The Loft - Teen Center

Make an environmentally friendly reusable food cover from fabric and beeswax!

Would you like an more environmentally friendly option for covering up leftovers?

Ditch the plastic wrap and come create a beeswax wrap out of reclaimed fabric in the Loft!

This Garden Fest event will guide you through the process of melting a beewax/resin/jojoba oil mixture in the microwave and spreading it over fabric.

When the fabric cools, you can use your wrap to cover bowls, small plates, or even half-used fruit or veggies! 

All materials will be provided, and no experience is needed. Limited supplies available- first come, first served.
