Today I’m going to dig into my sewing stash and find fabric to make beeswax sandwich wraps and bowl covers. Cut fabric to size you want. Put on parchment paper on cookie sheet or fabric you don’t care about (not your ironing board) and grate beeswax onto the fabric, layer with another piece of parchment paper and iron till the wax melts into the fabric (did I say cut it with pinking shears if you have them). Some people use jojoba oil also and some use just beeswax or add something else. You can reuse these over and over instead of plastic wrap, bowl covers or sandwich bags They can be washed with dish soap and warm, not hot, water. Of course, do not use in microwave or with heat. There are many tutorials on the internet.
