Waxed Lunch Bags - Scrap Buster

Waxed Lunch Bags - Scrap Buster

Waxed Fabric

Come to the studio to learn how to use bee’s wax to create a cool lunch bag! Reusable and you can wipe clean with soap and water, great for putting food in to go on a hike or the pool! A great alternative to plastic baggies!

This class will be perfect for those that want to upcycle and reuse some materials you already have on hand. I used some scraps from my bin!

Great project to work with kids too! Great way to teach how to upcycle and reuse old items!

Also, you can make these in all different sizes, make sandwich bags, snack bags and even a wet bag for your swimsuit!

Possibilities are endless!
