Ideal for making wraps in larger numbers, our 1 kg block of ready to use beeswax wrap blend takes out the messy measuring and blending, and lets you get right into making your wraps.Ā Ā
This block is a blend of beeswax, damar tree resin and coconut oil in the perfect ratios, - just add cotton fabric and make your wraps by your preferred method.Ā
FREE SHIPPING:Ā Ā Your block qualifies for free shipping in New Zealand.
SAVE:Ā Purchased as our standard 120 gram blocks, 1 kg of our blend would cost $157.70 - this bulk block saves you $18.70.
We recommend melting the block in a large double boiler or a crockpot/slow cooker, and applying the melted wax to your fabric with a paint brush, and then infusing the wax by your preferred method (either iron or oven method).Ā Ā
And you know the recipe is right, because itās the same recipe we use on our Deeās Bees ready-made wraps.Ā Your DIY beeswax wraps will be every bit as flexible, sticky, durable and hygienic as ours.
Each of our standard 120 gram blocks will wax over half a metre of fabric, so this 1 kg block will wax over 4.3 METRES of standard cotton fabric, so you could make:
Thereās enough beeswax blend inĀ a 120 gram block to cover over HALF A METREĀ of fabric, so you could make:
85Ā wraps of 20 x 25 cm, or
43Ā wraps of 30 x 33 cm, or
the exact sizes and shapes that will best suit your needs.
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.Ā And if thereās any question we missed, just pop on over to our facebook page or drop us an email and weāll be happy to help.
And since they say a picture is worth a thousand words, hereās a short video of Leo making a wrap using the oven method:
Ā
Ā A few more things you might want to know:
Whatās in the blend?
Pure New Zealand beeswax, damar tree resin and Pacific coconut* oil.
Ā * From 6 August 2023 we've switched from jojoba oil to coconut oil.Ā Ā 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.Ā Jojoba is grown in the northern hemisphere, so switching to coconut saves a whole lot of mileage and is the greener, more sustainable option.Ā
Ā
What else do I need?
Pure cotton fabric of your choice
Baking paper
An oven or iron (your choice of method)
Scissors ā pinking shears if you have them, but ordinary scissors work just fine as the wax blend will hold the fabric edge together.
Where do I get fabric from?
We have a selection of our most popular fabrics available right here on our site:Ā 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.Ā

International Orders and Bee Products

However, in some countriesĀ raw beeswax may not to be allowed in order to protect the health of their local bees.Ā We get it.Ā After all, Kev andĀ Dee are beekeepers, first and foremost.Ā On that basis, we opt to make our beeswax blocks and pellets available to New Zealand addresses only.Ā
Ā
Some countries may have various border or import charges - please note that you will be responsible for any such charges.Ā
Ā Ā
What about packaging?Ā Do you use plastic?
We're committed to eliminating plastic wherever we can - the clear bags our kits are packaged in are NOT plastic.Ā They are genuine cellophane, made from vegetable cellulose and are fully biodegradable and home compostable.Ā
And we're very happy to announce that the black courier bags we use are also NOT plastic!Ā They are made from plants and are fully biodegradable, and home compostable.Ā And, a little oddly, they smell like fresh toast, or maybe popcorn!
We offer the following payment options for your convenience:
I use the DIY beeswax wrap 1kg block and find it easy to use. Just hack off as much as I need each time, melt it in a double boiler, brush on my fabric and bake.

Beeswax 1kg premixed blocks for wraps
We are buying in bulk for our school Technology programme where we are grating the bees wax for wrap making. Really like having the 3 ingredients already together in one, but chopping the 1kg blocks into usable sizes is fun, but we like the economy of the bulk buy. Great service - quick delivery. I did notice that the last bar was a lot lighter in colour than the first - is this due to different batches of wax at different times of the year?
