Created from "junk" paper collected by myself and with contributions from http://Crafterall.etsy.com and GP's STAR RECYCLERS (see profile for complete list).
Each tag is unique and individually made with a screen and then shaped and hand-cut into a heart and measures approx. 3" in circumference. The front of the tag is Cerise(cherry) colored and the back of the tag is Overcast (speckled grey) colored. They have a quilted like appearance and the seeds are visible giving the tags loads of visual appeal!
They have been hot pressed and dried indoors to preserve the color.
All the content is 100% recycled.
They hang with a 12" piece of hemp twine threaded through the metal eyelets.
They have been stamped on the backs with simple planting instructions using my own custom stamp made by http://terbearco.etsy.com and the official Green Post freshness stamp.

PLEASE NOTE:
Paper color may vary slightly from batch to batch due to the nature of recycled/upcycled content.
Slight discoloration on the tags may occur over time due to the natural reaction of the seeds leaching their germination inhibitor coating into the surrounding paper fibers. My intentions are for the tags to be planted within 6 months of creation and the sooner the better for successful germination.
Also, I do not add any sizing or other archival ingredients to the paper itself so that the tag will biodegrade easily and the seeds can more easily germinate.
Remember, seeds are organic living things and are subject to natural laws of change.
The seeds are viable for a year or more if they are stored in a dry, dark and cool location and are stamped on the backs with my official freshness stamp.

To plant:
In Spring, after the last frost, tear tag into small pieces and sow directly in weed-free soil; about 1/4" beneath the surface. Choose a sunny location and water daily. Soon you will have lovely wildflowers that will attract butterflies and other winged friends!
