If you’re sick of throwing away plastic wrap or keep losing the lids to reusable containers, homemade beeswax wraps make a great alternative. These pliable, reusable wraps are made using all-natural ingredients. They’re easy to clean and can do everything from wrapping sandwiches to covering bowls of leftovers. Additionally, making them at home is a cost-friendly option—these trendy wraps can be expensive when bought in-store. Make some for yourself and give a few as gifts to friends and family!
