Has anyone made the waxed, reusable food wraps?
I have the directions for making reusable waxed cloth food wraps and wondering if it works? It seems pretty straight forward but wonder if it's only worth it if you make it in large quantities. Any input appreciated!

I have some commercially made ones that I do use to cover bowls and occasionally to wrap things. Because they aren't clear, it hard to know what's inside them, but they do work just fine. They stay where folded and mold to the item due to the warmth of your hands. I haven't tried to make them, however. Seems like a lot of messy work what with the wax. Reminds me of the candle making days of the 1970s!

I'll dig out the blog posting where I found it next week--I set off tomorrow at 7:15am to haul truck/trailer of items to KCRQF for my guild's vendor booth and will be there for next 4 days! Can't remember the whole recipe right now but it only had 3 ingredients--think that besides the wax there was something to keep more sanitary and something that keeps it flexible. The squares of fabric you "waxed" were not huge. Interesting to hear that you just wash like dishes in sink, too. I really do want to do these, may need to recruit some pals if the ingredient amounts are only sold in larger quantities. I'll get back with blog info later.

I love anything that reduces the need for things to end up in landfills. However, my husband is in the kitchen way more than me and he breaks/ruins/loses everything lol. He's still a keeper though, and a fantastic cook!
