How Do You Make Waxed Paper?

There is a messy but simple way that I thought of. Take a piece of printer paper and add vinegar oil all over it, thus making it translucent. Take two pieces of paper towel, fold it so that it looks like one, then put the oily waxed paper on it. Then you take another two pieces of paper towel and fold it, and then you put it over. Let it sit out overnight or just for an hour or so, then vuala! You have wax paper.

This is the easiest way I've come up with. I hope this is helpful to you!

Thanks,

My own idea :)

This is a cheap and cheerful way of doing it, and could very well ruin your laundry iron (I used a cheap one I had lying around and it's steam nozzles were thoroughly blocked afterwards), but if you find yourself in the same position I did when I developed this technique, (college deadline looming, no wax paper ANYWHERE in shops, no time for internet delivery) you might just be willing to risk it.
You use wax crayons (I used white ones-I'm guessing coloured ones might cause colour transfer???) and any ordinary paper (I used tissue paper as I wanted it to remain flexible). Remove the crayon's wrapper, then carefully rub the crayon against the hot iron whilst holding the iron over the paper (you might want to protect whatever surface you work on) let the wax drip onto the paper, then press the iron onto the paper, rubbing the iron in circles on the paper. Repeat this process until the paper is covered with wax- it probably won't look pretty, but it will work. The basic principle is using heat to melt the wax into the paper. And no... Rubbing the crayon onto the paper and then ironing it doesn't work- I tried that ;).

Wet paper for 5 seconds and put it in front of a fan and it will feel like wax paper
