In this 15min class, you will learn how to make your own eco food wraps using beeswax. Eco food wraps are a reusable, eco-friendly, and plastic-free alternative to glad wrap (a.k.a. cling wrap). They can be used for almost anything in your kitchen you would use plastic wrap for: fruit and veggies, leftovers, bread, sandwiches, even cooked meat - you name it. They last up to one year.
The best news: they are really easy to make yourself!
Eco food wraps also make fantastic gifts.
In this class I will teach you how to make your own eco food wraps, using cotton fabric and beeswax. You can make different sizes and shapes, use different patterns, and let your creativity run loose. It's a fun activity, also for kids.
The BONUS section of this class is for you if you have already made wraps in the past and want to 'level up'. In this class, I introduce you to three additional ingredients you could use in combination with the beeswax. Tree resin, jojoba oil, and coconut oil lend the wrap stickiness, moldability and even more anti-bacterial power than beeswax alone. I introduce the ingredients in detail, show you how to apply them to your fabric, how to use and care for your wrap, and how to make XXL wraps with your iron.
The BONUS section used to be a standalone class.
