'How To Use Beeswax Wraps as a Plastic Alternative (reusable, biodegradable) and care for them'

03:44 Mar 9
'When I mention my beeswax wraps, some people don\'t know what they are. And then they wonder how to use beeswax wraps. So in this video, I\'ll show you a few different ways to use and care for them, and what makes them so great.  Beeswax wraps come in multiple sizes so you\'ll be able to fit them over almost any dish in your kitchen. I got my wraps from the local farm market a few years ago, and I\'ve been in love with them ever since. (The vendor I got them from also sells them on their website here: https://impactearthroc.com/kitchen). They\'re a great reusable, biodegradable alternative to plastic. You can use them in many of the same ways you\'d use plastic.  Depending on how often you use them, and how well you take care of them, they\'ll last at least a year. At that point you can \"refresh\" them by putting them on baking paper on a cookie sheet and placing them in an oven on low. This allows the wax to remelt itself over the wrap. (Just be sure not to leave them in the oven too long, or the wax will melt right off the wrap into a puddle). If your wraps are too worn, you can also sprinkle some fresh beeswax flakes over them before sticking them in the oven. The heat will melt the flakes into the wraps sealing up any holes.   ---------------------------------------------  STAY CONNECTED -  Follow The Woodland Elf on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amberthewoodlandelf Follow The Woodland Elf on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thewoodlandelf  Follow The Woodland Elf on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thewoodlandelf  Follow The Woodland Elf on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/thewoodlandelf  Website/blog: https://thewoodlandelf.com   ----------------------------------------------  Hope you enjoy this video.

I find that people often want to know exactly what I use, so I\'ve started including exact links when I can find them. However, it\'s simply meant as a guide and you can substitute with whatever comparable brands/products you might have available in your own area. Also some of the links may be affiliate links, which means I may receive a small commission from the company if a sale is made. It doesn\'t cost you any extra; it\'s just a simple way to help support my work on this channel.
