These DIY soy wax wraps are a fantastic way to create a sustainable alternative to plastic wrap. They are reusable, biodegradable, and easy to make. Materials Needed: - 100% cotton fabric (lightweight, if possible) - Soy wax pellets - Parchment paper - Paintbrush - Grater (if using a block of soy wax) - Baking sheet - Iron Instructions: 1. Prep the Fabric: Begin by washing, drying, and ironing your fabric. Then cut it into your desired sizes using scissors. 2. Melt the wax: Use a double boiler to melt your wax on low heat until the solids are completely dissolved 3. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper. This will protect the baking sheet and make cleanup easier. 4. Coat the fabric: Place a piece of cut fabric on the parchment paper and evenly coat your melted soy wax pellets over the fabric. 6. Iron it: Set your iron to the lowest temperature and iron your fabric covered by parchment paper for about 30 seconds. 7. Remove and Dry: Carefully remove the baking sheet from the top. Lift the fabric by two corners and wave it gently in the air for a few seconds to help it cool and harden. The wax will set quickly. 8. Repeat: If the wrap seems too thin or not fully saturated, you can repeat the process by adding more melted wax. 9. Cool and Store: Allow the wraps to cool completely before using them. Store them flat, folded, or rolled in a drawer or a basket for easy access. #diy #clothes #zerowaste #zerowasteliving #sustainableliving
