I like to give the ladies in my family something special for Christmas that is homemade. Last year, it was vanilla. I’m going to make these beeswax wraps this year. It really looks so easy! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!

@OurGabledHome 10 месяцев назад

Sounds great! You are so welcome!

@baardskeerdersbosislekker4471 2 года назад

Also make my own. Tried all 3 methods. Ironing is cleanest and easiest. I use fairly raw beeswax from a local farm so there is still a bit of honey in it. This is perfect to give it a bit of stickyness.

@OurGabledHome 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing!

@SummerBPatterson Год назад

since your wax still has honey, do you still use resin? I have wax from when I used to keep bees and extracted honey - I saved the caps and would melt it out for keeping wax for wraps, lip balm, etc - but never got around to doing all the things. Excited to finally make things for presents this year.

Hi Anja, these worked out beautifully for me so thank you! FYI, I rolled the larger circles and rectangle sheets separately on empty cardboard paper towel rolls and stored them in my kitchen drawer along side other wraps in boxes. They fit perfectly. ❤

@bernarddavis1050 Год назад

The method I use is to get a cotton or linen pillow case, sprinkle the beeswax pellets over it, roll it and fold it up and stick it in the microwave for a couple of minutes. You have to check it now and again to see that it is not getting too hot (ie smoking) but this is by far the quickest and least messy way in my experience.

@OurGabledHome Год назад

Thank you for sharing your experience!

@bernarddavis1050 Год назад

I have to stress the importance of careful supervision for this microwave method, and that the turntable is revolving properly. It gets extremely hot inside the rolled-up fabric and you can finish up with burn spots and a ruined project. There is quite a narrow window between the heat required to melt the beeswax and setting the whole thing on fire.@@OurGabledHome

Is there a benefit to using linen as opposed to a different material like cotton? I’m sitting on a lot of cotton quilting fabric right now and would love to give this a shot.

@OurGabledHome 4 года назад

Yes, you can definitely use cotton fabric (make sure to wash before). I used linen because I love it, I have a lot, it's a sturdier fabric than cotton and gets sprayed less with pesticides, and it's naturally anti-bacterial 💜

@wendipoole4949 Год назад

Hi Anja! I made a few wraps, but we aren’t crazy about the pine rosin smell and fear it may be absorbed by foods. What is your experience? I used it once to cover my sourdough starter (Stella😉) after feeding and she did not seem to respond as she normally has. I would love to know what your thoughts are. And thank you! For sharing your recipe. 😊

@OurGabledHome Год назад

A lot of people make the beeswax wraps only with beeswax. Pine resin seems to be fine to come in touch with food and the EWG gives it a green "1" rating. I use them for my SD starters all the time and haven't noticed any adverse effects. So ultimately it's up to you and personal preference. Hope this helps 😊 ~ Anja

@dottiburke40 3 года назад

So if I use 1c beese wax, 1c resin I should use a 1/2 cup oil? What is the oil for?

Does the wax/oil come through the parchment paper onto the iron? If so, how to clean it off so it doesn't harm clothing next time you iron?

I have never had the wax or oil come through the parchment paper and I do my best to keep it off the hot iron. If you get something on it, simply wipe it off with a paper towel while it's still hot 😊 ~ Anja

Very nice video, beautifully done, but the methods shown are not for me. They look too time-consuming. I'm going to look for a method where you start with a ready solution of beeswax, raisin, and oil (but something a bit less pricey than jojoba oil, like linseed oil or rapeseed oil) and immerse the fabric in one way or another. What I do like with your method, though, is that it seems very neat (no big messes), economic (not a lot of waste), and precise.
