Q & A
1.Can you use soy wax?
It doesn’t work as well because it has a lower melting point so not as good as beeswax
2.Why do you need pine resin?
Pine resin will assist when molding your wraps. It will keep the wraps from cracking and allow the wraps to adhere much better
3.Why do you use Jojoba oil?
It gives the wraps a bit more softness and flexibility which aids in the molding of the wrap. Jojoba oil also has anti-bacterial properties and has a long shelf life. Therefore, you shouldn’t use other oils as they can go rancid.
4.Why aren’t my wraps molding and clinging together?
This may happen if you do not use the pine resin and jojoba oil.
Also, the best thing to do is to activate your wraps before your first use. To do this scrunch up your wrap and this will make your wraps tackier.
You are using your warm hands to mold the wrap around your bowl but remember it sticks to the surface but it also sticks to itself so overlap the edges of the wrap for a good seal.
5.How do I wash my wraps?
Place them in cold water and use a mild detergent. You can gently use a cloth or use your fingers to wipe it clean and then air dry.
6.How long do the wraps last?
About 1 year. Depending on how much they are used.
7.Do I just throw them out after a year?
No! Once you see a lot of cracks in the wax or any wax chipping off you can renew your wraps by re-waxing them using one of the four methods in this video.
8.How do I know what I have in my wraps in the fridge, because they are not see through?
You can color code your wraps. Green for avocado, red for tomato, yellow for onion or you can use fabric pens and write on the names on the fabric before you wax them!
9.Do I have to turn it over and wax the other side?
No. If you have used a nice thin pre-washed cotton fabric then the wax will seep through to the other side.
10.How do I store my beeswax wraps?
You can lay them flat or fold them and store in your wax paper drawer. Or you can roll them around a wax paper or wrapping paper cardboard roll and place a piece of parchment paper around them to keep them from picking up dust or particles. Or roll them and place them in a wax paper box.
11. Why are my beeswax wraps not sticking?
Could be a few reasons.
- You didn't use the pine resin
- You don't have enough wax on your wrap
- You didn't scrunch up your new wrap to activate it

Thanks for the video! Instead of making a mess in the double boiler, I use a wide mouth mason jar and a paintbrush. No need to clean, just put the lid on and it's ready to go when I need to make more or touch-up the ones I have.
Thank you so much for this amazing, in depth tutorial! I really just came here to find out which kind of fabric I would need and the ingredients involved but I stayed for the entire video and found myself entranced by your demonstration. Now I have 4 ways to try making them! Thanks for taking your time to teach us. You are so easy to listen to and very thorough in your explanations. 🥰
I really love this. This just makes sense! Thank you so much for taking the time to make the video.
Excellent tutorial! By far the best I’ve watched, thank you Patty and you have a new fan!
Love these reusable wraps! Perfect for a stash buster too.
Love this idea. 😍
I love how you not only showed the different methods, but that you also included wrapping and folding techniques! An excellent tutorial! Thanks!
Thank you for your thorough explanation. I like the paintbrush method the best!!!
Very thorough tutorial (without unnecessary blabber), and you actually explain how to use them/what to use them on! Thank you so much. I can’t wait to try this :)
I really appreciate the thorough video!
Excellent tutorial! Thank you so much for not only showing so many methods to make these, but how to use them and wrap things at the end!
Hi Patti, What a superb demonstration! Thank you so much for doing this organised and well explained video. I have made a few before but perhaps the fabric I used were not thick enough they did not turn out as I had expected. I will definitely try your fourth method when I get my ingredients together
This was a fantastic tutorial. Concise, well thought out, and well presented. Thank you, I will be using the final method 😊
OMG what a great idea! Thank you for all of your instructions. I really love the sandwich wrapper. Such a fun way to get more plastic out if our kitchens :)
I know what I'm doing with my scrape fabric! Wonderful!!
Love the brush method! Brilliant! Thank you. 💕🐝
Been wanting to make these forever and I love that you have different methods, so thank you! I can't wait to try, and I know a couple of people who will appreciate them as gifts, too. I have been concerned about the level of harmful waste produced by my household with plastics and such so I am looking for ways to decrease that.
I have been using a few that I purchased and am so happy you shared this. Perfect Christmas gifts for my family. Thank you so much❤️
I used the last method and was amazed at how many wraps I got altogether in various sizes. I appreciate your folding howtos as well
Thank you for your excellent tutorial with the option for different methods. This is very well-organized! I can't wait to try this.
