In an effort to reduce our plastic usage, I thought it was time to make myself a bundle of beeswax food wraps<\/strong>, and cut down our use of clingfilm and ziploc bags wherever I can.<\/p>\n

Admittedly I’m quite late to the Beeswax wrap party, it seems the whole internet is a-buzz with DIY Beeswax wrap tutorials of all shapes and sizes.<\/p>\n

Of course I’ve been tempted to buy some ready made wax wraps<\/a>. But being ‘super crafty’, and having an endless supply of fabric, I couldn’t really justify it.<\/p>\n

Turns out I have a terrible case of ‘I-can-make-it-myself-itis<\/em>‘. It’s often crippling!<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Luckily beeswax wraps are quite easy to make, and if you use fabric from your stash, (or even upcycle some unwanted fabric from old garments or a pillowcase), you can make several reusable beeswax food wraps for only a few dollars.<\/p>\n

In this step-by-step tutorial<\/strong>, I’ll show you the easiest, most mess-free way for making your own beeswax wraps. I’ve even included tips on how to use beeswax wraps, and how to care for them too.<\/p>\n

I’m very pleased at how well my beeswax wraps turned out. The fabrics I’ve used are so cheerful, and the beeswax makes them smell delicious. I made several in assorted sizes, and so far the largest ones are getting the most use as bread wraps.<\/p>\n

I’ll be taking them along to my next market shop to bundle up bread, cheese and loose produce in, along with my reusable crochet produce bags<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"So<\/p>\n

These eco-friendly reusable food wraps also make great gifts<\/strong>. Add them to a housewarming gift hamper, or use them to wrap up some baked treats for a friendly neighbour. They are sure to be well received.<\/p>\n
