Seed Bombs, DIY

Seed bombs, as previously mentioned, are a great way to sneakily brighten up our world. Throw them into a sad empty lot, quickly toss them off onto the sides of the road, or spread them around your backyard. Essentially a seed bomb is just as it sounds...a super packed ball of seeds ready to explode into a bouquet of wild flowers. Yes you can buy them, but theyre pretty simple to make, and why not prep for the warmer months now?

What you'll need: old newspapers, water, seeds, cheesecloth or a thin rag, immersion blender.

SIMPLY: Shred old newspapers, mix with water, blend until lumpy, gray, unappetizing consistency. Wrap in rag, wring out excess water, press in seeds (about 2 teaspoons of seeds for every sheet of newspaper). Roll in balls, or press into cutely-shaped ice cube trays (these can be purchased at any dollar store), or an empty egg tray. Leave to dry. Make sure they dry quickly, as otherwise they may start to sprout on their own.

Package back in egg trays with a ribbon for a perfect present.

**Note: If following the above recipe, your seed bombs will turn out a muuuch lighter color than these pictured. They should dry into a heather gray.
