A look at the state of small business in 2020

To learn about small business trends and life as a small business owner, Guidant Financial became a founding member of the Small Business Trends Alliance (SBTA), a group of companies dedicated to supporting small businesses with data trends and insights. The SBTA reports on data to help small business owners grow their businesses as well as bring transparency to small business ownership by giving prospective business owners the information they need to be successful.

To achieve this goal, Guidant Financial and SBTA companies surveyed over 3,100 current and aspiring small business owners nationwide with our annual Small Business Trends survey. We asked small business owners questions ranging from their confidence in business in the current political landscape to their biggest obstacles as business owners. Here's a look at current small business trends and what to expect in the coming year.

2020: Back to basics

Though the US economy continues to expand, fears of a recession and political uncertainty seem to have caused many small business owners to act cautiously. A 38 percent drop in the share of those in their first year of business and a 13 percent decrease in the share of those looking to open an additional location suggests small business owners are looking at a "back to basics" approach. This emphasis on business fundamentals shows with more than three-quarters of respondents focusing on growing their current business location and a 13 percent year over year drop in those interested in opening an additional location.

More people than ever are choosing to pursue small business because of frustration with the way things are and a desire for a better life. There was a 27 percent increase in the share of small business owners who were motivated to start their own business by their dissatisfaction with corporate America. There was also a 24 percent decrease in the share of people who started a business because opportunity presented itself - such as buying their business from their employer.

This year, readiness to be their own boss was the most common reason entrepreneurs said they started their own business, followed by a desire to follow their passion. With only 18 percent of small business owners interested in selling their business to employees (compared to a quarter who would rather give their business to a family member), small business owners today aren't waiting for an opportunity - they're creating opportunity for themselves and those they love.

Small business owner confidence and happiness remains high

When asked about their confidence in small business in today's political climate, the average answer from small business owners was "somewhat confident" (on a 5-point scale from "very unconfident" to "very confident") - the same average from last year. However, there was a 44 percent increase in the share of small business owners who answered either "very unconfident" or "somewhat unconfident" from the prior year. Forty-nine percent of small business owners whose views align with the Democratic party had a "somewhat" or "very" confident outlook on small business in today's political climate, compared to 70 percent of Republican-aligned respondents.

Despite uncertainty, small business owners' happiness has remained high year over year. The average small business owner answered "somewhat happy" when asked how happy they are as a small business owner (on a 5-point scale from "very unhappy" to "very happy"). In fact, 29 percent of respondents answered "somewhat happy" while almost half (48 percent) answered "very happy." These results show small business owners aren't just content with their careers - they're thoroughly enjoying small business ownership.

Historically low unemployment leads to major labor issues

By November of 2019, the unemployment rate reached a historic low of 3.5 percent. This extremely strong labor market has had a major impact on small businesses. There was a 22 percent increase in the share of small business owners reporting recruiting and retention of employees as one of their biggest challenges in the last 12 months. With a strong economy leading to increased business, small businesses need to increase their headcount, and 32 percent of these businesses employ more than six employees. There was an increase of about five percent in the share of small business owners surveyed who would put additional capital into increasing staff; this number has grown for the past three years.

The lack of capital or cash remains the most cited challenge for small business owners, at 32 percent of the share of respondents, remaining about the same as last year. With the above exception of hiring and retaining talent, only managing and providing benefits grew as a challenge year over year, by nine percent of the share. There was a 13 percent drop in the share of small business owners struggling with administrative tasks such as bookkeeping and payroll - correlating with the 12 percent decrease in the share of those who would allocate extra money to administrative tasks if they had it.

Politics and small business owners

When asked what US political party most closely represents their political views, 41 percent of small business owners answered Republican, while 29 percent answered Democrat.

An 80 percent majority of those who answered Republican were men, the remaining 20 percent were women. There was more gender diversity among the small business owners who answered Democrat, at 64 percent men and 36 percent women.

When asked "how much has the government helped or hindered your small business during the current presidential term," 45 percent of small business owners answered the government provided no help or hindrance.

However, when broken down by political party affiliation, a more divisive picture emerges, with three and a half times more Democrats than Republicans responding that the government has "hindered a lot" and 60 percent more Democrats answering "hindered a little." Only three percent of Democrats said the government "helped a lot," 88 percent less than Republicans.

What are the most important political issues for small business owners?

The three biggest political issues affecting small business owners are business taxes, healthcare, and interest rates.

The top issue for small business owners was business taxes. In October 2019 alone, American companies paid $7.2 billion in import taxes (along with an additional $42 billion in costs since US trade tariffs began). In addition to a 21 percent federal corporate tax, small businesses in 44 states also pay state taxes, ranging from about four percent (Colorado) to 12 percent (Iowa). Small businesses also pay both state and federal unemployment taxes. There are further taxes levied on small businesses depending on situation and location, like real estate taxes or state-based taxes such as California's franchise fee tax or disability insurance tax. With all of these taxes adding up, it's no surprise that the costs weigh heavily on small business owners.

