Step 1) Using a ruler for proper measurement, create a 5 x 5 square piece of seed paper. If you want your seed paper hearts to be bigger, you can increase the size but make sure the measurments are the same for each side.

Step 2) Hold the seed paper so the pointed ends are facing upwards and fold from top to bottom. Repeat on the other side to create a cross shape in the seed paper.

Step 3) Using a bone folder, press on the folded lines to ensure you’ve created a perfectly flat crease.

Step 4) Once all folds are smooth, fold the top half into an inverted triangle until it reaches the middle of the fold line. Use the bold fold for a perfectly flat crease.

Step 5) Take the bottom half and fold it until the tip reaches the top section of the folded seed paper. Use the bold fold for a perfectly flat crease.

Step 6) Carefully fold the right bottom corner towards the middle crease. Once it has aligned perfectly with the middle, use the bone fold to create a smooth crease. Repeat on the left side.

Step 7) Flip the heart shape over to the other side and carefully fold the outer corners inward so they no longer stick out. Be sure to use a bone fold for a perfect crease.

Step 8) Using a hot glue gun, carefully glue the folded pieces onto the back of the seed paper. This will make your shape look even more like a true heart so the pointed corners are no longer visable.

Step 9) Repeat the fold and glue steps for the top points of the heart shape.

Step 11) Done! Whether you insert a love note or a handful of candies inside your seed paper hearts, your loved ones will enjoy the special gift along with the wildflowers they can grow.
