I splurged on a box of manila-paper coin envelopes from Staples for continued drying.
But coin envelopes were a waste of money. Now I save envelopes from bills and junk mail. I sometimes cut an envelope in half and staple the edges to get more paper envelopes. If I slit the envelope open, I fold it over and paper-clip it shut to prevent spills.
Before seeds go into the coin envelopes, I spread them thinly on basket-style coffee filters until they're dry to the touch. If blooms or pods had to be harvested while damp, I set the coffee filters on top of a pad of newspapers or a dry towel, to wick the water away faster. Also, I'll cover the top with a coffee filter or paper towel, and press the bloom between two towels to squeeze water out.
Don't store moldy seeds with clean seeds!
If there is any risk of insect eggs in a seed packet, just freeze it for a few days after it is very dry, to kill the eggs.
