I was fiddling with newspaper making paper pots (based on instructions posted on DG) and I decided to try another version-- neat and sturdy, no tape, no glue. This is based on an origami box design. A nine inch square (or slightly smaller) makes boxes that fit snugly in a standard greenhouse tray. Photos and instruction here:

Hope this is helpful. Let me know if the instructions need some tweaking. The boxes really aren't that hard to make. You could persuade children or grandchildren to do the first set of folds for you. A craft like this might help keep them occupied during the holidays after they've broken/lost/tired of the new toys.
