Sturdy Recycled Newspaper Pots

Many of our seedlings have now outgrown the seed starter trays and pots we made from empty toilet paper rolls. However, they still need to be hardened off. Also, though it's really warm compared to the snowy weather we had less than a month ago, the temperatures aren't consistently warm enough to transplant our seedlings to the garden yet.

To keep with the spirit of saving some green in the garden, we didn't want to have to purchase pots to transplant the seedlings into. We searched online and found that we could use newspaper to make pots by folding the paper origami style. We found a few different variations of this technique, but we ended up having to combine them a little in order for our pots to work. Here's our step-by-step process to make these sturdy recycled newspaper pots.
