…a funny thing happened on the way to the bar
Beeswax Wraps
Yet another anti-plastic post. I’m trying to be more sustainable. This one was pretty easy. There are several ways to do this, but this one worked for me, given the way I deal with my wax.
I have a crockpot that is dedicated to wax crafts. So I took some fat quarters and used pinking shears to cut the edge after I washed them.
See the pretties?
Cut to size. Fat quarters are pretty big, so I have some that are full size, some half, and some quarters.
So I heated up the crockpot to low (mistake one). And placed the fabric face up (mistake two) and slopped on a fairly large amount of wax (mistake three).
But, I got the hang of it. I turned it to high. And painting a couple of inches at a time. And painted the underside.
It works better this way.
I made a dozen or so.

They turned out great! Do you take custom orders?

I do, in fact. I might try the other method to see if it is better before, though. We need to get you out to the farm soon!
