In this video, I’ll show you my favorite way to make wax seals for your cards. You won’t have to deal with all the messiness that comes with the traditional way to melt the wax beads by using a tea light or a standard candle.
I have always loved the art of wax sealing envelopes. In my younger days, I used to do calligraphy and create wax seals for envelopes using wax sticks that had the wick in the center. They still make those, by the way, but wax seals have come a long way, and I’m having so much fun creating these fun card embellishments and wanted them to take center stage on the front of a card.
When I bought a kit about 6 or 7 months ago, I played around with the kit and made a few wax seals. But the soot that is left on the back of the spoon drives me batty and I ruined a couple of card panels because I wasn’t careful and got soot on them, too. So I put away my new craft goodies and saved it for another rainy day when I built up more patience. Fast forward to today…I found such a neat way to melt the wax that doesn’t get messy from soot!win-win! Yes, melting the wax itself is messy at times, but this method minimizes the frustration because you don’t have to deal with soot from a burning candle!
