can we add scented essential oil into beeswax paper making process? how much essential oil has to be added ?

Yes, you can add scented essential oil into the beeswax paper making process. Essential oils can give your beeswax wraps a pleasant aroma. However, it's important to note that not all essential oils are safe for use with food, so you should ensure that any oil you use is food grade.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

1. Start by grating your beeswax. You'll need about 0.35 ounces (10 grams) for a 12x12 inch piece of fabric.

2. Spread the grated beeswax evenly over the fabric, which should be laid out on a baking sheet.

3. Preheat your oven to about 185 degrees Fahrenheit (85 degrees Celsius) and place the baking sheet in the oven. Wait for the beeswax to melt completely. This should take about 5-10 minutes.

4. Once the beeswax has melted, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven (be careful, it's hot!). Now it's time to add the essential oil. For a piece of fabric of this size, you should add about 5-6 drops of essential oil. Spread it evenly over the fabric using a brush.

5. Once the essential oil is spread, put the baking sheet back in the oven for another minute or so, just to make sure everything is well combined.

6. Finally, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the beeswax paper cool and harden.

Remember, the amount of essential oil can be adjusted based on your preference for scent strength. But be careful not to add too much, as it can overpower the natural scent of the beeswax and may not be safe for use with food.
