Seed Paper class @ Payette's School of Dance
Tickets
Feb 24 @ 6:30 pm

Make your own Seed Paper
Spring will be here soon (hopefully). So join us for this fun class making your very own seed paper! Seed paper is fun to make and easy to grow. You can use your paper as a card or gift for a plant loving friend, or use it to grow your own wildflower garden. Choose from a variety of paper colors and seeds to make your very own unique creation. Paper takes at least 24 hours to dry, so please plan on either coming back to the studio to pick up your finished creation, or bring a towel and box to transport it home while wet. $10/person. Includes all supplies needed to make several sheets of seed paper to take home. Learners may make as many sheets as time allows.
