What you need:
17.5g pine resin
mortar and pestle
tall jar
3 tsp jojoba or coconut oil
50g beeswax
Double boiler
Pieces of 100% cotton cloth
Baking tray
Baking paper
A paint brush that you don’t want to use again!
Oven
How to do it:
Use a pestle and mortar to break up the pine resin until it is a fine dust.
Empty the resin dust into the jar and add the jojoba oil.
Break up or grate the beeswax and add this.
Place the jar into a double boiler and heat for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cut the cotton fabric into useful-sized shapes.
Preheat oven to 180C.
Place one on a baking tray lined with baking paper, then paint it with the molten wax mixture, making sure you get right to the edges.
Place the tray in the oven for just 1-2 minutes, so help the wax absorb into the fabric.
Taking care not to burn yourself, carefully pick up the hot fabric and swing it gently in the air until it has cooled and set - this only takes a few moments.
Once it’s set, it’s ready to use!

It was absolutely lovely watching this. It brought me back to watching educational videos on the TV when I was a kid. So, from 2011 backwards. Good old wa Australian television and video tapes
I love Hannah she's so real!
They are great for school lunch boxes!
The wraps worked out, but the mess was diabolical to clean up. If I ever do it again, I won't use any bowls or implements I value as getting the resinny wax off is a nightmare. I wish I'd covered every inch of the kitchen in newspaper first!
Ooh thanks. i'll make a few of these - i've been interested in beeswax wraps for ages.
Thank you!
What an awesome recipe
I always wondered if I could just harvest regular pine resin. I'm so happy about that. This looks like a great even way to do it. Thank you xxoo
My friend gave me some honey and beewax so I'm going to do just that! I've used the honey wash to make a quick mead, hope it'll turn out tasty!
Wonderful video
Amazing sharing
Another Banga!
I've seen these made with bees wax alone. What does the pine resin do? Great idea.
Pine resin is has antibacterial properties
Why do you choose to incorporate pine resin? I love the addition and want to know more... Thank u!
pine resin is used to make it stick well but in my opinion, w/o pine resin is fine just use beeswax is enough if ure making it for urself
I pretty sure that pine resin can be used as flux for soldering electrical stuff as well
How many wraps is this recipe for (say 30x30cm) wraps?
if i wash it...will it stay like that or do i have to coat it and bake it again?
You can wash it with a cloth, they usually only need a wipe down. I wouldn’t put it in a washing machine.
@@Loogiemistress oooo cool
How much coconut oil I should use.
I cant melt my resin,why?
I am doing mine now , and also my resin won't disolve, just one big gloopy lump
Ok I worked it out, melt the wax with the jojoba oil first, once melted, very slowly add the resin, spoon by spoon, stirring constantly . There will be some that just sits at the bittom of the mix i think that is unavoidable .
using a used paintbrush? hmmmmm, not if that's safe
And stop watching UA-cam videos??
I tried them, didn't like it they changed the flavour of everything I wrapped in them & I don't like it how you can't wash them properly. If you do the wax comes off. Novel idea though but not worth the effort
