Can differ from images, but will have the same theme. Detailed Instruction leaflet   The instructions: Pre-heat oven to 80°C Place the unwaxed wrap on the unbleached parchment paper on a baking tray. Grate your Ballyvourney beeswax Bar evenly over your unwaxed wrap – covering all areas. Being careful to use the desired amount to have enough for all your unwaxed wraps. Put the tray into the pre-heated oven for a few minutes until the wax has melted – watching and monitoring continuously. Take it out and using the basting brush to distribute the newly melted wax blend across the surface of your wrap. No need to turn over as the wax will melt through the fabric to the other side, waxing both sides. Using tongs to remove from baking paper and hang to set. Once set you can sew your button on to make a cute sandwich bag or snack pouch out of one of your new wraps. Note of caution: Melting wax can be very hot and beeswax  liquifies at a low temperature – take all necessary safety precautions using oven gloves and tongs. We recommend you wash and dry your cotton before you start. Once set your beeswax wrap is ready to go! Wrap cheese, fruit, bowls or sandwiches. Fabrics may vary from those pictured. A great gift idea!
