Nevertheless, I wanted to try the beeswax cloth food wraps that is all the craze these with moms in the work room at school these days. Patagonia is selling a 3 pack for $20 and you can find other similar products for similar prices. It seemed like a great product, but I can\'t spend $7 a piece on sandwich baggies or to wrap up leftovers that are destined to grow a new species of mold so I decided to make my own. There are plenty other videos on the YouTubes where crafty women make these from snazzy fabrics, but they make it look a lot easier than it is and a lot fancier than it has any right to be. So here\'s the real deal with making your own beeswax wraps for food out of a bandanna: 1) Get some cosmetics grade beeswax pellets from Amazon. If you can find it somewhere else get it there, but dangit, amazon is the only place I could find it. I don’t know what the standard purpose of this product is, but it’s probably something the average dude would be horrified to learn about women. 2) Raid your sock drawer for some old clean bandanas. CLEAN BANDANNAS. 3) Get your heat gun. If you don\'t have a heat gun, then grow a beard and buy an old house with 7 layers of paint on the doors and trim, and get a head gun to strip that off, then spend 5 years remodeling, sell it for a loss, have two kids, move to the suburbs, and then come back to this video... 4) Find a cookie sheet that is too small, wash the mouse turds off of it, and melt a lake of beeswax with the heat gun. Keep the heat gun moving and at a safe distance. If it starts to smoke, turn it off. 5) Dunk the bandanna in the lake of beeswax. Rub it around, fold it up. Roll it up. Get it fully coated. You’ll get some on your hands too. And it’ll be hot, but those years of stripping paint with the heat gun and sanding floors and driving screws into old framing timbers will have numbed your fingertips enough that you won’t notice this. It’s just under the shower temperature your wife thinks is just almost warm enough. 6) Once it’s fully coated chill it in the fridge. 7) One step I didn’t show in the video was after I had coated the two bandanas, I folded them up, put them into a pillow case and ran them in the dryer on high heat. They’re now pretty well coated. 8) Make a sandwich and wrap it up! 9) You might need a rubber band or cam strap or bungie cord to secure the wrap. Yes you could use a pretty ribbon or a piece of rustic twine or something fancy, but that’s a lot of airs to put on for some leftovers or a crappy sandwich your kids are just going to trade for bag of Takis. Best to just make it something they’ll be to embarrassed to leave out on the table for the lunch lady to take home and sew into a quilt. 10) Go buy some new bandanas. And that’s it my friends. You’ve made something useful into something useful for something else. Or maybe you’ve just made a mess with wax and ruined the dryer. But either way, DON’T YOUR FINGERTIPS FEEL LUXURIOUSLY MOISTURIZED!?!?!?!?!? Like, subscribe, comment, share. Or not. Up to you. -M'
