Yes, we are still a coffee shop. Don't worry, more coffee inspo coming later this week. But cause we're chaos goblins, we're also a refill station with a passionate goal of removing judgement and barriers from the process of ditching single-use plastic. Cause (say with your chest) IT ISN'T ABOUT PERFECTION. It’s just about doing what you can, when you can. 🌿
Today we are talking BEESWAX WRAPS. They'll save you money in the long run. You can make them or buy them. And this post today covers all the basics.
SO, if you're on the hunt for a quick dopamine hit before the motivation moves on, SAVE THIS POST. But also, if you're like...Alyssa... no. I do not have time for this...I've got you. We have kicka$$ wraps in a variety of sizes just waiting for you.
Materials Needed
- 100% cotton fabric (bonus points for using what you have!)
- Beeswax (pellets or grated) - check local craft store
- Pine resin (optional, helps with extra stickiness, likely need to buy online)
- Jojoba oil (optional, adds flexibility) - check local craft store
- Parchment paper (to protect your iron and work surface)
- Iron & ironing board (or a heat-resistant surface)
- Paintbrush (for beeswax use, to spread the wax - once used it can't be reclaimed for any other activity)
Instructions
1. Prep & Cut: Wash, dry, and cut your 100% cotton fabric into your desired shapes and sizes.
2. Mix & Sprinkle: Combine 2 parts beeswax, 1 part pine resin, and a few drops of jojoba oil. You'll need enough to cover your entire piece of fabric with a thin, sparse layer. Once mixed, sprinkle across fabric.
3. Cover & Iron: Layer another parchment sheet on top. Iron on medium (no steam) until the wax melts and spreads completely. It will soak both sides of the fabric if you put enough one.
4. Cool & Use: Peel back paper, hold up to cool, and your reusable wrap is ready to mold and use!
Care instructions: gently hand wash using cool water and soap, air dry.
