I'm making another post about these DIY seed strips because they are genius and I'm so thankful to my neighbor for teaching me about them!

All you need is:

Toilet paper

Flour

Water

Seeds

This is great for seeds I chronically over seeds and will eventually have to thin like carrots, lettuce, radishes, etc.

Get a little bowl and combine 1 Tablespoon flour with 1 Tablespoon water. You want it to be a paste like consistency and not too runny.

Get a length of toilet paper and put small dots of the wheatpaste in the spacing your seeds require a long one side of the toilet paper.

Place a seed or two on that dot all along the length

Fold the toilet paper over and the little seeds are "glued" into the paper in a way that water can dissolve and the seed can grow through.

Hang the lengths of toilet paper somewhere until it dries or it could seep through and stick to whatever is on the other side.

Follow the instructions on the seed packet as to when to plant and plant as normal, just in a strip.

This kind of prep totally helped out my desire to get a jump on gardening when the weather just isn't there for it yet.
