How To Make A Beeswax Wrap

[@magpievariety]

Do you sell the fabrics you design?

[@KlairedeLysOfficial]

Yes, link in the description box :)

[@magpievariety]

Just bought a yard each of Blue Bees and Beautiful Bugs to line some leather bags. Can’t wait to get them!

[@KlairedeLysOfficial]

@@magpievariety :O Thank you!

[@ruthmoog]

Do you need to be careful to use fabrics with food-safe print/fibres?

[@abyers6593]

Simply Klaire 7

[@bigscruppy]

Note to people making these: they're only compostable if you use fabric that is 100% natural material ie cotton, linen, hemp. Anything else is just woven plastic.

[@highl1keplanes]

Thank you!! I was gonna ask about it

[@RockyLuvsJonghyun]

It’s best to use those natural fabrics anyway as they absorb the wax better.

[@annaparham3138]

i was wondering this thank you!!

[@ChiiSan09]

Yes thank you. I figured as much but def wanted to be sure!

[@charlottemason4525]

Thanks.I anxious to try these... Saw them on TV. You're very Pretty , NICE Hair Color. (I subscribed 🙂)

[@Naromuffy]

these wraps are VERY expensive in my country so this is a lifesaver, thank you!

[@WitchesEnvy]

what the heck why are they so expensive

[@Naromuffy]

@@WitchesEnvy my question exactly! Now I have no excuse not to make them myself.

[@sonyajordan8597]

I know!!! the only reason I didn’t own any were because of how expensive they were. A small pack of three can vary from $35-45 and I can’t justify that for 3-6 months of use.

[@loptylou4727]

yeah 40 dollars for a pack of three is never fun

[@Anione111]

Are you saying bees wax is cheap then? I should think bees wax would also be expensive.

[@emmabroughton2039]

Why are you composting them? The fabric is still good. Wash with hot water and soap, dry and then re wax them!

[@suides4810]

Emma Goudie the fabric is way too cute and costly to go into the bin after "one" use

[@emmabroughton2039]

@@suides4810 It really is!

[@dka54]

That's what i wanted to ask. Thanks. Have you tried it?

[@emmabroughton2039]

@@dka54 - I make my own wraps for family, friends and personal use. I use a mix of beeswax, jojoba oil and pine resin for mine, and use 100% cotton fabric so that when it finally gets too shabby to re wax, I can compost it.

[@BeccaBullard8]

Emma Goudie why do you use pine resin?

[@brittanycassidy5322]

How do you wash them after each use?

[@KlairedeLysOfficial]

@@brittanycassidy5322 Warm (NOT hot) water and kitchen soap :)

[@loopyfrog]

I've missed "and that's it, you're done." hehe

[@MonkeyBunnyShop]

To remove the waxx from the pan, you can put water in pan and heat it up, then cool it, then skim of qax from surface. Or i like to pop it in the freezer then pop the whole water out along with the wax 😃

[@FinnickH]

Oh thanks for the tip! I was a bit scared about the cleaning process 😅😅

[@catmenot7143]

Or just use a pan for that.

[@FinnickH]

@@catmenot7143 Not everyone has the space or money to get a pan specifically to make beeswax wrap... Don't you think it's just uselessly wasteful to have an item for only one unique purpose? 😅

[@catmenot7143]

Ambroise Finnick You have a point! I was only suggesting it to avoid the extra work. The dollar store does sell some cheap trays so they aren't expensive or hard to find but I get you.

[@marybirder5663]

@@FinnickH People who enjoy diy projects and crafts usually have separate supplies for that purpose. I bought baking sheets at a dollar store and also picked up an inexpensive iron, which is designated for crafts only. Irons are also a tool that can be used to melt wax. We're not wasteful, crafter's are skilled at finding clever ways to make pretty things at home instead of buying decorative items, which can be expensive.

[@TheRubyFeline]

These are so great! I also saw someone make these with the addition of jojoba oil and pine resin which add to the flexibility, help them mold to a shape even better and make last llonger (the wax doesn't crumble as much). Smell is nice too.

[@XusernamegoeshereX]

Any wrap worth its salt WILL contain those things, not JUST wax.

[@jennyjoyssoap7857]

Véronique LaChatte I love the additional cling that pine resin give to beeswax wraps. Pine resin is also naturally antibacterial and anti-fungal giving your food extra protection from bacteria.

What does the resin ang jojoba oil contribute?

[@essaitchearee4810]

Your soothing voice almost made me fall asleep 😹😹 Nice DIY 👍👍

[@heatherburke9583]

Can you revitalize a worn wrap by remelting it or adding more beeswax?

[@KlairedeLysOfficial]

You can.

[@hannahscott463]

You can but it's much less sanitary.

[@codename495]

Yes but you will need to boil the remaining wax out, wash the fabric and start fresh.

[@Lacroix999]

Cerridwen Brown how is this “much less sanitary” to rewax when they wear out, when you reuse them all the time and simply wash them after each use? If you’re that worried about it, you can just place them in between a few layers of paper towels and run a iron over them to kill any possible bacteria or germs it may have accumulated and then rewax them

[@monkiram]

There's no reason it should be less sanitary. Rewaxing it is actually more sanitary than just reusing it because you've just given it a proper washing with hot water and soap, whereas when you're reusing the wrap, you just rinse it in warm water.

