How to Make Beeswax Food Wraps

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 150°F (66° C). Some ovens won’t go below 200°F, which is fine.

Step 3: Then, add the resin to a microwave-safe container and microwave it for about three minutes and then one-minute intervals after that until melted.

Step 4: Add the beeswax and jojoba oil to the melted resin. Step 5: Place parchment paper on a baking tray and arrange your fabric to fit inside the tray.

Step 6: Brush one even layer onto the fabric. Step 7: Place the baking trays with the fabric into the oven for five minutes so that the beeswax can melt and be absorbed by the fabric.
