np. I was given a bag of pumpkin and pepper seeds in a money bag and didn't have any problems but paper would be more eco friendly. Newspaper and a stapler or some clever folding perhaps? Origami jumps to mind.

Thanks for your reply Kev. I'm looking for envelopes to put seeds into. Plastic baggies are no good because seeds are more likely to go mouldy. I think I'l just make them from paper

Are you talking about envelopes to put seeds into or envelopes with seeds in them? If you mean the former you could get a stack of plastic baggies or money bags from the bank, for the latter check out seedsavers and brown envelope seeds ;)

That would make sense Cloudnine, consider that liquid poisonous to humans and dogs though.
Like many other nightshades, tomato leaves and stems contain atropine and other tropane alkaloids that are toxic if ingested. Ripened fruit does not contain these compounds[citation needed]. Leaves, stems, and green unripe fruit of the tomato plant contain small amounts of the poisonous alkaloid tomatine.[32] Use of tomato leaves in tea (tisane) has been responsible for at least one death.[33] However, levels of tomatine are generally too small to be dangerous.[32][34]
Tomato plants can be toxic to dogs if they eat large amounts of the fruit, or chew plant material.[35]
