No more worries about losing your seeds or getting them disorganized! Create this seed packet box craft to keep everything in order and be able to give the birds and bees in your yard (or wherever you may be) the absolute best.
A seed packet box craft that is actually sturdy!
It’s been a while since we have done a metal surface makeover! So that is what we want to do today. It is a lot of fun to do metal surfacing makeovers. Whatever we make always tends to be very durable and last a long time.
The metal box we are using is from a Canadian brewery. My sister found it and thought it would be a perfect box to upcycle. She asked me to create a box to hold gardening seeds in. I loved this idea and think that you will too. We do have a link below though if you need help finding a great metal box.
I love the ideas that she comes up with for crafts. Did you know that you can receive a box of crafty goodness on your doorstep each month like this craft? Find out more here!
