From blogger Julia, the homemade paper craft is fun and easy to do while also [recycling old paper materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/by-osmosis) at the same time. The plantable seed paper can be planted after it's used, making it doubly recycled and turning what used to be a tree back into a plant, flowers or herbs. In hers, Julia used wildflower seeds, but you could substitute for whatever seeds you like. In addition to paper materials you have lying around, you will also need a blender, cake pan or container, frame, two kitchen towels, rolling pin or glass jar, water and wire mesh. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **DIY Plantable Paper:** The DIY plantable paper trend is disrupting traditional paper making methods by incorporating recycling and sustainability in a creative way. - **Earth-friendly Crafting:** The Earth-friendly crafting trend is disrupting the hobby industry by promoting eco-friendly alternatives to conventional crafting supplies. - **Seed-infused Materials:** The seed-infused materials trend is disrupting manufacturing industries by offering sustainable, biodegradable and eco-friendly alternatives. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Craft Industry:** The craft industry can use DIY plantable paper to offer more eco-friendly options for their customers and reduce their carbon footprint. - **Paper Industry:** The paper industry can incorporate the seed-infused materials trend to offer more sustainable options and promote environmental responsibility. - **Garden Industry:** The garden industry can utilize the DIY plantable paper trend to offer more innovative and sustainable gardening solutions for their customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Eco-Friendly Pencils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprout-worlds-plantable-pencils.md) - [Festive Plantable Pencils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantable-pencils.md) - [Zero-Waste Seedling Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bough-pot.md) - [Plantable Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/igreen-cover.md) - [Biodegradable Growing Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sow-co-bonsai-tree.md) - [DIY Floral Tea Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herbal-tea-seed-kit.md) - [Eco Colourful Flower Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grow-colors.md) - [3D-Printed Reforestation Seed Balls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disperseed.md) - [Eco-Friendly Wrapping Papers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dissolvable-gift-wrap.md)
