Waste Less, Celebrate More: Beeswax wraps, lip balm and hand cream

Waste Less, Celebrate More: Beeswax Wraps, Lip Balm & Hand Cream Workshop

As part of the Waste Less, Celebrate More series, this hands-on workshop helps participants prepare for the festive season with practical, sustainable alternatives to everyday products.

Participants will create and take home two reusable beeswax food wraps, made using melted beeswax in electric frypans, providing an eco-friendly alternative to single-use plastic wrap. Attendees will also make and take home their choice of a DIY beeswax lip balm or natural hand cream, crafted from beeswax and nourishing oils.

This fun and engaging workshop encourages waste reduction while inspiring participants to make thoughtful, sustainable choices during the holiday season. The beeswax wrap activity can be adapted for children and family groups using a safer iron-based method, making it suitable for a wide range of audiences.

Participants will:

• Make 2 reusable beeswax food wraps

• Create a natural lip balm or hand cream

• Learn practical ways to reduce waste during the festive season

• Take home handmade, sustainable gifts and products
