Beeswax Food Wraps

Turn your fabric stash into beautiful, reusable beeswax food wraps! You can use your beeswax wraps for wrapping food, covering containers, and reducing single-use plastic in your kitchen. During class we will create custom sizes, shapes and designs that suit your needs, whether you are making wraps for everyday use or thoughtful gifts with fun fabrics for friends and family.

 

This class will go through the full process of preparing, melting and applying locally sourced beeswax onto fabric. Each participant will make one set of three eco-friendly wraps: small (7”x8”), medium (10”x11”), and large (13”x14”).
