Put your mixture onto the mesh and spread it out evenly, making it as thin as possible. Leave it to dry overnight or for about 12 hours, in a dark spot so that the seeds don't sprout.

After your paper is done drying you can take it off the mesh and cut it into various shapes. There are also many great projects you can do with this paper. Here are some ideas: (1)Cut out a rectangle. Then cut a piece of paper the same width as the rectangle and staple it to the top of the rectangle. Write a message on the front of the paper such as "Happy Mother's day" or "I am sorry for your loss" and on the back write "For your garden, in remembrance". (2)Cut out a heart to give someone for a valentine's gift.