Providing healthcare for their employees and accessing it for themselves is one of small business owners' top concerns. A 2019 poll from Public Private Strategies showed that 69 percent of small business owners dealt with insurance cost increases in recent years. The same poll reported that 31 percent of small business owners saw health care costs increase by more than 10 percent annually. As the average cost of benefits for employers can add up to a nearly 50 percent increase in payroll costs and with insurance costs increasing year over year, business owners are trying to mitigate expenses.

It's clear that interest rates are in the top three biggest concerns for small owners, as 39 percent of respondents used one or more forms of debt financing to start their business. With three quarter-point interest rate cuts in 2019, the Federal Reserve undid nearly all of its rate increases from 2018, despite a growing US economy and unemployment rates at near-historic lows for most of the year (before reaching a historic low in November 2019). As the reasoning behind the cuts - a preemptive boost to slowing global economic growth and an attempt to mitigate the US-China trade war - continues into 2020, already an uncertain year, it's hard to say if interest rates will continue to lower (though some experts are predicting at least one cut in 2020).

Who are 2020's small business owners?

There was a four percent increase in women small business owners year over year, at 27 percent. While this growth of women small business owners is slow, it is consistent, with a year over year increase in women small business owners since 2017. Men continue to be the majority of small business owners, at 73 percent.

Forty-four percent of small business owners are Gen Xers (39 to 54 years old). These Gen X small business owners slightly lead baby boomer small business owners (55 to 73 years old), at 41 percent. Millennials (23 to 38 years old) come in third, at 12 percent, while only two percent of small business owners are 74 years old or older.

While previous results of the Small Business Trends survey demonstrated that education didn't have a bearing on profitability, more small business owners are starting with or gaining higher levels of education. There was a 77 percent increase in the share of small business owners with Associate's degrees year over year and an 11 percent increase in those with a Master's degree. This shift puts the plurality of small business owners with Associate's degrees this year at 31 percent, just barely edging out the 30 percent of small business owners with only a high school degree or GED, at 30 percent.

2020's hottest small business industries

Small business continues to thrive across many industries. Retail and business services are tied for the most popular small business industry, with both accounting for 13 percent of the total share. Construction and contracting closely follows at 12 percent of the share. The food and restaurant industry and residential and commercial service industries round out the top five, each at nine percent of the share. Year over year, the business services, retail, and food and restaurant industries remained in the top five most popular small business industries.

2020's most popular forms of small business financing

Cash remains the most popular form of small business financing for the third year in a row, with 37 percent of the share of respondents utilizing it to start their businesses. 401(k) business financing (also known as Rollovers for Business Start-ups or ROBS) remains the second most popular form of financing, with 13 percent of the share of respondents*. Assistance from friends and family decreased in share by 22 percent from the prior year, while the use of a line of credit increased in share by 10 percent.
* Please note respondents include Guidant Financial clients. Guidant Financial is a ROBS provider.

In conclusion

2020 is an important year for small business with a historically tight labor market, a major election, and significant global economic and political change on the horizon. Though the US has had the longest period of economic expansion in its history, the cumulative total of quarterly GDP growth has been far lower than other booms. Combined with trade wars, an uncertain political climate, and growing fears of a recession, it's of little surprise small business owners are on the lookout for tough times ahead, even if they're currently confident. And a cautious outlook might not be a bad one to have, as long as small business owners make sure not to avoid opportunities out of an overabundance of caution or fear.

With low-interest rates and sustained economic growth, 2020 has the opportunity to be a fantastic time to access growth capital or additional funding - or the financing to start or buy a brand-new business.

Instructions for how to make an all-natural herb garden soap recipe with dried lavender, peppermint, and calendula flowers. You can even use herbs from your own garden! Making six bars, it's naturally scented with a blend of herbal and floral essential oils.
This may be the prettiest herbal soap recipe I've created and I'm pleased to share it with you. The recipe is all-natural, free from palm oil, and beautifully scented and decorated. When blended together, lavender, peppermint, and marjoram make such a pleasant and sweet scent combo. The flower decorations compliment oils mixed into the soap too - dried calendula flowers for the calendula oil, lavender stems for lavender essential oil, and crushed peppermint for the peppermint essential oil. I finished off the look with a fine line of crushed peppermint leaves running down the middle of the bars.

Matching Herbal Bath Gifts

There's a story behind this herbal soap recipe. Not that long ago I showed you how to make pretty herbal bath fizzies. I loved them so much that I used them as inspiration to make a matching soap recipe. Both the fizzies and the handmade soap are made with the same dried herbs and a gorgeous blend of essential oils.

Though you could make the fizzies or the soap on its own, the idea is that you could make both and give them out as gifts. Imagine how delighted friends will be to receive a handmade bar of soap and two to three fizzies.

Herb Garden Soap Recipe

This recipe for herb garden soap will make six bars that are about 90-100g each. The essential oil blend is pleasantly herbal but any sharpness from the peppermint is softened by the lavender and marjoram oils. This is a herbal soap that invigorates the senses while being soft and feminine.

Lye solution
65g (2.29 oz) Sodium hydroxide (also called lye or NaOH)
120g (4.23 oz) Water (preferably distilled)
Soap Making Equipment Other Equipment needed

Stainless steel pan

2 heat-proof plastic jugs

a bowl

spatula

fine mesh strainer

a spoon

Apron

Rubber gloves

Eye protection

* Instructions on how to infuse the oil with calendula flowers are about halfway down on this page. You can also purchase it pre-made.

