Instructions
 

  • Pinch off small pieces of air dry clay.
    We want to have enough clay to finish with a ball about 1- 1.5” in diameter. Use your thumb to shape the clay into a small bowl. They don't have to be perfect - have fun.

  • Mix your flower seeds (or herbs) together in another cup. I like to mix large and small seeds together.
    You can use any type but choose something easy to grow in your region. Place a small pinch of seeds in each clay bowl.

  • Now, let's add a little potting soil - any type will do.
    Add a teaspoon (or so) of potting mix on top of the seeds. And use your fingers to pinch the clay bowl closed, incorporating the soil and seeds into the clay mixture.

  • Gently roll the clay seed bomb in loose potting soil. This natural soil covering will help nourish the seeds as they grow and give your seed bombs a more natural look.
