Reducing Our Plastic Waste

This Term we have been learning about the environment. We have been sewing fabric bags instead of using plastic bags. We have also made our own beeswax wrap to use instead of glad-wrap.  
I have enjoyed using my beeswax wrap for covering my food and my bag for carrying stuff. 

How to make beeswax wrap
First you need some fabric, some beeswax, an iron and baking paper. 
Then you put your fabric on top of a piece of baking paper. After you have done that you spread beeswax over top of the fabric then put a piece of baking paper on top of the fabric. Then you get the iron and put it over the baking paper and melt the beeswax into the fabric. After you are done hang the cloth onto something to dry.
