How to do it. Step-by-Step Tutorial from Spoonflower Reusable Food Wrap Supplies The measurements listed below will yield enough to cover one 27” x 18” Organic Cotton Sateen fat quarter. 1 fat quarter of Terrazzo small Reusable Food Wraps Project printed on Organic Cotton Sateen* or woven cotton remnant fabric 2 Tablespoons solidly-packed, grated raw beeswax or easy-to-melt beeswax pellets 1 1/2 Tablespoons powdered tree resin (food-grade variety, if you can find it) 1/2 teaspoon organic jojoba oil Pinking shears Old grater (raw beeswax is hard and somewhat difficult to grate, an alternative is beeswax pellets) Old measuring spoons Old electric wok or a stove-top, double boiler set-up for melting the ingredients Wooden stir stick Wide roll of unbleached parchment paper Short-bristle, 2” wide brush Old iron Hair dryer (optional) Drying rack or clothesline (optional) Helpful tips before you get started 1) *I recommend using Spoonflower’s Organic Cotton Sateen because their eco-friendly print process uses 100% biodegradable, non-toxic inks – good choices for a fabric intended to wrap our foods. Using thin but tightly woven organic cotton is key to wraps that will readily absorb the wax but also helps malleability. 2) You may have noticed I specify using old tools for this project. The beeswax residue is difficult to completely remove so it’s best to have a dedicated set of tools for your reusable wraps. Looking for old tools? Try your local thrift shop! 3) You can easily find all the materials at Amazon. For a Step-by-Step Tutorial, please check the Spoonflower video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_sNo2a-a6g&t=118s
