How To Make A Beeswax Wrap 

Do you sell the fabrics you design?

Note to people making these: they're only compostable if you use fabric that is 100% natural material ie cotton, linen, hemp. Anything else is just woven plastic.

these wraps are VERY expensive in my country so this is a lifesaver, thank you!

Why are you composting them? The fabric is still good. Wash with hot water and soap, dry and then re wax them!

I've missed "and that's it, you're done." hehe

To remove the waxx from the pan, you can put water in pan and heat it up, then cool it, then skim of qax from surface. Or i like to pop it in the freezer then pop the whole water out along with the wax 😃

Your soothing voice almost made me fall asleep 😹😹 Nice DIY 👍👍

These are so great! I also saw someone make these with the addition of jojoba oil and pine resin which add to the flexibility, help them mold to a shape even better and make last llonger (the wax doesn't crumble as much). Smell is nice too.

Can you revitalize a worn wrap by remelting it or adding more beeswax?

Life is funny. Years ago (9+) i frequently watched your videos and enjoyed your artistic style so much. I was a big fan of KlairedelysArt, so i didn't recognise you at first, but i remembered your calming voice. But my life changed and my interests shifted, i unsubscribed and forgot about you (Sorry). But in the last years i started living in a healthier and more conscious way. So things lead to another and i wanted to make my own beeswax wraps and looked for videos. And there i am again. Subscribed again because you are so charming and i like the videos you're making now. I think thats kind of funny. So thank you so much for this! And thank you so much for your soothing videos!

Me: RU-vid: Yo, you wanna make some beeswax wraps? Actually, YES. Thank you!

And, finally, my long-promised beeswax wrap video! As usual, if you like my videos and would like to be kept updated with my blog posts and weekly videos please DON'T subscribe to me on RU-vid. Instead, the best way to stay updated is to follow my mailing list on SimplyKlaire.com. See you there :)

As the wraps start to not work could you rewax them to give them a longer life?

I use these for my Oui yogurt jars that I repurpose for my lunches... they're the perfect size for condiments, fruit etc but need a lid. I also keep the rubber bands that my asparagus comes in and i use it for added security around the top of the jar after putting my wax cloth over top. Yours are so beautiful!

I didn't realize that's all it was!

I was thinking to buy a few of these beeswax cloth but they're quite expensive, so I definitely try this out. Thank you so much for sharing this video 💕

I remember the first video I saw of yours, it was the Effie trinket makeup, and from the instant I started watching I have adored and loved you. The way your videos where mesmerized me and they had such a warm glow to them I would watch them all. I’ve missed your videos so much over the couple years you where gone on this channel and your others. To this day, even tho I may not love it as much as your makeup and SFX videos, I still adore you and how you make your videos. The way you film is a big reason but an even more moving way is your voice. It is so nastalgic to begin with because every time I hear your voice it takes me back to when I was just 13, I am almost 20 now. Your voice is also very calming and soothing, your child is so lucky to have you as a mother. It is so hard to explain the feeling of just hearing you makes me feel. It’s like there is only good and warm things in the world. I’ve missed you so much Klaire and you have and will always be one of the most influential and amazing people I have ever known. Thank you for all that you do and have done. There is so much more I want to say but just don’t know how right now. We love you so much! ♥️ Thank you.

If you use the thinnest cotton you can find and add some jojoba oil or coconut oil, just toss the pellets into some oil just to cover them before you sprinkle. The thinner fabrics are much more flexible and therefore go around jar tops etc and the small amount of oil allows for more tackyness. The original Bees Wraps use the Jojoba oil. Thanks for this video...its so important to get away from clingfilm x

I didn't know this was so easy to make!

Excuse my ignorance, I've never worked with wax before. 1. Is there a particular kind of fabric that's best for this? 2. Are there some bees waxes that are food safe and others that aren't? Love this and your channel ❤️

Lovely tutorial! A tip for cleaning out beeswax is to slightly heat the tray until all the wax has melted, and then mop it up with newspaper sheets and/or kitchen paper/loo roll. Discard the paper & your tray should be nice and clean again 👍

The bee patterns were so cute!

Excellent, not boring, gets right to the point. So many others going to these long involved explanations that really are not necessary if you have a working brain and a little imagination in your repertoire.

Oh my gosh!!! I used to watch your videos when I was a little kid and now I’m an adult :O I’m so glad you’re still making videos

Why are you such a beautiful, pure, and simply an amazing human being??

Oh my goodness. I swear I could listen to you reading the yellow pages phone book! Your voice is incredibly soothing. I got relaxation and learned how to make my own wax wraps in less than five minutes. Fantastic video! I’m so happy to have found you. Thank You.xxx

Beeswax is absolutely the best.

your voice is really nice, i could listen to you all day. i am going to try this now :)

I bet you're a great story teller, your voice is so calming and expressive

I love these sustainable living videos of yours 💕 i can't wait for my own little home to incorporate these in my life 🌈 also the vibe of the videos is always so calm and cozy 🌞

You designed your own fabric patterns?!?! Impressive!!!!

They are that easy and people where I live are ripping everyone off selling a 30cm by 30cm for $50!!!!! Wow just wow!! Thank you for this video....I've always wanted some but refused to spend the redicilous amount of money! Now I can make them myself to use at home ...thank you heaps 😊😊😊😊

Oh your voice is just heavenly

I will absolutely be doing this! Much more affordable than buying premade wraps

This is my favourite beeswax wrap tutorial. I particularly like the part where you explain how to wax a large piece of fabric. Thanks for sharing Klaire. Your fabrics are gorgeous.

I live in Italy and although we have a huge production of honey, beeswax wrap isn't that popular, so it can cost much. But this resolves it!! Thank you, I really appreciate!!!

