I bought the top part from a second hand store and used the bottom of mine that I already had.  -natural beeswax from a bee farm -tongs -cheap paint brush from dollar store - I bought a craftsman -recycled wax paper box to store your beeswax wraps  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   DONATE TO MY CRAFTY PATTI YOU TUBE CHANNEL If you would like to support me so I can continue to publish more fun videos, then you can make a  donation by clicking on the link below.
