Thank you again Tibby!
 
I wanted to add this for posterity in case someone has the same questions I still do. Below is my SandboxVars.lua file that I have added comments to based on the research I have done so far. If anyone finds something here that is inaccurate, please say so! 
 
Anyhow, here goes:
 

Go to %username%\zomboid\workshop. There you'll see a mod called ModTemplate.
Launch the game, then press the workshop button in the lower left-hand corner. You'll be prompted to upload, update, or change an existing mod. ModTemplate should be listed.
Effectively, all you do is duplicate the ModTemplate set up, customize the workshop.txt, and install your mods in Contents/mods/

I got it to work for you.
 
Some values can only be whole numbers, this happens to me a lot with weapons..
Weight reduction is one of those.
and
Your image file must start with "Item_"
Item_SeedContainer.png
 
First file - SeedContainer.lua
Change your code to the the pink.


  Second file - SeedContainer_items.txtThe way you did the item icon here is correct. Just change the weight reduction to 1, which is the lowest.module Base{
    item SeedContainer
    {
WeightReduction     = 1,
        Weight              = 2.00,
        Type                = Container,
Capacity     = 50,
        DisplayName         = Seed Container,
        Icon                = SeedContainer,
    }
}

 Third file - SeedContainer_recipies.txtmodule Base{
recipe Craft Seed Container
{
Sheet/Pillow,
WoodenStick=3,
Result:SeedContainer=1,
Time:200.0,
}
}

Thank you again Tibby!
