    Rip the newspapers apart, add some water ant put it all in the blender. If you want to add some colour, mix food colouring into the pulp.

  2. Put the pulp in a flat sieve, sprinkle it with seeds and press out the water. Leave it to dry for at least a night. If you don't have the time, you can use your oven (50°C) to speed up the procedure.

  3. Print out the word you want and cut it out. Trace the outlines onto your seed paper using a pencil then cut it out.
