DIY Beeswax Bread Bag - Craft With ME!

Creating your own beeswax-covered fabric bread bag is a fun and eco-friendly project that can help keep your bread fresh for longer. To begin, you will need a piece of fabric large enough to wrap around your loaf of bread and some beeswax pellets. Start by sewing the fabric into a bag shape, leaving one end open for inserting and removing the bread.
Once your bag is sewn, preheat your oven to a low temperature, around 150-200 degrees Fahrenheit. Sprinkle the beeswax pellets inside the bag, making sure to distribute them evenly. Place the bag on a baking sheet and put it in the oven. Keep a close eye on the bag as the beeswax melts, ensuring it coats the fabric evenly. Once melted, take the bag out of the oven and let it cool and harden.
The beeswax coating will create a natural and breathable barrier that helps preserve the freshness of your bread by keeping it moist and preventing it from drying out. Enjoy your homemade bread bag and the delicious bread it will help keep fresh!
Benefits of Beeswax:
A natural and eco-friendly choice for those looking to reduce their environmental impact.
Creates a protective barrier around food items, helping to keep them fresh for longer periods.
Antimicrobial and antifungal, meaning it can help inhibit the growth of mold and bacteria on the surface of food.
Cleaning the Beeswax Bags:
Begin by gently wiping the interior and exterior of the bag with a damp cloth. Be sure to do this without using any soap or detergent, as these can degrade the beeswax coating on the fabric.
If there are any stubborn crumbs or residue inside the bag, you can gently scrape them off using a soft brush or your fingernail. Avoid using anything sharp that could damage the fabric.
To deodorize the bag, you can sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside and let it sit for a few hours before shaking it out or gently wiping it clean.
If the bag needs a more thorough cleaning, you can wash it in cool water with a mild dish soap. Be sure to air dry it completely before using it again to prevent any mold or mildew growth.
By following these steps, you can keep your Beeswax Cloth Bag clean and ready to use for storing your delicious bread for many more uses to come.

Lay the bags between parchment paper and iron making sure to only let your iron come into contact with the parchment. ( you will have a messy iron otherwise) it will melt and redistribute the wax evenly on and into the fabric. For bags, cut a piece of parchment to lay inside the bag to prevent the sides of the bag from sticking together. Yours are very cute!

You might want to add some jojoba oil to the beeswax to make the bags more pliable. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJDFpKuopqZ5Y9Usi=2nLQohAy8A_SoVLx