How to Make Herb Garden Soap

If you're new to making handmade soap, you should check out my four-part series on natural soap making. It gives a good introduction to what to expect from ingredients, equipment, recipes, and how to combine everything together to make soap. It's especially important to be careful when handling lye and part 2 below will tell you what to expect. Lye isn't something to be scared about using but you should know how to handle it safely.

Step 1: Prepare your workspace

The first thing you should do is pre-measure all of your ingredients and have your workspace set out. Have your solid oils measured into a stainless steel pan, the dried lye in a heat-proof jug, the water also in a heat-proof jug, and the liquid oils measured into a bowl. The essential oils to add after trace can be measured out later on in the process but also pre-measure the calendula oil. It should be in its own ramekin or small bowl. Have a rubber spatula and your soap mould(s) set out and ready to go.

Also, try to work undistracted. There are a lot of steps and it's best to work without interruption. Pets and kids out of the room and make sure to wear an apron and closed-toe shoes. Wear rubber gloves and eye protection when handling the lye or soap batter. Now let's get soaping!

Step 2: Mix the lye

I tend to do this step standing in the doorway. It's important to not breathe the steam in from this step so work in a ventilated space. Work next to an open window, door, or better yet, on a table outside.

Pour the lye crystals into the water and stir with your spatula. It gets hot during this step and a lot of steam will come rolling off the surface. When you're sure the lye is dissolved, set the jug into some water you've run into the sink or a basin. The cool water will help the lye solution to cool down.

Step 3: Melt the solid oils

Put the pan on the hob and turn it on to the lowest setting. Rinse the spatula off and use it to stir and break up the solid oils - this will help it to melt quicker. You can use the spatula for both your lye solution and oils, just rinse it each time you move from one to the other.

Step 4: Add the liquid oils

Take the pan off the heat when the solid oils are nearly melted and there are just a few floaters. Stir it a minute or so to allow these last pieces to melt. Next, pour the liquid oils into the pan and make sure to scrape the bowl out well. Castor oil is thick and sticky and needs help getting into the pan. Stir the oils together and take their temperature. For years I used a digital thermometer but I now use a Temperature Gun. It's so much quicker and easier.

Step 5: Mix the lye solution and oils

You're aiming to have both the pot of oil and the lye solution to be within ten degrees of each other. You also want them down to about 100-105 °F (38-41 ° C). The oils you can heat and cool easier so you'll need to work around the temperature of the lye solution.

When they're in the same range, pour the lye solution through the fine mesh strainer and into the pan.

Step 6: Blending

Insert the head of your stick (immersion) blender into the oils/lye solution at an angle. This is to reduce the air in the head and thus air bubbles in your soap. Use the stick blender as a spoon at first and stir gently.

Bring the stick blender to the centre of the pan and press it against the bottom. Turn the blender on for 2-3 seconds at a stand-still and then turn it off and stir again. Repeat these two steps until the batter starts to thicken up to a light 'Trace'. Also, the reason that I advise keeping the stick blender still while it's on is to reduce the chance of splattering. You know when you've hit a light Trace when the batter thickens to the consistency of runny yoghurt.

Step 7: Extra oils

After the batter has reached Trace, measure in the essential oils and pour in the calendula oil. Stir together well.

Step 8: Creating the fine line

Fill the cavities in your soap mold halfway with soap batter. Take pinches of the finely crushed peppermint leaves and sprinkle them on top, especially around the edges.

Using a spoon that will forever be used only for crafts and soap making, gently spoon soap batter on top. It will have thickened quite a bit more at this stage. Spread the batter so that it gets into the corners - do it by pushing the batter with the spoon rather than plopping it on. You might get air trapped underneath, and air pockets, if you plop rather than push.

Step 9: decorate the soap

Decorate the tops of your herbal soap using dried peppermint, calendula, and lavender stems. When finished, leave the soap uncovered and undisturbed on your workspace for at least a day. It's better that you leave it for 48 hours though since this is the amount of time it takes for the lye to completely react with the oils.

Step 10: Cure the bars

Now comes the hardest step. Waiting four weeks for the water to evaporate out of your bars! Place the bars on a layer of grease-proof (or baking) paper in an airy space out of direct sunlight. Space them out and let them dry for a month. After that, you can use them and give them away as gifts. For full instructions on how to cure handmade soap head over here

As for shelf-life, soap can last up to two years. It's all down to the specific ingredients you use though - look at all your bottles and see when the nearest best-by date is. That's the best-by date for your soaps. It pays to start with fresh ingredients, especially if you're wanting to make these ahead and give them away during the holidays.

If you enjoyed this tutorial, have a browse through the other soap recipes on Lovely Greens. I have a piece dedicated to tips on using dried flowers and herbs in soap making along with a host of other soap making ideas. Do keep in mind to make these along with their matching bath fizzies too.

Sustainable packaging for plants and garden goods

Chances are you’ve been hearing the word “plastic” a lot lately. Social networks are trending with #plasticfree, #plasticpollution, #zerowaste, #compostable, and top journals are highlighting the global plastic waste crisis, calling for a change.

