Newspaper Seedling Pots

1. Take a section of newspaper:

2. Cut it in half (I cut several layers at once to save time, but use only one sheet/single layer per pot):

3. Cut it in fourths:

4. Take a small round container, I used a spice jar, and roll the paper around it, leaving about an inch overhang at one end where you will fold it in for the bottom. Don’t roll too tight or it will be too hard to get the jar out later:

5. Fold the bottom in, as if you were wrapping a present:

6. Tape (masking tape would have been more biodegradable):

7. Take out the jar. Turning it right side up, fold in the edges all around the top. I then fold it in again for stability and because I want a shorter pot:

8. Repeat:
