Beeswax Wraps

 In Room 11 we have been making beeswax wraps.

We can use beeswaxwraps instead of using paper or glad wrap.

We can use them to wrap our sandwhiches or left overs we want ot keep in the fridge.




First we had to grate the solid blocks of beeswax.

It was quite a slow job and we needed lots of persistence to get enough.


The next step was to sprinkle the grated wax over our choosen fabric.

We had to sprinkle it evenly.






Next we placed a sheet of baking paper over the fabric and we started to iron it.

 We ironed it slowly and carefully until  all  the wax melted.













 It didn't take long before the wax was dry and hard and our wrap was ready to use.

The beeswax made the classroom smell nice.
