'DIY BEESWAX FOOD WRAPS Make Your Own Food Cover Wraps in Less than an Hour at Home! Why I use beeswax: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8WG36T4fjQ Cling wrap or Glad wrap contain dangerous chemicals that can leach into your food upon contact. Avoid subjecting your body to these harmful toxins by using food safe all natural beeswax wraps that in fact extend the life of your food! INGREDIENTS: Cotton sheet or natural fiber material Beeswax Second-Hand Cheese Grater Baking paper Towel or ironing board Iron METHOD: 1. Cut the shapes for your wraps from the old sheet; square or round or rectangular shape with the dishes in mind that you will want to cover. 2. Cut one large sheet of baking paper to be the bottom layer and a second large sheet to cover, make sure you use enough to cover the largest of your wraps, using two sheets of paper if need be. 3. Place the towel on top of the ironing board or on a hard surface like a table, then lay the bottom sheet of paper on the towel. Place the natural material or cotton sheet on top. 4. Grate the beeswax and spread an even layer of wax across the material like cheese on a pizza. 5. Place the second sheet of baking paper on top. 6. When the iron is hot, place it on top of the paper and smooth it across melting the wax below. Hold the iron in place to allow the wax to soak through the cotton. Once the material is soaked in wax, peel away the top sheet of paper. If there are dry patches on the cotton, sprinkle more grated wax over the dry patch, replace the baking paper, and continue ironing to melt the wax. 7. Once completely saturated, peel back the top layer of paper, peel away the cotton sheet from the bottom layer of paper. The wax will dry within a minute and will be ready for use! Only wash with natural soap and cool water so as not to melt the wax. Do not use on animal products, as the bacteria can be harder to remove. If they start to lose their stickiness, simply add more wax. If they are too thick to wrap around food or containers, melt away more of the wax to make them thinner. If they are too thin to grip, add more wax. Also heating up the wrap can always help them to be more sticky, either by bunching them into a ball and rolling them in your hands or place in hot oven for a few seconds.
