What you will need:
- Deep baking tray or electric frypan
Method:
- Place your block of wax in the baking tray or frypan and melt on a low heat.
- Once melted add your coconut oil.
- Dip the fabric ¾ into the wax. Give a light shake until it stops dripping. The wax is hot so make sure it has cooled a little to move on to the next step.
- Rotate your fabric to dip the last ¼ into the wax. Let the excess wax drip off.
- After 30 seconds the wax will be completely hard and your wrap is done.
