Make Your Own Beeswax Wraps

Often it's too dirty with food, and likely to jam recycling machines due to its malleable properties.

So why not kill two birds with one stone: use up your scrap backlog, and save the earth!

Time Taken

    15 minutes

Items Needed

1. Beeswax
2. Fabric Scraps
3. Iron
4. Ironing Board/Towel
5. Greaseproof Paper

Method

1. Cut fabric to your desired size (We recommend a fat quarter)
2. Either overlock, or use zig zag scissors to stop the edges fraying
3. Place fabric on top of greaseproof paper on your ironing board/towel
4. Grate beeswax onto the fabric
5. Cover with greaseproof paper
6. Iron, spreading the beeswax evenly to coat the fabric
