For bug bites. F yes. Also for sore muscles. And on the temples for headaches.
(White tiger balm is helpful for sensory overload.) I carry it with me everywheeere.
I've been wanting to do this for yearrrrs. Finally. FINALLYYY. It doesn't stick to glass, but it does stick to itself. 100% cotton fabric, prewash and dry. Cut with a shearing scissors to prevent fraying. (Or hem.) I opted for a 1:1:1 ratio of beeswax, coconut oil, and pine resin. Double boiler to melt. Apply less and layer the wax as needed. Mm... Spreading with a spoon did not work as well as a silicone brush. Iron under parchment paper to spread + seal. (Or bake at 200β° F briefly.) Hottt water + soap for clean up (hands, utensils, etc.) Cold water to clean the cloths, as needed. *A steamer can take out any wax mix spills on the floor. (We listen, and we don't judge ) I love it. It made my kitchen smell like pine and propolis.
*Native* Seed B*mbs. The local wildlife will love you for it. TLDR: Mix native seeds with soil, clay, and water, forming them into balls and then letting them dry. Long form:
Native wildflower seeds, compost, clay (powder or clay soil), and water. Mix Ingredients: Combine the clay and compost in a bowl, ensuring a 3:1 ratio of clay to compost. Gradually add water while mixing, aiming for a dough-like consistency. Add Seeds: Incorporate the native wildflower seeds into the mixture. Form Balls: Pinch off small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, roughly 1-inch in diameter. Dry and Store: Place the seed balls on a flat surface to dry for 24-48 hours in a cool, shady place. Store the dried balls in a cardboard box until ready to plant. Distribute: Scatter the seed balls in your desired planting area.
