Beeswax wraps

Next date: Tuesday, 12 May 2026 | 01:30 PM to 03:30 PM

Join us in celebrating Neighbourhood House Week with a hands-on workshop where you’ll learn to create your own reusable beeswax wraps—an eco-friendly alternative to plastic cling wrap.

In partnership with REthink Nillumbik, this practical session will guide you through selecting suitable fabrics, preparing the beeswax mixture, and applying it safely and effectively. You’ll also learn how to care for your wraps so they last.

All materials are provided, and participants are encouraged to wear old clothes, as the process can get a little messy.

To finish the session, enjoy a relaxed afternoon tea, included as part of the workshop.

This activity will be held at Eltham Living & Learning Hub, 739 Main Road, Eltham.

The REthink Nillumbik program is funded by Nillumbik Shire Council and supported by Edendale Community Environment Farm and NECAH (Nillumbik Environment and Climate Action Hub). The project will be delivered by Going Green Solutions and supports Council's climate action goal of net-zero community emissions by 2035.
