I do not know how to post a link so you will have to copy and paste

I did post it but right now when I tried it myself by the above method I could not follow the instructions. Each time I ended up opening all my folds. Hopefully you will have more luck or somebody else should be able to guide you better.

Well, thanks for the link, I am definitly not a rocket scientist! When I tried to "open" my cup all the folds came undon......geeshh!!!! I have an orgami book but that isn't in it. Let's see if someone else sends me a how to! Thanks for your effort, I appreciate it!

Here you go, I used a paper towel tube and started off with a sheet of newspaper cut in half.

I use the PotMaker which can be found at Burpees; link below, but you can make them without it. I use strips 3 1/2" wide by about 10 or 11 inches. Wrap it around something smooth like a spice container, fold in the bottom, press it against a firm surface, slide it off and you have a pot. I write on the cup before placing the mix in to keep up with what I'm growing.

Before you fill the pots it helps to staple the top edge. Always keep the planted pots in a container just big enough that the number of pots fills the space and they give each other support. If I need to add water during the seedling growth I carefully lower the whole container into enough water to soak up from the bottom. Al

Easy to do - Here is a bunch of info links from Google How to make paper pots?

Just cut long strips of newspaper the width = to how tall you want the pot to be. Then wrap the strip several times around any round object - pop can, rolling pin, whatever. The diameter of what you wrap around determines the diameter of the pot.

As you wrap, leave 1 1/2" of the paper extending below the can, tape or staple the end of the wrap and fold the 1 1/2" of the bottom over into pleats. Slip it off the can and you have a paper pot. ;)

You can just form them around any container that is the size you want and tape the edges. Paper tapes are biodegradable.

Personally, I didn't like using them. They did not want to stand up on their own, I thought that they dried out too quickly when spaced apart and had a tendancy to mold when too close together. You still have to remove the plant from the paper pot when transplanting becuase it will take weeks and perhaps months for the paper to fully disinegrate so you risk the plant drying out or getting root bound. The only thing I did like about them is that I could just tuck the paper pot under the mulch as I planted. No clean-up is always good in my book.

Besides, as I get older, I find my time becomes more and more valuable. It's a whole lot faster to pick up cups in a large variety of sizes than to make them at a dollar store.
