Beeswax food wraps step by step

Beeswax food wraps are reusable pieces of beeswax-infused cotton fabric that are meant to replace single-use plastic wrap or aluminum foil. To make your own wraps, you’ll need 100% cotton fabric, beeswax, pine rosin (to make it stick) and jojoba oil (you could substitute coconut oil). The recipe itself involves the use of a double boiler and a low oven. The finished wraps should never be placed in the microwave or dishwasher, nor even cleaned with hot water. They will last about a year.
