Ames Farm Beeswax Wrap Bar

A single 3.25 oz bar is enough to create approximately four 12x12-inch squares, or a mix of three 12x12-inch and two 8x8-inch squares, depending on how heavily you coat your fabric.

Natural fibers like 100% cotton or linen work best because they absorb the wax mixture effectively. Avoid synthetic fabrics like polyester, as they do not hold the wax coating well.

With proper care, your homemade wraps should last between 12 and 18 months. You can refresh them by reapplying a small amount of the wax mixture if the coating begins to wear thin.

Yes, always hand wash them using cool water and a mild, eco-friendly soap. Avoid hot water, as it will melt the wax coating, and let them air dry completely before storing.

The pine rosin provides the necessary tackiness to help the wrap cling to itself and your containers. It creates a secure, self-adhesive seal that holds its shape using the warmth of your hands.

They are excellent for produce, cheese, bread, and covering bowls. However, you should avoid using them with raw meat or fish to prevent cross-contamination, as the wraps cannot be washed in high-heat cycles.
