Reducing our reliance on single-use plastic is one of the most important changes we can make to our daily lives, and whilst many have now started investing in reusable coffee cups and metal drinking straws in order to use less plastic, there’s still one disposable plastic culprit in almost every kitchen in the country… and that’s clingfilm! The majority of clingfilm used in our kitchens still ends up in landfills, where it takes hundreds of years to degrade. Clingfilm remnants that end up in the sea pose significant dangers to many marine creatures, who confuse this rubbish for edible jellyfish, not to mention the chemical pollution that results! So Becky Cole is here with another fantastic kitchen sewing project to help us use less of the stuff – a reusable sandwich wrap!

Bonus: you’ll make a felt spider, too!
