Documentation week 14 - beeswax wrap


 This has got to be the thriftiest thing I have ever made.



I've been keeping the winter blues at bay by lighting candles in the evening, and avoiding paraffin candles in favour of beeswax ones from the farmer's market. Anyway, I had some leftover candle stubs from these.

When I was printing the textiles for these bags, I brought along some scrap fabric to do a test print on. I'm glad I held onto it afterwards.

Leftover beeswax + leftover scrap fabric + leftover test print = ...


A re-usable alternative to plastic wrap. Up-cycled three ways. Coated in beeswax, it seals containers, sticks to itself and to other surfaces, softened by the warmth of your fingers. And it smells amazing.
