The Bush Bee Man’s Guide to Making Your Own Beeswax Food Wraps
Have you ever found yourself standing in your kitchen, staring at a half-eaten block of cheddar and thinking, "There has to be a better way to store this than with a piece of non-biodegradable plastic wrap?" Well, you're in luck, my environmentally conscious friend, because we've got the perfect solution: Beeswax Food Wraps.
But why buy when you can DIY? Our Beeswax Food Wraps Kit is here to help you wave a hearty 'good riddance' to disposable wrap and embrace the sustainable lifestyle we know you've been hankering for.

Here's what you'll find in our DIY Beeswax Wrap Kit:
1. One Large (35x35cm) fabric wrap, perfect for that loaf of bread you baked while pretending to work from home.
2. One Medium (31x31cm) fabric wrap, the ideal mate for half-eaten melons or salad bowls.
3. One Small (15x15cm) fabric wrap, a cozy blanket for your leftover cheese or half of an avocado.
4. Two pieces of Beeswax, straight from the bees’ knees (or rather, their hives).
5. Two pieces of Baking Paper, to sandwich your fabric and beeswax as you iron them into a lasting relationship.
Now, onto the fun part - the step-by-step guide to fabric-wrap glory:
1. Preparation is key: Clear off your workspace, shoo away any lurking cats, and lay out your baking paper like it’s a picnic blanket for ants.
2. Choose your fabric: Pick your preferred size of fabric, place it on the baking paper, and admire its potential. This will soon be a reusable, eco-friendly wrap!
3. Wax on: Time to grate some beeswax onto the fabric. It's just like grating cheese, but instead of topping off a delicious pasta dish, you're creating a sustainable food storage solution. Remember, no nibbling on the beeswax!
4. Seal the deal: Once your fabric is sporting a fine layer of grated beeswax, place another piece of baking paper on top. It's a fabric-wax sandwich!
5. Iron it out: With your trusty iron cranked up to a high setting (but not so high you could fry an egg on it), start ironing the baking paper. The heat will help the wax and fabric form a lasting bond. Start from the centre and work your way out. Remember, slow and steady wins the race!
6. Cool it down: Once your beeswax has melted into the fabric, peel away the top layer of baking paper, sit back, and let it cool. Resist the temptation to use it immediately; good things come to those who wait!
7. Repeat: You've done it once. Now it's time to do it all over again with the rest of the wraps. You'll be a bona fide beeswax wrap-making pro by the third time!
And voila! You've just created your own reusable beeswax food wraps.
Now you can wrap up your food in style, safe knowing that you're doing your bit for the planet. And remember, the only thing better than making sustainable food wraps yourself is teaching others to do the same. So why not share the love (and the wraps) with your friends and family?
