DIY Beeswax Food Wrap Blend Pellets
$21.00
Our beeswax wrap blend just got even easier to use - we know the one part of the process that people sometimes struggle with is shaving the blocks of our blend, so we've done it for you!
These pellets are our ready-to-use blend of beeswax, damar tree resin and coconut oil - no measuring, pre-melting or blending required, and now no cutting or shaving too!
It’s as simple as selecting your fabric, placing a few pellets of blend onto the fabric, and infusing the wax blend into the fabric with heat from either an oven or iron.
And you know the recipe is right, because it’s the same recipe we use on our Dee’s Bees ready-made wraps. Your DIY beeswax wraps will be every bit as flexible, sticky, durable and hygienic as ours.
Our standard block weighs 120 grams, so we've made our small pellet pack the same size - that's enough beeswax blend to cover over half a metre of fabric, so you could make:
Our full colour printed instructions tell you all you need to know to make your wraps using your oven or an iron to infuse the blend into the fabric, plus a bunch of handy tips and care instructions. (we did write these instructions before we made pellets though, so the instructions will refer to shavings) And if there’s any question we missed, just pop on over to our facebook page or drop us an email and we’ll be happy to help.
And since they say a picture is worth a thousand words, here’s a short video of Leo making a wrap using the oven method:
A few more things you might want to know:
What’s in the blend?
Pure New Zealand beeswax, damar tree resin and Pacific coconut oil*.
* From 6 August 2023 we've switched from jojoba oil to coconut oil. We love that the coconut oil is grown in our neighbouring Pacific islands and we can help their economies, and the oil is refined right here in New Zealand. Jojoba is grown in the northern hemisphere, so switching to coconut saves a whole lot of mileage and is the greener, more sustainable option.
What else do I need?
Where do I get fabric from?
We have a selection of our most popular fabrics available right here on our site: Pure Cotton Fabrics, and because they're the same fabrics we use, you know they'll work perfectly.
Or any fabric store should have suitable fabrics - look for pure cotton in a quilting or craft weight.
Why on earth is it in a plastic bag?
Aha! Gotcha! It's actually a genuine cellophane bag made from vegetable cellulose - fully biodegradable and home compostable.
We ship worldwide from our home in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand.

We send our beeswax candles, wraps, DIY blend, and polishes worldwide and have never had a problem with border restrictions. Generally finished beeswax products are acceptable for import in most countries.
However, in some countries raw beeswax may not to be allowed in order to protect the health of their local bees. We get it. After all, Kev and Dee are beekeepers, first and foremost. On that basis, we opt to make our beeswax blocks and pellets available to New Zealand addresses only.
Some countries may have various border or import charges - please note that you will be responsible for any such charges.
We're committed to eliminating plastic wherever we can - the clear bags our kits are packaged in are NOT plastic. They are genuine cellophane, made from vegetable cellulose and are fully biodegradable and home compostable.
And we're very happy to announce that the black courier bags we use are also NOT plastic! They are made from plants and are fully biodegradable, and home compostable. And, a little oddly, they smell like fresh toast, or maybe popcorn!

Very happy with purchase. Will buy again
Great - very easy to use and not too messy.
order went smoothly, self pick up. liked using pallets vs bigger block to make my own wraps at home
I bought the food wrap pellets to make some of my own beeswax wraps. They arrived swiftly and were packaged up well. Instructions were easy to follow and I am now the happy owner of some home made beeswax wraps. Delighted with my efforts.
I refreshed some old wraps I had, the pellets were so easy to use and great that I didn’t have to grate or cut a block of wax. Great service as well :)
This was so incredibly easy and it works beautifully! I'm very happy with my purchase.
I found using the pellets very easy to use... it eliminates the grated knuckle syndrome. The blend ensures the wraps are not board stiff, the pockets I made stick well, and when the flats are used to cover containers, the warmth of my hands was sufficient to ensure a good seal.
So much easier to use than slicing the blocks. Thanks Dees Bees for a great product & great service.
Great product! Fast shipping, really happy! Have already ordered again. Thank you so much :)
Great product and very happy with my wraps. One suggestion is that if the pellets were smaller they would be easier to use hence 4 star not 5 star rating.
