Nothing Fancy Supply Co. Beeswax Food Wraps
A trip to the fabric store was just the beginning for Nothing Fancy Supply Co. in Jacksonville, Illinois. Colleen Flinn grew up in a family of quilters and loved beautiful fabrics, so when she realized how much waste her family of five produced, she headed straight there. Flinn bought colorful, patterned fabrics to make reusable food wraps. Each wrap is handcrafted using ingredients made in the U.S.: beeswax from Illinois, pine resin from Georgia and jojoba oil from Arizona.
Flinn gives more details about her company and wraps in this episode of the Partners podcast.
