    I just have to make these! What a great idea… perfect for my kids lunch boxes - our school has a ‘rubbish-free’ lunch policy. I am very impressed!!!

    Be sure that the material you line your sandwich wrapper in is food-safe. Vinyl/PVC is not. But it’s a super cute idea, and a great way to cut waste.

    I tried making these last summer, of my own made up pattern, by copying a store bought one. Two flaws in mine: 1. I used oilcloth for both sides, thinking at the time that it would make the easiest clean up. 2. The cottony inside of the oilcloth soaked up moisture and wouldn’t try out, causing it to mold and get funky. I think I should try this one because I am totally sold on the concept and tried, unsuccessfully, banning ziploc bags from our house.

    I just made my first one!

    I lucked out b/c there was a huge chunk (3 metres) of vinyl in the remnants bin for $2.50! My daughter has 2 birthday parties to attend this month and this is what they are getting. She loved choosing out fabric for her friend’s

    I was thinking the same thing about the liner needing to be food safe. Anyone have any leads on getting that kind of material by the yard? The stuff in the Wrap-N-Mats is a clear plastic layer…

    I have made reusable lunch wraps from Calico squares, which I wash in the daily laundry. They are cheap and easy to clean.
    Even though they have no plastic layer, they are still quite good at keeping sandwiches seperated from the other food in the lunchbox, and keeping some moisture in.
    Here is my post about it

    Can anyone clarify why vinyl is not food-safe? I have oilcloth I purchased that I thought would be lovely- is that also unsafe? Where can I find out more? Thanks!