It may not be easy to break away from the vicious cycle of consuming single-use plastics. We are all accustomed to their durability, transparency, shelf stability, and other superior properties. Plastic is deceptively cheap, however, we ought to remember that the real cost incurred with single-use plastic is severe environmental pollution. There is no sustainable solution to non-biodegradable waste management. Only a fraction of all flexible packaging produced gets recycled (4 % in the UK and the global average is likely to be even lower), the rest being condemned to landfills or incineration.

What if there was a solution, offering the same performance as conventional plastic, but a very different end of life? While conventional plastics stay intact for hundreds of years, contributing to climate change, compostable packaging acts like organic waste and only needs heat, humidity, and oxygen to fully biodegrade and return to earth. Not all compostable materials were created equal. TIPA’s high-performance packaging, comprised of unique blends of compostable polymers, doesn’t compromise on quality, or sustainability. Interested in giving it a go?

These five questions will help you identify the right compostable packaging solution for you:

What products are you packing?

A variety of compostable films and laminates offer different moisture and oxygen barriers and properties. To identify the right match, it is essential to have precise information about the product being packed: Is it food or non-food? Is it dry, moist, liquid, or perhaps comes in powder form? Does it have an expiration date, affecting your shelf-life expectations?

sTIPA’s packaging is designed to extend the shelf life of your product once the right match is found.

What type of material are you looking to replace?

Do you love the flexibility and transparency of polyethylene, but don’t want it to stay in a landfill for 15 generations to come? Are you looking for an eco-friendly version of polypropylene or a metalized barrier laminate? All these options have compostable alternatives that will allow the packaging to return to earth once it served its purpose. If you have technical specifications of conventional plastic material that works for your product, they will become handy in identifying the best compostable alternative.

What type of packaging do you need?

Do you require a zipper closure, a resealable option, or perhaps a stand-up pouch with a bottom gusset that can be placed on a shelf? All these formats are available as compostable and can be heat sealed and printed using compostable inks. You may also choose to purchase reels of compostable film and work with a co-packer to create your perfect packaging.

What are the required quantities?

How many bags do you typically order annually? Do you use them right away, or tend to store them for a year or two? Are you ready for a full-scale change, or would you like to dip your toes in the water first, by trying compostable packaging for one of your product lines? Depending on your answers, you may want to go with higher quantities of custom-made packaging, or lower quantities of standard-sized, ready-made bags that serve the environment just as well but will not have the advantage of personalized branding.

How do you pack your products?

Do you manually pack your products, or are you using Form, Fill and Seal (FFS) machinery? Where does the packing take place? Answers to these questions will help you make the right choice between pre-made packaging and reels of films for flow packing. Knowing the location will be useful for estimating the shipping costs and duration.

What’s next? You don’t have to know all the answers to start exploring compostable packaging – you are welcome to contact TIPA at any stage! Be sure to include some information about your packaging needs and expectations, it will help our packaging experts so they can get back to you with a suitable packaging proposal.

A whopping number of 8.3 billion metric tons of virgin plastics have been produced until now. Plastic production and consumption continue to grow, taking their toll on the environment. It takes determination and persistence to break the habit of using conventional plastics, but with the development of high-end compostable materials that imitate and replace conventional plastic, it is now much easier to make the switch.

A lot of industry leaders joined the New Plastics Economy Global Commitment and pledged to use only sustainable packaging solutions by 2025. More and more brands are following their lead, embracing compostable packaging across their supply chains.

Switching to compostable packaging can help position the company as innovative and environmentally responsible, further strengthening the brand’s positive image towards consumers’ growing environmental awareness.

Communication about the choice of compostable packaging as part of the company’s sustainable efforts plays an important marketing role, helping to increase sales, especially among the environmentally-conscious consumers of the post-Covid-19 era.

Help save our planet and your money! 🌎
If you're reading this, I'm guessing you're as frugal as we are & likely love getting your hands on anything that can help save a dollar in your home.

I've been using Bee's Wraps for almost 2 years and I've never been more sure about an eco-friendly product after comparing it to another popular brand!

Bee's Wraps are a plastic-free alternative to disposable plastics, which are often used for mere minutes and will end up polluting our oceans for centuries to come... never fully breaking down or leaving our ecosystems.

I calculated that in 10 years (at the rate I was previously using plastic bags), I'd spend nearly $1,723 on about 21,600 bags! 😱

Here's why I know these reusable beeswax wraps are hands down 🙌 the BEST:
Bee's Wraps are naturally antimicrobial and can be reused for up to an entire year! They're made from GOTS-certified organic cotton, sustainably sourced beeswax, organic jojoba oil, and tree resin. All of the ingredients combined create a malleable and easy-to-use food wrap that can be used over and over again!

Even mine with occasional use are still going strong almost two years later! 👏

They're truly remarkable when you compare them to less than desirable brands like Trader Joe's - making them worth every single penny!
Speaking of which...
It's worth mentioning I've actually tried a few different kinds of reusable wraps just to be sure my Bee's Wraps truly are the best of the best - including Trader Joe's.

