The bag idea is ok. BUT use paper and no plastic. Plastic will make the seeds sweat and possibly go mouldy.
Alternatively, you could cut the entire seed head off and put in paper bag/envelope.

Well, I know that when you collect the seeds from carnivorous plants which are almost too tiny to see, you just wait for the pod to completely dry and then gently crush the pod into bits. The you just broadcast the seeds and the pod pieces on the soil where you want them. If your seeds are light in color then you can sprinkle them onto black paper or if they are dark you can sprinkle them onto white paper to help you see them better.
Good Luck

Put the head of the flower into a very small sandwhich bag and shake or tap gently. If the plants are very tiny, you could snip the flower head off and store too. Don't forget to label the bag though. I once had a lovely row of onions in my flower beds.

Yep, cut the seed head off and put in a paper bag or envelope. The seeds will gradually fall out the seed head themselves, ready for you to sow next year. DO NOT put in plastic bags, cos the damp gets to them and they will go mouldy.

Plant heirloom tomatoes. My prominent is Cherokee pink. you are able to save the seeds and plant them the subsequent 365 days. they are self pollinating. I even have been doing it for years. ensure you tag each and each type so which you will no what seeds you're saving. make valuable the tags will bear the sunlight and rain. That has been a mistake I even have made extra advantageous than as quickly as. specific, you're able to be able to desire to plant heirlooms as they are actual to seed and hybrids at the instant are not.

Put newspaper under the plant, shake it, remove paper, pour seeds into an envelope...

My gardner pal used to tie a bag over the plant head, then shake the plant !

Use tweezers. I've heard of scotch tape being used or wrap the green seed pod in cheesecloth to inhibit dispersement.

Simply tie a plastic bag over flower head and shake, it's as simple as that.

Wet papertowels! Put them on the flowers and then you can place them half way down in the growing medium and water them and keep them in warmth or full sun. The paper towels are easily biodegradable and will allow the spores to germinate.
Have fun!
