set of 24 that I purchased from Etsy came as jpg images, 8 to a page x 3 pages. It was easy to clip out one image at a time, adjust it to the size I wanted and print. You could also print out all 8 on one page, but they would be slightly smaller than a typical seed packet, which is generally 3.25″ by 4.5″.
For this project, I printed mine on just regular computer paper, since I was gluing them onto another surface.
Glue to Real Seed Packets or Seed Envelopes
For my “vintage” seed packets, I simply bought real seed packets at the Dollar Tree for a quarter each. Then, I used Mod Podge to attach my printed vintage seed label to the top. Easy Peasy.
If you think the image for the real seed packet might show through, you could glue an extra piece of paper behind the vintage label as shown. This step might also work well if your seed packet is slightly larger than your printable, and you don’t want the edges of the newer packet to show.

I selected this particular printable because it included vintage seed packets from Iowa. 💕🌷
Other Seed Envelope Options
If you don’t want to use real seed packets, you could certainly purchase brown paper seed envelopes like THESE, or even make your own envelopes using a free printable template. I kind of liked have real seeds in mine to add to the authenticity though, and you can’t beat 25 cents each at Dollar Tree!
Display
I love how this easy little craft, some flowers, and few simple accessories makes the perfect vignette with so much spring sweetness!

How to Make an Easy Vintage Seed Packet Banner Craft
Another way to display your vintage seed packet printables is to link them together to form a pretty banner. For this project, I printed my labels on cardstock instead of paper, to give them a bit more structure.
After cutting them out, I punched two holes in the top of each one and fed a long piece of twine through the holes. That’s it!
I attached it to my antique corner cabinet just to photograph it, but I have another purpose in mind for this banner, and can’t wait to show that to you soon!

Oh my Niky, I love these vintage seed packets. Great idea gluing them to seed packets. I also like the banner idea. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much, Cara. 🙂
Love these ideas! Especially that banner. So sweet and Springy. Thanks for sharing. 😉
This are so cute and so many ways to display them for spring .
So cute! I made a similar seed packet garland last year; it has a great cottage/farmhouse/vintage vibe. I have black thumbs but loves flowers–and veggies and have never given up!
Niky, I’m having a garden party in May, and will definitely be using this idea for my guests! They are so very cute 🙂

I love this sooooo much! I am going to have to do this to decorate! And, I have a friend with a birthday in a few days and you, my friend, have inspired a birthday gift for her. Love hopping with you this weekend!
This is a really pretty idea for Spring. I want to make something similar for my she shed. Thanks for the idea.
I love this idea! My vintage loving heart needs to make this craft to use for spring decorating.
Oh how this reminds me of my Grandma, who taught me how to garden. What a perfect idea, to use them as a display. I had never thought of that before, but it would fit in so perfectly with my decor.
What a great idea, I’ve only created one project with seed packets but now I’m inspired to create more. Thank you for sharing and wonderful hopping with you.
Thanks, Chas! Happy weekend!
These seed packets are simply adorable! Thank you for sharing your ideas! You have given me an idea on how to display some of my vintage seed packets! I love how you found some that say Pella Iowa!
Thanks, Kimberly! I wish I had some REAL vintage seed packets!
They are adorable. I love how you can do many things with the printables. Love the banner idea. Great idea!
Thanks, Maria!