Now, I'm a huge Trader Joe's lover, but their reusable wax bags have got to be the worst I've come across - proof that you get what you pay for sometimes. 👎 The Trader Joe's wraps are incredibly stiff, not very malleable, make your fingers and hands feel very waxy, and they smell absolutely horrible. My son didn't even eat any of his lunch the first day I tried using them and my other son's ripped on the first day! 😅
That said, the whole experience made me fall in love all over again with my beloved beeswax wraps!
I even convinced our very own recipe blogger, Lina, to give them a try! Here's what she had to say about her Bee's Wraps!
"These wraps are so high quality and work awesome! They are strong, sticky (but not on your hands), and really do replace plastic wrap for storing food. I love that they easily wash clean and can be used over and over. I also love the very minimal wax smell compared to other brands that can be overly intense. These wraps rock!"
We love that these beeswax wraps come in so many different sizes, fun colors & patterns, and some even come with a cute wood button and tie to keep your yummy sandwiches perfectly sealed. Plus, when you're not using them, they take up little to no room in your drawers!

Here are the other benefits to using Bee's Wraps:

A natural alternative to plastic

They're ethically sourced

Easy to clean

Made right in the USA

Fully biodegradable

Green America certified

Durable and keeps food fresh

They can also be used to cover bowls

You can use Bee's Wraps for so many things!

From wrapping half-eaten avocados, fresh fruit, blocks of cheese leftover from a charcuterie board, and even covering bowls that have no lid, these wraps are perfect for storing just about any food!

And once they're in the fridge, they harden just enough so you can ensure however you put them in is how they'll come back out. 👍
They also hold up extremely well.
Since owning ours, I've even cut some of my larger Bee's Wraps in half to suit our needs. I'm still in awe of their durability and how long they've lasted! Even with the ones I've cut, I've only experience minimal fraying and even then it's never affected the performance of these wraps or stuck to our food.

There are just 2 caveats worth considering for beeswax wraps:

My son lost his lunchbox at school the first day we used them (which never turned up) so I did have to replace them which was costly. That said, we had a really long talk about being more responsible with lunch boxes and it hasn't happened since that day! (Here's an affordable lunch box I love if you're in the market for one!)

Washing them isn't the most convenient thing in the world. They do have to be hand-washed, but I just make a habit of doing this every night before I repack my kiddos' lunches. To wash them, I use a cleaning brush, a little bit of mild dish soap, & rinse with cold water. If you pat them dry, they'll be ready to fold up and put back in your cabinet in a matter of minutes or you could consider using their wooden drying rack (here's a similar one on Amazon).

Here's what other reviewers are saying about their Bee's Wraps:

"I can't recommend these beeswax wraps enough. The antimicrobial aspect of the bee's wraps keeps fruits and vegetables super fresh for much longer than plastic bags. They also keep bread softer and fresher for much longer than Ziplocs, they're unquestionably better for the environment, and they can be reused for a long time!" - Stacy ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Wow, what a product! I'm very impressed - I wrapped a block of cheese in this and popped it in the fridge where I fully expected the cheese to dry out within a couple of days. I looked at it today (one week later) and the cheese is as fresh as when I purchased it. Well done Bee's Wraps, I'm totally sold on this reusable product as an alternative to cling film plastic!" - Sandra ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"These are amazing! I have never written a review before but this product is so fabulous I just had to! They are even better than I had hoped. They keep my half avocado as fresh as the moment I sliced it with NO brown discoloring - even after two days of sitting around! I used my beeswax wraps to cover a bowl of leftover fruit salad that I had made on Thursday and by Sunday it was as good as when I had first made it. A real joy to use and I will definitely be buying more for myself and to gift to friends!" - Olivia ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

How to make beeswax wrap easily with iron, & care tips on how to use & clean beeswax wraps! Tutorial & video with recipe, pros & cons, & no resin variations.

Reusable beeswax food wrap is a great alternative to single use plastic wrap. If you are inspired by zero waste green lifestyle, and want to reduce plastic waste, you will love these eco friendly reusable beeswax wraps with natural antibacterial properties. 🙂

You can buy beeswax wraps, but there are lots of good reasons to make them: they are easy and fun to DIY, you can choose pretty fabrics, cut them to sizes that fit your needs, make a lot more for the same price and share them as gifts! 🙂

In this tutorial, I will share how to make beeswax wrap that works well, how to use and clean beeswax wraps, compare pros and cons, and recipe variations without resin at the end. First, you can check out our DIY beeswax wrap in action in this video below!

* Some resources in article are affiliate links. Full disclosure here .

Materials to make beeswax wrap.

Some of the helpful resources are affiliate links. Full disclosure here. You can also buy these wraps on Amazon here if you decide not to make them. 🙂

100% thin cotton fabrics like muslin or these super cute quilting fabrics!

Beeswax: you can get pellets or blocks and shave them into smaller pieces for easier melting.

Jojoba oil or mineral oil: I used food safe mineral oil which we have from our DIY butcher block oil conditioner project. The oil makes the beeswax food wrap more pliable and lees prone to cracking.

Pine resin: powdered pine resin is easier to melt. You can also crush pine resin chunks into smaller pieces. Resin makes the beeswax wraps stick. If you don’t want to use tree resin, check out the alternative recipe at the end.

