Reducing Plastic Waste

Our class has been learning about the environment this term and we decided to make material bags and beeswax wraps so we can use them instead of using plastic bags and glad wrap. Lorraine and Billie helped our whole class make our own bags.
How to make material bags
 First we got any material that we didn't want/ use, then we cut our base and 2 straps. Thirdly we sewed our base and both sides and one bottom part of our straps while the were inside out. Lastly we turned them out and sewed the straps onto our bags. After making our bags we made beeswax wraps. We all made 2 beeswax wraps each.
How to make beeswax wrap
To make the beeswax wraps we first put baking paper down on an oven tray then our fabric over top of the baking paper and put our grated beeswax on top. After the iron warmed up we put another piece of baking paper on top of the fabric. We then ironed our fabric and made sure the beeswax was spread evenly. It was hard grating the beeswax.
