    Q & A
    1.Can you use soy wax?
    It doesn’t work as well because it has a lower melting point so not as good as beeswax
    2.Why do you need pine resin?
    Pine resin will assist when molding your wraps. It will keep the wraps from cracking and allow the wraps to adhere much better
    3.Why do you use Jojoba oil?
    It gives the wraps a bit more softness and flexibility which aids in the molding of the wrap. Jojoba oil also has anti-bacterial properties and has a long shelf life. Therefore, you shouldn’t use other oils as they can go rancid.
    4.Why aren’t my wraps molding and clinging together?
    This may happen if you do not use the pine resin and jojoba oil.
    Also, the best thing to do is to activate your wraps before your first use. To do this scrunch up your wrap and this will make your wraps tackier.
    You are using your warm hands to mold the wrap around your bowl but remember it sticks to the surface but it also sticks to itself so overlap the edges of the wrap for a good seal.
    5.How do I wash my wraps?
    Place them in cold water and use a mild detergent. You can gently use a cloth or use your fingers to wipe it clean and then air dry.
    6.How long do the wraps last?
    About 1 year. Depending on how much they are used.
    7.Do I just throw them out after a year?
    No! Once you see a lot of cracks in the wax or any wax chipping off you can renew your wraps by re-waxing them using one of the four methods in this video.
    8.How do I know what I have in my wraps in the fridge, because they are not see through?
    You can color code your wraps. Green for avocado, red for tomato, yellow for onion or you can use fabric pens and write on the names on the fabric before you wax them!
    9.Do I have to turn it over and wax the other side?
    No. If you have used a nice thin pre-washed cotton fabric then the wax will seep through to the other side.
    10.How do I store my beeswax wraps?
    You can lay them flat or fold them and store in your wax paper drawer. Or you can roll them around a wax paper or wrapping paper cardboard roll and place a piece of parchment paper around them to keep them from picking up dust or particles. Or roll them and place them in a wax paper box.
    11. Why are my beeswax wraps not sticking?
    Could be a few reasons.
    - You didn't use the pine resin
    - You don't have enough wax on your wrap
    - You didn't scrunch up your new wrap to activate it

    Thanks for the video! Instead of making a mess in the double boiler, I use a wide mouth mason jar and a paintbrush. No need to clean, just put the lid on and it's ready to go when I need to make more or touch-up the ones I have.

      I just leave my left overs in the double boiler and then re-melt when needed but if you don’t have an old double boiler kicking around than the canning jar is perfect. Thanks for sharing your great idea with us Linda!

I have been concerned about the level of harmful waste produced by my household with plastics and such so I am looking for ways to decrease that.
    Good idea using the leftover baker's paper box for storage. I think I am going to use muslin or another unwaxed fabric to make a 'dust envelope' to store folded wraps in.

    Patti, Thank you so much for this excellent tutorial. I made these wraps using the paint brush method you suggested. There was a slight learning curve but it worked very well. I found that red fabrics leached out a lot of red dye onto the parchment paper and made an awful mess, so I would suggest staying away from red fabrics. Other than that, it went very well. I make 6 breads at a time and then freeze them. I have been wrapping them with plastic wrap, then tinfoil, then place in a ziploc bag. Now I just use these wraps and the same ziploc bag over and over. This saves so much waste!

    • @laceandbits
      @laceandbits 5 лет назад +2

      I agree. The oven method seems to be a lot of faffing about and you still need to use the baking parchment and iron. But it might be possible to combine the two methods and put extra dry wax over the fabric and use a second piece on top, melting the wax through both layers.

    • @pdelmercado
      @pdelmercado 5 лет назад +2

      Ok, I just have to share this.....I've never tried this before, so I'm not as adept as you are Patti. For the sake of others who are inexperienced as I was, here are a few challenges I ran into. I used my ironing board (mistake). The wax and resin liquified and seeped out under the edges of the parchment and onto my ironing board and floor. I should have used a larger ironing area as you did, and/or put down a disposable material on the floor. I found that despite the resin being finely ground, it left a lot of yellow stains on my fabric, no matter how much I tried to iron them out. I ended up using just beeswax on the remainder of my fabric circles, as these were to be gifts, and I couldn't give them away with all that yellowish discoloration. Perhaps it didn't help that I chose a white on white cotton fabric to use, but it sure is pretty without the stains. After all of the scraping off of wax and resin from my floor (as well as using a hot iron and brown paper bags to melt it off), and realizing that I now have to buy a new ironing board cover, I've decided to retire this craft project for a long while, LOL. Kudos to those of you who did it right!

I'm enjoying making beeswax wraps, it's very new for me, and this video helps to find the best practice that works for me! i've done a melt over the stovetop in a double-boiler and brush on fabric, but the process was not concise enough to make the least amount of mess. your tips and techniques are super helpful, tried #1 today and it works like a dream. i especially like reusing the parchment paper and just-made wrap to iron over and make the most of excess beeswax/resin.