An iron, an inexpensive designated paint brush (no need to clean, just keep for future use), and parchment paper.

This recipe makes enough mixture to cover 12 square feet of fabrics. It is more accurate by weight so we are providing both options

4 oz or 113 grams (1 heaping cup) beeswax, 1 oz or 28 grams (1/4 cup) pine resin, 1/2 oz or 14 grams (1/8 cup) Jojoba oil or mineral oil.

I have tried homemade beeswax wrap recipes with 2:1 ratio of beeswax to tree resin, and the wraps feel too sticky on my hands even after they cooled off. The 4:1 ratio here still produces effective sticky reusable wraps that are not too tacky to the touch.

Important notes before you begin:

Wax and resins are flammable. Always follow safety practices for all materials and products used here. Never leave anything unattended when the double boiler is on the stove or the iron is plugged in.

Step 1: prepare materials for DIY beeswax wraps

The fabrics should be clean and dry. Use your most used dishes to determine the numbers and sizes of fabrics to cut. For us, we made a few each of 6″, 8″, 10″ and 12″ squares. You can also make a large sheet and cut as you need.

Step 2: melt wax and resin mixture

Place beeswax, pine resin, and Jojoba oil or mineral oil in a double boiler or metal container set in a pot. I used a can and a jar lid to prop the can up a little from the bottom of the pot. A deeper pot is safer in case the container tips.

Add water to the pot until it’s about halfway below the rim of the inside container or double boiler. Use medium heat to bring water to boil, then reduce to a simmer over low heat. The wax and resin will melt and blend together in about 10 to 20 minutes.

Step 3: brush and iron beeswax mixture

Cover a large cookie sheet or a wood board with a sheet of parchment paper. Spread a piece of cut fabric flat on the parchment paper. Brush mixture to fully saturate the fabric. It may solidify, which is fine, as we will be ironing next.

I learned a nice trick from Crafty Patty on YouTube. She would layer two or three pieces of fabrics together before ironing so the excess wax mixture on the one piece can be absorbed and you can make two or three pieces of beeswax wraps at once.

In other words, you would brush the beeswax mixture onto one piece of fabric, and you can add a piece of fabric above and / or below this waxed fabric  to soak up any excess coating mixture.

Next cover the fabrics with a piece of parchment paper on top. Set your iron to the cotton linen setting, and iron the fabrics. You will see the wax mixture melting and saturating the fabric layers.

If you missed a spot just lift the parchment paper and brush on more wax mixture.

Once the fabrics are evenly saturated, quickly lift the parchment and peel apart the fabrics before the wax mixture solidifies.

Hang your completed wraps to cool completely for 10 minutes. They will feel very stick when they are still warm, so don’t touch them too much while they dry.

My beeswax wrap doesn’t stick, why?

It likely you don’t have enough wax mixture incorporated into the fabric, especially when the fabric is a bit thicker. Just brush the wax mixture again on a different side of the fabric and repeat the ironing process above.

What to do with leftover beeswax mixture?

Pour the mixture into an ice tray or cute silicon candy mold. The yummy looking little wafers are great fro refreshing your beeswax wraps or make new ones. Just melt what you need.

I also saved the brush with solid wax mixture on it for future beeswax wrap projects. 🙂

How to use beeswax wraps?

You can use beeswax food wraps on almost anything except for raw meat, highly acidic foods and hot temperature foods before they cool off.

They can be used to cover bowls, wrap veggies and cheese, or folded as a bag for sandwiches and snacks. The antibacterial properties of beeswax can also help keep your produce fresh longer.

How to clean and store beeswax wraps?

Important: only use cold water when cleaning your beeswax food wraps!

If your wrap only touched non greasy or dry surfaces like bread, carrots, or edge of a bowl, you can just dust them off or wipe with a clean soft sponge and let dry.

If the wrap touched food that is more sticky or greasy, rinse with cold water and use a soft sponge with mild dish detergent to clean both sides. Rinse well with cold water, and hang them to dry thoroughly.

Store beeswax wraps in a cool, dry and breathable place clean from dust or food particles, such as a tray in the kitchen drawer.  I like rolling them up so they take up very little space and it’s easy to see which size I need.

How long do beeswax food wraps last?

Beeswax, mineral oil and pine resin has infinite shelf-life, however, with frequent use beeswax wraps can lose their coating and stickiness after one year. They are 100% biodegradable in the compost, it’s also very easy to refresh them.

Just take some leftover wax mixture that you saved (see step 3 above), shave some onto the wraps, and iron them to saturate the fabrics. They will come out like new again.

Pros and cons of beeswax wrap.

Pros: Effective replacement of sing-use plastic in a lot of ways, compostable, reusable and earth friendly. Long lasting and can be refreshed every year. Easy to make and share as unique and pretty gifts, some say the natural antibacterial properties can keep your produce like cut avocados and salad greens fresh longer.

Cons: Not suitable for wrapping certain foods like raw meat or highly acidic food. Not suitable for microwave or high heat environments like in a hot car. Should not be washed with hot water.

How to make beeswax wraps without pine resin

You can leave out the pine resin in this recipe, and use beeswax to mineral oil (or jojoba oil) at an 8:1 to 4:1 ratio. The wrap will not be sticky enough to hold its shape, but you can use it with a rubber band or string to help hold everything in place.

