STRUCK ONE FROM THE LIST THAT I WILL NEVER DO AGAIN!

Before Christmas I wanted to make those “Bees Wraps” as gifts. You know, the beeswax coated fabric that you use instead of plastic wrap? Seems as though using less plastic has been on a lot of people’s minds (and rightly so!) so I though that making these as gifts would help people reach that ideal.

I collected the supplies I needed, but never got around to it. I ended up adding to my ridiculously long to-do list, and the materials have been sitting on my kitchen table since December.

Here is what I learned: don’t bother – just buy them!

It was such a messy and labor intensive project, I never want to do it again! I do have a small stack of them that worked out (I think) after some trial and error, but definitely not worth the effort and even the cost.

One tip if you’re doing anything with beeswax, though – find an old crock pot and keep it warm as you work. I had to reheat the mixture probably about 10 times as I was melting it on a homemade double boiler in the kitchen and doing the messy work in the basement.

Stay happy and healthy, All! <3