[@jessicaraine8403]

I use these for my Oui yogurt jars that I repurpose for my lunches... they're the perfect size for condiments, fruit etc but need a lid. I also keep the rubber bands that my asparagus comes in and i use it for added security around the top of the jar after putting my wax cloth over top. Yours are so beautiful!

[@ragdoll49]

I love these little jars, now I know what to use for lids, thanks.

[@sydneygerber1432]

I love those jars! I use them to put tiny things on my desk and hairties in my bathroom

[@Dosenfurz9000]

Life is funny. Years ago (9+) i frequently watched your videos and enjoyed your artistic style so much. I was a big fan of KlairedelysArt, so i didn't recognise you at first, but i remembered your calming voice. But my life changed and my interests shifted, i unsubscribed and forgot about you (Sorry). But in the last years i started living in a healthier and more conscious way. So things lead to another and i wanted to make my own beeswax wraps and looked for videos. And there i am again. Subscribed again because you are so charming and i like the videos you're making now. I think thats kind of funny. So thank you so much for this! And thank you so much for your soothing videos!

[@1ciagirl]

Excellent, not boring, gets right to the point. So many others going to these long involved explanations that really are not necessary if you have a working brain and a little imagination in your repertoire.

[@MagneticUnicornVlogs]

I didn't realize that's all it was!

[@KlairedeLysOfficial]

[@emohellowkittyxD]

I remember the first video I saw of yours, it was the Effie trinket makeup, and from the instant I started watching I have adored and loved you. The way your videos where mesmerized me and they had such a warm glow to them I would watch them all. I’ve missed your videos so much over the couple years you where gone on this channel and your others. To this day, even tho I may not love it as much as your makeup and SFX videos, I still adore you and how you make your videos. The way you film is a big reason but an even more moving way is your voice. It is so nastalgic to begin with because every time I hear your voice it takes me back to when I was just 13, I am almost 20 now. Your voice is also very calming and soothing, your child is so lucky to have you as a mother. It is so hard to explain the feeling of just hearing you makes me feel. It’s like there is only good and warm things in the world. I’ve missed you so much Klaire and you have and will always be one of the most influential and amazing people I have ever known. Thank you for all that you do and have done. There is so much more I want to say but just don’t know how right now. We love you so much! ♥️ Thank you.

[@raylene6462]

[@shirleyporter9025]

If you use the thinnest cotton you can find and add some jojoba oil or coconut oil, just toss the pellets into some oil just to cover them before you sprinkle. The thinner fabrics are much more flexible and therefore go around jar tops etc and the small amount of oil allows for more tackyness. The original Bees Wraps use the Jojoba oil. Thanks for this video...its so important to get away from clingfilm x

[@ambergreene6617]

When they stop sticking or get to crinkly, put them on a baking sheet and pop them in the oven. It remelts the beeswax and renews the wrap. It's brand new again. Every year or so put a tiny bit more wax on them to keep them going for years!

[@1012chart]

Hi... Thanks! I've just spent ages cleaning up the mess after making these on the ironing board with an iron!! It was soooo complicated. This is so much easier...

[@flutteringazure]

Lovely tutorial! A tip for cleaning out beeswax is to slightly heat the tray until all the wax has melted, and then mop it up with newspaper sheets and/or kitchen paper/loo roll. Discard the paper & your tray should be nice and clean again 👍

[@stefaniemaria6148]

Finally a really good tutorial! I've seen those on pinterest, and since I have bees myself and bees wax, I can easily make few, but I've never actually had a video-tutorial on this and I didn't want to waste resources on something I'm not sure about. Now I actually really want to try this. It would be life changing if it works out, since there's a lot of single use plastic in my house and I simply can't get my parents to actually think about the environment. Maybe those will help to reduce at least some parts of the single use plastic in our home.

[@norayogini]

I live in Italy and although we have a huge production of honey, beeswax wrap isn't that popular, so it can cost much. But this resolves it!! Thank you, I really appreciate!!!

[@willowdanger5855]

Gillianne Saliba Cotton or mostly cotton based fabric is recommended as it is thick and will hold the wax, unlike material such as polyester, where it will flake or burn in the oven :)

[@marta4048]

All bees wax is safe it's actually edible just not that tasty. Although it's better if you can get some organic one, ofcourse

[@gilliannesaliba8056]

I made these today and they didn't work. They just didn't stay on any container. Then I tried the method (melting, mixing, & ironing) that has pine resin and jojoba oil in them and that worked great! Perhaps the type of beeswax beads you buy makes a difference. I bought mine from Frontier Co-op. I wish your method worked because it was so much easier!

[@erinbenny1653]

You can renew old ones by putting in the oven on a low heat and adding extra beeswax also you can makethem by ironing the fabric and pellets between two pieces of greeseproof paper

A tip: melt the blocks of beeswax. Pour a thin layer on a silicone 'parchment paper'. It will harden in a couple of minutes. Peel it of the silicone and break it in small pieces. Repeat until your pot is empty. I had 2 kilos of beeswax and hated fighting with it. Now I have a couple of large glass weck pots and I just take the pieces I need.