This is a lot more simple than I thought! Would make a cool hand made gift too. How to you create fabric with your own designs? I tried a printable fabric once but it was really bad.

What a lovely hypnotic spoken voice you have! Thanks so much for this excellent tutorial. New fan, subbed and belled! 😋👍

This video was so calming. Your voice is so soft and calm

Omg I need more vids from you. You're like perfect for RU-vid and DIY adorable stuff.

When they stop sticking or get to crinkly, put them on a baking sheet and pop them in the oven. It remelts the beeswax and renews the wrap. It's brand new again. Every year or so put a tiny bit more wax on them to keep them going for years!

her voice is so soothing 😌

Hi... Thanks! I've just spent ages cleaning up the mess after making these on the ironing board with an iron!! It was soooo complicated. This is so much easier...

Finally a really good tutorial! I've seen those on pinterest, and since I have bees myself and bees wax, I can easily make few, but I've never actually had a video-tutorial on this and I didn't want to waste resources on something I'm not sure about. Now I actually really want to try this. It would be life changing if it works out, since there's a lot of single use plastic in my house and I simply can't get my parents to actually think about the environment. Maybe those will help to reduce at least some parts of the single use plastic in our home.

beautiful fabric prints!

You can renew old ones by putting in the oven on a low heat and adding extra beeswax also you can makethem by ironing the fabric and pellets between two pieces of greeseproof paper

I'm planning on making candles and beeswax wraps with wax from my dad's beehives. Thank you so much for the tutorial! ❤

Your voice is so calming

I saw some of these in a kitchen store and thoughts they were too expensive. Thanks for showing me how to make my own.

don’t the inks have to also be biodegradable for composting to work?

omg i found you after 5 years, i remember being subscribed to klairedelysart

Such a simple tutorial, I have watched too many complicated ones, will be doing it this way. Thanks 😊

I have no need for a beeswax wrap, but I'm watching anyway 👏 I love the fabric

Brilliant, thankyou! These went much better than my first attempt. Much cleaner and simpler!!

Have you thought about selling the wraps that you’ve have designed ?

I love the bee fabric you used! So sweet.

This is really nice!! I have a question : How do you take care of them and how to wash them?

A tip: melt the blocks of beeswax. Pour a thin layer on a silicone 'parchment paper'. It will harden in a couple of minutes. Peel it of the silicone and break it in small pieces. Repeat until your pot is empty. I had 2 kilos of beeswax and hated fighting with it. Now I have a couple of large glass weck pots and I just take the pieces I need.

Don't know why notification squad showed me this, but still watched the whole thing.

Or instead of throwing old ones away u can wash them rlly well and then repeat the process of melting them

Just bought some of the bug fabric from you! Going to make some of these and a scrunchie out of it as well!

You have such beautiful and soft voice!

Thanks for this wonderful tutorial.I've been excited to try this project for months now and finally have all the products i need to try! i've also just bought 1 meter of the blue bees fabric!

Fantastic video! Thank you - will be great for Christmas presents to use up my quilting stash!

Thank your video is very clear and easy to follow.

Your demo is the best out there, good job ! Thank you very much !

Thank you!! I've been looking for a proper tutorial on this for a while now! 💖

I made these today and they didn't work. They just didn't stay on any container. Then I tried the method (melting, mixing, & ironing) that has pine resin and jojoba oil in them and that worked great! Perhaps the type of beeswax beads you buy makes a difference. I bought mine from Frontier Co-op. I wish your method worked because it was so much easier!

your voice is so beautifully soothing

This is beautiful alternative and I’m so proud of you for sharing , I can wait to start

Love your beetles

Your fabrics are gorgeous!

Your voice is so calming. ❤️

That fabric is gorgeous 😻

You can also boil them and start over with them 😍 thank you for sharing!

Hearing you speaking is hella relaxing, can we get a version without background music? Thanks a lot anyways

thank you for showing how to do this...... I thought it would be simple enough alright! We keep bees and I've tonnes of wax at the moment, time to make a few nice wraps!

This is the easiest beeswax wraps ever!

I love the fabric and I love bees - good work on the cohesion!

OMG I've been looking for a tutorial for awhile! Thank you!!

BEST tutorial ever.

How do you reccommend cleaning them? Cold water and maybe a spritz of vinegar water?

Thank you very much! This is very helpful and it saves the environment too!

Your voice is so relaxing.

I've been wanting to purchase these...I'm so glad your vid came up on my feed. I basically have everything to this a try! I'm so excited!!! Thank you for sharing! 🤗👍

How do you wash these....say, after they’ve covered an avocado or wet food? Enjoyed watching. Hope to make some.

You're so creative and gentle❤❤

Best diy i have ever seen, instantly subscribed

Genius! I was looking for a review on these wrap and I found you!

Holy shit I just found out you’re back! I used to watch your videos so often back in middle school aaaa. Memories. I loved this tutorial and I can’t wait to try it out!

Your voice is so relaxing

Hi, thanks for the video! Nice alternative to plastic wrap! May I ask you which type of fabric gives the best performance (e.g. 100% cotton)?

Those fabrics are to die for! :o

Add some coconut oil or a few drops of jojoba oil in the melting process and they will last longer and be more pliable. When they start to lose a little wax you can iron between parchment paper or pop back in oven so it can re melt!!

This inspired me to make some myself! The fabrics you used ate so cute and it is so easy :)

beautiful fabric designs

Thank you Klaire, very helpful , we are going to make some right now :)

I almost wanted to buy this yesterday but now I'm really glad I didn't. This is waaay cheaper

Thank you verry much for this tutorial. I realle want some of these but the shipping to slovakia is sooo expencive that i give up these. Thanks to you only problem what i will have to do is to find a perfect desing of fabric because yours is gorgeous 😂thank you a lot.
