Seed Packet Wreath Tutorial


***UPDATED 4/27/24***


We sisters love to craft together. Cathy came up with this craft idea and thought the seed packet wreath would make a great gift for Mama Sassy since she loves flowers. Mother's Day is coming soon.

It's an inexpensive gift, depending on where you buy your supplies, under $10. Rhonda picked up the 10" styrofoam wreath and the seed packs at the Dollar Tree for under $5. Cathy brought the glue gun with the glue sticks and I had the burlap ribbon in my stash of craft supplies.

What you will need:

Instructions:
  1. Wrap the wreath with the ribbon. Make sure you use glue to adhere to the ribbon at the beginning and the end.
  2. Decide how you want to place your seed packets. You can color coordinate or use a random placement.
  3. Glue the packets to the wreath.
  4. Make your bow and adhere with glue.

A Little Mother's Day History

***UPDATED 4/29/23***


Mother's Day this year is on May 10th. It's always on the second Sunday of the month of May in the U.S. We honor our mothers and those that are like our mothers on this special day but in actuality, we should honor them every day! If it wasn't for her (and of course your father) you wouldn't be here.

Celebrations of mothers and motherhood can be traced back to ancient Greeks and Romans, who would hold festivals in honor of the mother goddesses Rhea and Cybele, but the clearest modern precedent for Mother's Day is the early Christian festival known as "Mothering Sunday." The American Mother's Day was created by Anna Jarvis in 1908 and became an official US holiday in 1914. 

Another well-known woman, Julia Ward Howe, who's best known for writing the "Battle Hymn of the Republic", in 1870 wrote the "Mother's Day Proclamation," a call to action that asked mothers to unite in promoting world peace. In 1873, Howe campaigned for a "Mother's Peace Day" to be celebrated every June 2. The duo of Mary Towles Sasseen and Frank Hering, meanwhile, both worked to organize a Mothers’ Day in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Some have even called Hering “the father of Mothers’ Day.”

Other early Mother's Day pioneers include Juliet Calhoun Blakely, a temperance activist who inspired a local Mother's Day in Albion, Michigan, in the 1870s.



As a kid, I always loved to make cards and buy or make something for my mom. Those are special memories that I will cherish. I'm blessed to have a mom that is thoughtful, loving and non-judgmental and loves me for who I am. I don't get to see her often, but soon that will be changing as she is moving back to Virginia very soon.
