Love this!!!! It's a perfect solution for those tiny seeds!

Excellent and perfect idea!

All you need is a padded envelope!

It's also perfect for non-emergency seed storage! Those tiny little seeds, like poppy seeds, are a headache to deal with. Well, no longer! I've got an accident prone husband, and a cabinet full of bandaids! I'll put those wrappers to good use!

I hope it works with the Meijer brand bandages. I always have a hard time getting them to open up to use as a bandage.

The seeds do slide out easily too. I agree Marilyn, some of those bandage packages are almost impossible to open.

Love this great recycling idea! Thanks Chris!

Clever!

Thanks Mary. It's something nearly everyone probably has on hand.

Good tip! I've seen all sorts of little packets re-used... wrappers from individual teabags, drink mix packets... as you said, sometimes you just have to look around! The paper "footballs" we used to shoot across our school desks make a good little packet also, but not as flat as your bandaid wrapper.

Bandaids here are mostly opened by a 4 year old. Needless to say, their wrappers can't be recycled like this!

I'm sure those bandaid packages are a bit tattered. They can be a real pain to open sometimes.

Even if the bandaid wrapper is opened all the way, all it would take is a little tape along the sides to put it back together again! I still think this is a better idea than anything I would have thought of!

Yes, you could tape it up again very easily.

sugar packets
Sweet-n-Low packets
bill envelopes cut in half and taped, or just a corner cut off and taped

I use empty bill envelopes to dry seeds, and to store them drying slowly for a few weeks.
This is also the stage of seed saving where I sometimes lose them for months or years.

Not hard to lose those little packages!

What makes me mutter and grumble is that i seem to have no trouble keeping close track of them for months (they are always RIGHT THERE on my table with all the clutter).

Then right before I need to sow them or mail them out, guests visit ... I have to tidy up ... and the seeds are never seen again!
