Beeswax Wraps

Today we made beeswax wraps. We wanted to do this as we are sick of seeing glad wrap in everyones lunchboxes.

"How to make beeswax wrap

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees or the lowest setting. ( Pinking shears will help prevent your swatches from fraying).

2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the fabric on top. If the pattern is one sided place pattern faced down.

3. Evenly distribute a liberal amount of beeswax all over the fabric. ( grate the beeswax ). Make sure you spread the beeswax all over the fabric.

4. Place it in the oven for about 4-8 minutes. When the beeswax melts completely, take the tray out and use a paintbrush to spread the beeswax evenly over the fabric.

5. Hang the beeswax up on a clothes hanger and let dry.

Then you are done with your homemade beeswax wrap!"