Other good alternatives to consider are reusable containers and silicon bags like these. The more conscious we are to reduce our trash, the better it is for our planet! 🙂

Plant catnip in a place where your cats can rub and roll in it without hurting adjacent plants. Some cats like catnip so much that they lie on it, roll on it, and chew it to the point of destruction.

If you find that to be the case, place some 1- to 2-foot-long bamboo sticks or thin dowels every 2 to 3 inches wherever you're growing catnip to make it impossible for a cat to lie on top of the plant. Catnip grows as a loosely branching, low perennial, which means it will die back in the winter in most areas and then come back in the spring. In a flowerbed, you can plant catnip in front of purple coneflower, which blooms about the same time. The plant bears tiny, white blooms that are not very showy. You can also grow it in containers. For indoor cats, grow several pots that you can rotate between outdoors and indoors. Growing catnip requires a lot of light, so you'll need to move indoor pots back out every couple of weeks and bring in new ones. Also consider growing catnip near the vegetable garden as a way to attract your cat and thereby keep down the rodent population.

Quick Guide to Growing Catnip

Plant catnip in spring, once all chances of frost have passed. You'll want to plant it in an area where your cats can roll in it without damaging neighboring plants.

Space catnip plants 18 to 24 inches apart in a very sunny area with fertile, well-drained soil.

Give your native soil some nutrient love by mixing in several inches of aged compost or other rich organic matter.

Check soil often and water when the top inch of soil becomes dry.

Encourage prolific leaf production with a water-soluble plant food.

Once catnip grows to 6 to 8 inches tall, harvest leaves at any time.

Soil, Planting, and Care

Set out plants in the spring after the last frost, spacing them 18 to 24 inches apart. For best results when planting in the ground, improve your native soil by mixing in several inches of Miracle-Gro® Garden Soil for Vegetables & Herbs before planting. When growing catnip in containers, fill pots with premium quality potting mix, such as Miracle-Gro® Potting Mix. Keep plants full by pinching the growing stems and flower buds when they appear. The small white flowers that appear in the summer will form seeds that sprout; the plant also spreads via underground runners. Some cats are very rough on plants. To keep plants from being loved to death, cover each with an arch of chicken wire. The stems can grow up through the holes, yet the plant's base and roots are protected. Or, try interspersing with bamboo stakes to prevent cats from rolling on top of the plant.

Troubleshooting

Harvest leaves by cutting the stems anytime during the growing season. The foliage keeps its scent best when air-dried.

Harvest and Storage

You can stuff sachets and cat pillows with dried leaves. Dried leaves are also popular for herbal tea.

Use smooth sticks or dowels placed 2 to 3 inches apart within the canopy of your catnip to keep your cats from flattening it.

Many cats can't resist the fragrance and flavor of catnip. You can move a pot inside for an indoor cat, but be sure to bring it back outside so that the plant will get enough sunlight.

FAQs

I bought catnip for my cat, but she doesn't seem to even notice it. What's wrong?

Not all cats respond to catnip. The ones that do can kill a plant-and anything planted around it-with their enthusiasm. If your cat enjoys catnip, tuck several plants into different areas of the garden, using care to leave a margin around each one. However, if your cat doesn't like it, you can enjoy its nice foliage and experiment with catnip in herbal teas.

Our one bite rice balls are the perfect item for kittens or cats who prefer something small to play with.

A mixture of edible high grade catnip and silvervine powder is provided in the toy.
Once catnip wears off, you can replace and refill it with your own catnip.

Maintenance and usage method:
1. After use, you can wipe the surface with a damp cloth, dry it naturally in the shade. To prolong the smell of the catnip, place it in a zipper bag.
2. After the catnip loses it's effect, remove the cat nip, wash and dry the toy, fill the toy with cat nip and place in an airtight bag for 2-3 days. This allowed the entire toy to absorb the fragrance of the catnip.
3. Handwash is recommended. Place in a laundry bag and hang to dry.

Warning: Do not iron, clean, dry in machine or dry clean.

Size: 8.5x8.5x3.5cm (note that this item is handmade and there maybe a slight size variation between each item).

Material: Cotton, polyester fibre edible, environmentally friendly PET sound paper, high grade cat nip, edible high grade silver vine fruit powder (aka. Matatabi).

Nibble Garden - a toy designed to look like a little pot plant, and has been created specifically for rabbits and guinea pigs.

Your pet can now have a gorgeous little garden of their very own! This sweet little toy is sure to fascinate your furry friend and keep their chompers busy 😊

Handcrafted with a corrugated raw cardboard outer tube and secured via a tab, the 'pot' is then tightly filled with a thick section of loofah and stuffed with timothy hay to form the 'plant'. To add that personal touch, a label card has been attached with paper raffia also, to personalise your pet's special little garden 😊

This is such a pretty but practical gift idea! Also, once the timothy hay has been consumed, it is easy add more - while the loofah and outer tube remain relatively intact.

Approximate dimensions:
6 - 7cm diameter of tube x 7.5cm H (not including timothy hay)

Please note: As the loofah is a natural and direct plant material, the size of each pod may vary and this can slightly affect the size of the tube 'pot'.

