None of your beeswax

Well, the post really doesn't have much to do about "none of your beeswax".
I was using up more scrap fabric making beeswax wraps for food.  I chuckled while making these wraps "none of your beeswax" came to mind.
I remember as a kid in the 50s and 60s hearing "none of your beeswax".  I don't remember who I heard it from, if it was from my parents, grandparents, teachers, babysitters, friends or all of the above.  But I did know that it meant, mind your own business.
Where did such a strange saying come from?  Well,  thankfully the internet has a wealth of information including the definition of "none of your beeswax", well sorta.
 According to Wikipedia: In the 1930s, a slang version rendered the saying as "Mind your own beeswax".  It is meant to soften the force of the retort.  Folk etymology has it that this idiom was used in the colonial period when women would sit by the fireplace making candles together, though there are many other theories.
Now back to business. Making beeswax wraps replaces the use of plastic wrap and bags.  Also, beeswax is a natural antibacterial product.  What a great way to wrap up your lunch.  As an avid recycler I think these are a grand idea.
I searched the internet and found an easy technique to make these wraps.  I preferred the brush the melted wax on the fabric technique verses melting the wax in the oven and dipping the fabric.  With just three ingredients melted together: 1cup natural beeswax, 1/4 cup tree resin and 2 tablespoons of jojoba oil, I was whipping up these wraps in no time.
I've made a few wraps for each of my kids to include in their Easter baskets.  They'll be the final judges if these wraps are such a grand idea.
