Dip spring roll wrappers in hot water until soft. Position wrapper with one point facing down. Place about 2 tablespoons vegetable mixture in narrow strip across lower half of wrapper. Fold bottom point up and over vegetables and tuck behind filling. Roll packet up once to enclose filling securely. Fold sides in tightly, forming an envelope. Finish rolling and brush with additional hot water to seal.
