Use the hand blender to blend it into a fine pulp.
Assemble and Dip the Frame
Set up the frame, which includes a rigid base, a mesh screen, and a wooden frame (or deckle). I recommend using a kit which has everything (this is the one I used)

Dip the frame into the pulp mixture in a deep dish, allowing the pulp to distribute evenly over the mesh.
Add the Seeds
Add the seeds and mix them into the pulp. Gradually lift the frame, ensuring the pulp settles evenly. (these are the seeds I used)

Remove Excess Water
Press a sponge over the screen and squeeze it out as necessary to get out most of the water.
Remove the mesh and place one of the cloths (couches) on top. Do the same for the other side.
Use your hand to press out the additional water
Finish Drying the Seed Paper
Move your paper (still between the couches) to an ironing board and iron it until it's dry (first over the cloth and then remove the cloth).
When it's dry, your seed paper is ready to use!
