Reducing Waste In Our Environment!!!
Reducing Our plastic
As part of our learning of the environment, Room seven has been thinking of ways to reduce all the plastic we are using every year. To help us do that we have made our own fabric bags to use instead of plastic bags, and we have been making beeswax lunch wrap which is the other option to glad wrap. We would like to encourage everyone to try and use less plastic in our lunchboxes.
How to make beeswax wrap:
1) First you have to grate the beeswax.
2) You get two pieces of baking paper and place it underneath and on top of the fabric.
3) Then you have to spread all the beeswax onto the fabric.
4) You then need an iron to melt all the beeswax on the fabric, make sure there is no gaps where there is no beeswax.
5) Finally you need to let it dry for at least 30 seconds.
I really enjoyed making the fabric bag especially for my first time sewing.
Hi Tyler
ReplyDeleteWell done for writing about the projects we have been doing to try to help reduce the amount of plastic we create in our lunchboxes. I like that you explained in steps how to make the beeswax wrap. I'm glad you enjoyed your first time at having a go at sewing. You made a cool bag.
