| Status: | planning |
| Release Date: | late 2018 (documentation pending) |
| Initiator: | Lukas |
| Materials Used: | beeswax, kitchen towels (or straight fabric) |
| Tools Used: | scissors, flatiron (Bügeleisen) |
| Approx. Cost: | 12 € (fabric) + ??? € (wax) for ??? wraps |
In order to reduce our use of aluminum foil and cling foil (Frischhaltefolie) even more, my wife and I want to make some beeswax-impregnated wrapping cloth. It should be affordable and easily made so it can be copied by others and given away as a small present.
Materials
- beeswax
- local? perhaps HeidelbergHonig
- Bio-Honig.com (4.90 €/100 g)
- already mixed with other ingredients? [1], [2]
- cotton fabric
- some scraps
- two 140 × 60 cm pieces from Stoff-Ideen (Plöck)
- strawberries: 125 g/m²
- yellow: 131 g/m²
Starting Points
search terms:
- Wachstücher/Bienenwachstücher
- wax wrap
DIY instructions:
- "Beeswax Wrap - Reusable Substitution for Plastic Wrap" on Instructables
- Zerowastefamilie.de - add oil for flexibility?
- Utopia.de
- Wax Wrap "workshops" page - very few details
- Johanna Rundel - hairdryer for final touch, 20 % oil!
commercial options:
- Bee's Wrap (high shipping cost to Germany)
- Wildwax Tuch (still pretty expensive...but sold in some Heidelberg stores)
- Wax Wrap - also add resin, sell "DIY wax blocks"
