That's true, dust-like seeds have "static cling". Once I bought some stamp-collector-type glassine envelopes, but I had to cut them down and use Scotch Tape to make them small enough. At that point, they are no more convenient than waxed paper. And those glassine envies are expensive!

Someone told me that she saves used dryer sheets, for reducing static cling while drying clothes. She rubbed anti-static sheets on the OUTSIDE of plastic bags containing dust-like-seeds, before opening them. She said it made the seeds lie down instead of jumping out of the bag. I haven't tried that.
