True. In fact i went back and added some linseed oil to the wax mixture. hopefully it will add some plasticity. Also, the canvas I used is not a fine weave and so I could improve. However, I filled the bag up with water and the bag held it in pretty good-such that if you used it for a lunch bag it might work to hold in a spill or whatever. Thanks for the comment!
Personally, I think this is a thing of beauty. The organic feel of canvas , the waxy and dried oil protection. Simplicity at it's best. I like that you waxed/oiled first and then stitched. Have you got a pattern to share perhaps? Thanks for the video.
Thanks, Tony. You're too kind! I'll gladly post the measurements. If I were to do it again, I'd want a much tighter weave in the canvas and I'd maybe add a liner on the inside. It's fun, though! Thanks for the comment.
Appreciate very much your kind words. I love working with beeswax and making utilitarian projects. I'll get some measurements together for a pattern, gladly. Cheers!
Hi Danielle, I added some mineral spirits, but I wouldn’t do that again because it’s not food safe. I’ve heard that a better option would be flax seed oil. I’m going to try again with a new recipe in the spring. good luck!

The filming and editing on this video is just superb. Tells the DIY story in an artistic way
Thank you so much!
I've read in old fiction etc about "oil cloth" I think it was something similar, canvas treated with linseed oil maybe?

I love it!
This video is awesome!
Thanks so much! 👨🏽🏭🎉👍🏽
what was in the can you added to the wax
I used mineral spirits, but that wasn’t good for use with food. I think a food safe oil like jojoba is what is traditionally used.
What oil did you add to the bees wax?