    To be able to tell what is in your wrap after you have waxed it use a wax pencil to write on the outside of your wrap.
    Type of food :
    Date made:
    Date to be disposed of: (or composted)
    If you can’t find a wax pencil you could use a beeswax crayon 🖍

    Hello Patti! I am soooo glad that I found your video! I tried making these before, using a double boiler method and then layering the fabric pieces to disperse the excess wax. The previous tutorials did not include ironing the fabric. Mine were a total failure! I bought coordinating fabrics, all the supplies, and was terribly disappointed with the results. I hope I didn't throw them away! I may be able to rescue them by ironing them!
    Which method is your favorite?
    Thanks again!!!

      Oh dear. That would have been very disappointing. I hope you do find them because ironing them between the parchment paper and maybe another piece of material will probably save them.
      My favorite method is the last one I showed in the video which was melting everything together in the double boiler and using a paint brush to apply the melted wax solution to the fabric and then evening it out with the iron on top of the parchment paper.

    Hi Patti...I have tried this so many times from other video dems as well and I am just not satisfied with them. I can adjust most of the issues but they don't cling like I had hoped for. I washed my fabric and it is 100% cotton. Do you have any insight you could share?

    • @CraftyPattiArtsCrafts
      @CraftyPattiArtsCrafts  5 лет назад +13

      There are a few reasons they might not cling.
      -If you don't have enough wax saturated into both sides of your fabric
      -Your iron was not hot enough to melt the pine resin and wax.
      -Not enough pine resin. This is what gives you the stickiness.
      -You didn't activate the wrap by scrunching it up in your hand then open it flat again for use.
      -Use the heat of your hands to get it to stick to bowl but its better if you get it overlap the edges of the wrap so it sticks to itself.

    Hi. After following this tutorial I decided to make some using the ironing method. I noticed though that after a day or so of them being folded and when I scrunched them up - where the creases are it had a lot of powder produced. What am I doing wrong and how do I correct those I've done? - thank you

    • @CraftyPattiArtsCrafts
      @CraftyPattiArtsCrafts  5 лет назад +2

      If you have powder forming than it means that the resin has not totally dissolved and melted. That is the benefit of melting all 3 ingredients in a double boiler. It’s a bit more work but you get better results.
      Try ironing the ones you have again to make sure the resin has melted.

    Why the pine resin and Jojoba oil, what do they add to end product?

    • @CraftyPattiArtsCrafts
      @CraftyPattiArtsCrafts  5 лет назад +36

      The pine resin adds the stickiness for the wraps and also prevents the beeswax from cracking. The joboba oil aids the softness to the wrap. If you try and use just beeswax it will crack and eventually the wax could fall off. All the beeswax wraps that you can buy in the store will have resin and jojoba oil in them.

    This is a wonderful video. Very helpful. I tried the melt in a double boiler method. Loved it. My first experiment with making the wraps resulted in too much and an uneven distribution of wax. Using the double boiler, tongs, and baking paper and iron is simply genius. Not to mention doing more than one at a time. Thank you so much for sharing!

    Wow Patti! This video was fantastic! Earlier today I made my first batch of wraps. I had recently purchased squares of ready melt cubes (beeswax, jojoba oil, and pine resin). I heard it was a nightmare to grate the beeswax, so I took the easier way out. However; when following the persons directions I felt that mine were way to heavy with wax. After watching this video I think I can salvage what I made earlier! Here goes nothing!!!! Thank you!!

Why have I never heard of this before period OMG this is amazing definitely something to add to my soap And candle making business. Thank you so much for taking the time to produce this video. I am totally blown away at the simplicity of this and why people continue to use Plastic wrap. Maybe because day don't know about this either.I remember as a child seeing something might grandmother hand that was like the color of a fair break that it felt like I was running my hand across a piece of rubber and it was attached to the bowl light cling wrap. Maybe I have seen this for Before . Either way thank you so much for bringing it back to my attention. I couldn't have been more than about 4 years old and it was that a family reunion. It also had my grandmother's name written on it. Thanks again take care and God-bless Deb

    Love the video! We melted ingredients in a double boiler and made small (aprox 25 ml) "pucks" of wax. Form parchment paper in inverted large canning rings, then pour the wax in, and let the wax cool. Puck will peel off of the parchment paper. For even easier pull off (and less mess!), put the pucks in the refrigerator or freezer before you use them. With this method you can mix and melt all your ingredients in the proper proportions one time use the pre-measured pucks at any time. Reduces mess!! 1 puck is good for 11" x 11" square, maybe with some sopping by another piece.

    Great tutorial, thank you for taking the time to make it. I am a beekeeper and I am lucky enough to have several pounds of beeswax and have wanted to try this. The only thing I would add is to caution people, who have not worked with beeswax, that it is highly flammable. I see that your burners are turned off when you are dipping, and that is brilliant :) I have a crappy old crockpot that I dedicate to melting wax, so I am going to use an assortment of your methods and get to work!
