OUGD504: SB4- Research Part 2

Knowing that I want hand made paper filled with seeds to be a key part of my printed campaign I thought it would be best to find out if seed filled paper can be bought or how to make it. 

Instructables gives step by step instructions on how to make paper, but it requires a mild and blender. I want to see if there are easier ways to make this.



Botanical Paper Works not only seek seeded paper with wildflower seeds at a reasonable price but also ones in many different colours at 8.5x11" size. Depending on the delivery time this may be the easiest way to get the stocks I need.



Paper Slurry also give instructions on how to make handmade paper. This method too requires moulds and a blender which may be an annoyance but the rough edges look so very pretty and I think there's something charming about the idea of it. Its just weather it's practical to do so.



The David Suzuki Foundation gives instructions on how to make handmade seed paper, which is wonderful. It also says that a blender isn't necessary so that's certainly an easier method by the looks of it. The instructions give clear direction when it comes to the types of seeds to use and gives the option of using an old picture frame as the mould.
