Hi Amanda! I love this tutorial but Im wondering if the beeswax cracks at all over time when you mold it if you don’t add coconut or some other type of oil? If not, do you know why some people add an oil? Thank you!
Love these! I needed a little wrap for the tops of candles I make using the Oui glass yogurt jars, and these are perfect! Thanks for another great tutorial!🐝
Thanks for this great tutorial! I'm just wondering what side of the fabric you out the beeswax on, the wrong side or the right side? When you're putting the wrap on a bowl, do you put the side with the beeswax on it facing the bowl, or facing out? Thank you!
Hi Amanda, when you use 100% cotton fabric and melt the wax, it penetrates through to be on both sides of the fabric, so it doesn't matter which side you put the beeswax on to melt it and you can use either side when wrapping a bowl, etc. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!
I would think you would put it on the wrong side so that when you cover a dish with it the protected side with the wax is covering the food. Don't know if I'm right or not, but that would be my uneducated guess.
I was wondering that too. So you did some fancy envelope origami! Thanks, great tutorial! I was wondering what to do with my beeswax pellets after waxing canvas and finally deciding I like buying it already waxed better than the mess and time of waxing it myself. 😬
Hi Maureen - I suppose that is possible. I'm assuming if you add to much, it would make the fabric wrap difficult to fold, etc. I would suggest you add the beeswax slowly as you melt it if you are concerned.
When you make the sandwich wrap...do you do the wax coating first, or sew the seams together first? Do you serge or hem the edges before adding the wax?
Hi Leslie, there is actually no sewing on these wraps. I simply cut my fabric to be 12" square and after it was coated, I folded it around my sandwich. I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks so much! I got all the supplies I need and will be making some Sunday! 🤩
How did you get on

Great video! Will be sharing with my BEE group soon!
Awesome, thanks!
Love this tutorial! If i want to make a few wraps can i reuse the parchment paper? or would i need to use fresh parchment paper for each one?
You can absolutely reuse the parchment paper!

Could I use them to wrap my candles

These look great - thank you for sharing. Can these be washed?
Thanks Dawn! They can be rinsed with cold or lukewarm water and an eco-friendly soap, then air dryed.
It would be helpful if you would tell us what setting you had your Iron on!
I used the cotton/linen setting on my iron.
Great tutorial!!!
Thank you!
Thank you! So helpful
You're so welcome!
Thank you for this. What temp do we set the iron please?
Hi, I set my iron on the highest temperature setting when I made my wraps.
Great video! Is your snack envelope sewn? Did you use a specific needle or type of thread?
Hi Parvatha, it is not sewn, I folded my 12" square into a little envelope pouch. Thanks!
@@amandacastor1028 oh wow! It's amazing how it holds the shape. Thank you!

I love it, envelope origami! 😊 Thanks
Is it possible to add too much beeswax?
Hi Maureen - I suppose that is possible. I'm assuming if you add to much, it would make the fabric wrap difficult to fold, etc. I would suggest you add the beeswax slowly as you melt it if you are concerned.
I love this, thanks for sharing ... I don't know how to fold for the envelope... :o( .... But I did like and subscribe !!!
Thank you!!

I can see myself making a larger one for cheese. I bet it will do a great job of protecting it.
It will be perfect!