Thank you for stopping by my store - I really do appreciate your interest and support! Together, let's make sure our furry friends are able to live their best. Everyday 😊

How to make cut flowers last longer

Body

What is the best way to keep cut flowers fresh the longest? Here’s advice from flower farmers on how to keep your cut flowers fresh in a vase—and the best cut flowers to grow in your garden!

When to Cut Fresh Flowers

Cut garden flowers in early in the morning or early evening, when temperatures are cool and the stalks are filled with water. Midday heat is stressful to plants, causing them to wither more readily when cut.

For most flowers, avoid picking when in full bloom or they won’t last as long; pick when they are just starting to show color. (Note: This isn’t true of roses, which do not continue to develop.)

How to Cut Flowers Outside in the Garden

1. Always use a sharp knife. Avoid scissors, which can pinch the water channels of the stalks.

2. Place the stems straight into a bucket of clean, tepid water (not cold water) as soon as possible after cutting.

3. If possible, leave the flowers in their bucket of water in a cool, dark spot for a few hours to let them stabilize before arranging. Even better, leave them overnight.

4. Keep flowers as cool as possible, but avoid putting them in your fridge, if you can. Florists’ coolers range from 33° to 40°F, so your fridge likely won’t be cool enough and any fruit or vegetables could emit ethylene gas, which shortens the life of cut flowers.

Selecting a Vase

Use a vase that’s large enough to provide plenty of room for all the stems, with a mouth that’s wide enough to allow for good air circulation.

Always use a thoroughly clean vase as bacteria can survive in dirty vases and your flowers may not last as long.

10 Tips on How to Cut Flowers for a Vase

1. Strip all the leaves from the bottom half to two-thirds of each stem. Do not leave any leaves below the water line, as they could rot and ruin the quality of the water.

2. Re-cut the stems at an angle. A slanted cut helps if you are using floral foam; a stem with a point is easier to insert. Cut flower stems at an angle also prevents the stem resting on the bottom of the vase and sealing itself over. Angular cuts also great a larger surface area for water uptake.

3. Cut stems underwater if you wish to shorten the stems on cut flowers before arranging them; otherwise, the stem can take in too much air, causing a blockage that keeps water from the flower. (This is especially true of roses.) Floral supply companies sell underwater cutters; or you can cut a flower in the garden, immediately submerge the stem in warm water, and cut it again in the house while holding it below the water line.

4. Poppies, milkweed, and other flowers with milky stems should be held in a flame for about 15 seconds immediately after cutting. This seals the latex in the stem but keeps the water-conducting vessels open. Without searing, the latex substance can leak into the water and cause it to spoil quickly. It can also affect the life of other flowers in the vase.

5. Don’t crush the stems. If you have a woody stem—on lilacs, for example—just cut above the stem. For years, flowers use to use mallets to crush the stem; In fact, pounding the stems makes the stems rot faster in the water. If you can’t cut above the woody stem, submerge the entire stem in water for 20 minutes to an hour before cutting.

6. Don’t use cold water. Flowers like to be warm and prefer water that is 80° to 110°F. The water in the vase does not need to be maintained at that temperature, but always start cut flowers in warm, not cold, water. Cold water has a higher oxygen content, which can cause air bubbles to form in the stems of your flowers, blocking their water uptake. Spring bulbs such as tulips and daffodils are the exception to this rule as they prefer to be placed in cold water.

7. Add a tablespoon of sugar to nourish flowers. Some florists use a splash of bleach to inhibit bacterial growth (just ¼ teaspoon per litre of water). Both extend the life of the flowers.

8. Display the bouquet away from full sun, heat, or hot and cold drafts. Also, position vase away from fruit bowls.

9. Check the vase each day. Remove any dead or fading blooms to prevent bacteria damaging the healthy flowers.

10. Change the water every few days, refreshing any flower feed as well.

Which Flowers Are Best for Cutting

Dianthus (including Carnations, Pinks and Sweet Williams) are some of the best known of all cut flowers. They last 14 to 21 days!

True Lilies such as Oriental Lilies last 8 to 10 days and add dramatic flair. When cutting lilies in the garden, leave a third of the lower stem. Note: Daylilies (which not true lilies) are not cutting flowers; they don’t last more than one day.

Sunflowers and gladiolus both have a vase life of 7 to 10 days, and both make great cut flowers.

Chrysanthemums last for a week or more.

Tulips have a vase life up to one week; they continue to grow after you arrange them.  (Some flowers, such as daffodils, contain a type of sap that will shorten the vase life of other flowers. Tulips don’t mix with daffodils.)

Peonies last 5 to 7 days. (Note: Take no more than a few blooms from each peony plant and avoid cutting stems from plants that are less than three years old.)

Sweet peas last 3 to 7 days and add nice height to a flower arrangement. The more you cut your sweet peas in the garden, the more they will bloom!

Here are reader favorites from the flower cutting garden:

In May to July: Narcissus, Tulips, Peony, Snapdragon, Butterfly Ranunculus, Salvia.

July to September: Sunflowers, Zinnia, Cosmos, Rudbeckia, Dahlias, Stock, Asters, Statice, Amaranthus
