A really cute project for those left over scraps of fabric is to make Wax Covers. I don’t have to tell you that ‘back in the day‘ there was no aluminium foil…. Wax covers really come in handy when you need to cover food during a camping event, or any other SCA event!
So, here is a list of items you need:
- left over fabric (linen works best)
- an old frying pan/ skillet
- beeswax (at least 100 grams)
- a place to dry the wax covers
- old newspapers to protect your floor
How to make them:
Melt the wax in the pan, put the scraps of fabric in the hot wax (be careful not to burn yourself!) until they are saturated and then hang them to dry. Put the newspapers on the floor for the dripping of the wax. When the covers are dry you can use them time and time again.
