Beeswax Wraps

This is a perfect first post because I discovered Besswax wraps a few years ago and have never been disappointed. Infact, Beeswax wraps were one of my first experiments in sustainability and I still have a few of my original wraps. They are reuseable, dry quickly after washing and are worth the investment. The price ranges depending on brand and design. Besswax wraps can be found in a variety of sizes, such as bowl covers or on a roll. You can even use them to wrap food and they fold and put away neatly, taking up wayyyy less space than the age-old box of plastic wrap. I have tried 3 different brands, each with cute designs and colors, and have not found a performance difference between brands. The only con I have found is the texture seems to change with washings/time, they do need to be hand washed. Here are a couple helpful tips to using these wraps to replace plastic wrap, aluminum foil, and plastic lids.

  1. If the wrap is not “sticking” easily, warm up the wrap in your hands and it will work like new. I read this in the original packaging I received, and it works!
  2. These fold up neatly and are very storage friendly, so I recommend keeping them together with a wood clothes pin, so they are not floating around a drawer.
