Hello, welcome to The Untidy Artist, today I'll be showing you, how to make seed bombs and I have my special guest host Woofy with me, my son, helping me out today. Let's grab our supplies, you'll need:

1. 1
   3 to 4 pieces of scratch colored paper and a full page of newspaper

   Some wildflower seeds

3. 3
   A silicon mold (I got mine from IKEA) and a sponge

   

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
4. 4
   A small strainer and a bowl to catch the water

   

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
5. 5
   A small bowl to put our seed bomb mixture in, and an old piece of a T-Shirt

   

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
6. 6
   2 cups of water and your blender

   

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help

1. 1
   The first step is to shred all of your papers, obviously if you have a paper shredder this step is a lot easier, but, this was something that my son had a lot of fun helping me do

   .

2. 2
   Just rip off all of your paper and get it into small pieces when you're finished give it a good mix and put it right into your blender

   .

   

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
3. 3
   Then we're going to take our 2 cups of water and dump it in over the paper, you want to completely cover the paper, so if it doesn't, you can always add a little bit more water

   .

   Use hot water.

4. 4
   And now you let it sit for 10 minutes

   .

   After the 10 minutes are up, turn on your blender and mix your paper into a paper pulp.

   

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
5. 5
   Then take your piece of a cloth, mine is a piece of an old T-shirt and dump in your pulp mixture

   .

6. 6
   Then add one to 2 teaspoons of seeds, you don't want to add too many seeds or they won't grow as well

   .

   Give it a good mix! The smaller seeds form into the mold better, so try and find a mix that has mostly small seeds.

   

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
7. 7
   Now is time to squeeze all of the water out of your seed mixture

   

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
8. 8
   Once you have the water out it's time to form in your seed bombs

   .

   So we're going to take little balls and push them into this silicone mold. If you don't have a mold you can actually just make them into balls in your hand too. That works well too. You can also use just newspaper or colored paper. There are a lot of different variations.

   

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
9. 9
   Once you have the mold full, take a sponge and you want to make sure that all the water is pressed out of your little seed bombs

   .

   

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
10. 10
    Finally, you let it dry overnight, once they're dry, pop them out of the mold and Tada

    !

    You have seed bombs
