One of my favorite gardening gadget is a stainless steel measuring spoon. I save and trade seeds, and like having 1/8 tsp, 1/16 tsp & 1 / 32 tsp.
They are great for scooping a controlled amount out of a packet or ziplock baggie, and they don't go "SPROING" as easily as plastic.
I tried making tiny scoops from chopsticks & skewers with a slice from a plastic starw taped to the end and cut on a slant. That does scoop a tiny, controlled amount, but just isn't as handy as a 1/32 tsp spoon. However, for measuring dust-like seeds, even 1/32 tsp is too big.
$5.17 for all three:
