I needed to mail some tiny seeds, but had no package to put them in. I began looking through my cupboards and came up with a great solution!

I found a Band-Aid and opened the top of the packet just far enough to reach in and pull out the Band-Aid.

A pen was gently inserted to make the inside of the package larger.

I removed the pen and wrote the name of the seeds on the packet.

I then poured the seeds in the packet and cut a small portion of one side of the packet off.
(Pen is shown so you can see how one short end was cut.)

Finally, the longer portion of the packet was folded over and taped shut.

Great recycling idea and it's even a sterile package!
