Description

This is a seed starting soil pot maker that utilizes old newspaper, or any NON GLOSSY paper to make small pots to start seeds in. Use a 3.5" x 11" piece of paper for best results. 

I printed this using Polymaker's Polyterra Eco-Friendly PLA to lessen my environmental impact! 

Usage: 

  • Step 1: Cut strip of paper 3.5" x 11" (89mm x 280mm)
  • Step 2: Wrap paper strip around handle
  • Step 3: Fold bottom of strip over handle end
  • Step 4: Push handle and paper into base and twist several times
  • Step 5: Remove newly formed paper pot and fill with potting soil
  • Step 6:  Plant seed and grow things!
  • Step 7: #HackTheWorld & #MakeAwesome!!!!
