Thank you!! I wish I had more time to film and upload more consistently like before 😭

Oooooo!! That sounds awesome!! 😍😍

Thanks!! They are!!! I sometimes prefer using my markers too for these fine lines 🤣

Hahahaha thank you!! You and me both!!

@themellieway I shared this video with the waxsealers subreddit and people love your stuff. Excited to sse more from this channel 🥰

Thank you for your support!! 🥰🥰 I’m currently on vacation, hope to be able to create more consistently once I’m back!!

You’re very welcome! 😁 thank you for your support!!

You’re very welcome! 😁

It is! 😁 I made a stamp positioner using a CD case, the link to that tutorial is in the description!

You’re very welcome! :)

Thank you!

Thank you! I’ve personally never used a ceremonial coaster for wax stamping before so I can’t say for sure whether it’ll be a bad choice. If it has a glossy surface (it’s been covered with varnish or glaze), then it’s likely that the wax will cling to the coaster. I would also imagine that wax would cling to a ceramic coaster that hasn’t been glazed 🤔 You could do a drip test, just put a small drip of wax onto the coaster and see if it’s easy/difficult to peel off. Hotter wax tends to cling even more so do take note of the temperature as well when you do it :)

@@themellieway thanks so much for the advice

@joleecathcart7861 You’re very welcome! 💕

🥰🥰🥰🥰

Thank you!! Aren’t the red packets just adorable? 😍😍 I took them out because they were too cute to just hoard away and put them right back into the drawer after the video! 😂😂

Thank you!! 💕

Yeah :) If you don’t want it to drip, you gotta get to know your glue gun so you can time when to turn it off before it starts dripping. But it will still more or less happen 😝

I heard rubbing alcohol works! Hadn’t tried it out yet but I plan to do it in a later chapter 😁

Thank you!! It’s a little difficult to pinpoint exactly what’s the issue without seeing the wax and process, but I can share with you some things to look out for :) I do have a stamp school series that you may find helpful, the videos are a bit long so you might want to watch the chapters at 1.25 or even 1.5 speed 😂 I go very in-depth about different things to look out for while wax stamping and in your case, I think the main reason for why your wax hardened might be the surface you pour you wax onto and the way the wax is melted. It’s important to know your environment and wax when it comes to wax stamping and there are many things you can do to work around them :) do take a look at the coaster chapter, different coasters have different cooling speeds. And chapter 3, the one on how to use wax beads. I will also be doing a chapter to explain the technique I showed in this video in detail, but that’s still some way down the road 😁 Hope this helps!

Thank you! 😁

I’d like to know that too, and does it need to be sealed somehow? TIA

It’s a highlighting cream :) I used a cheaper version from China but the best kind I’ve used so far is the Bortoletti gold highlighting cream 😁 they also have it in silver Alternatively, I also use metallic markers to colour in my wax seals. I’ll be doing a chapter on the different ways to highlight wax seals for my Wax Stamp School series 😁 do stay tuned! I’ll be able to explain better in the video than in text

It’s a cream 😊 It doesn’t need to be sealed, it just needs to be set aside to dry, and once dried, it doesn’t come off easily :) Or you can also choose to use paint markers/metallic markers to highlight your wax seals! I’ll be filming a chapter all about the different ways to highlight wax seals somewhere down the road, once I get my laptop fixed 🤣

Thanks so much! 😊

@linmurdock3258 you’re welcome! 🫶🏻

Thank you! 🥰

That’s a great question! Unfortunately no, candle wax is much too soft and greasy for wax seals to form properly :) the candle wax will cling to the stamp and it’s a nightmare to clean off!

@@themellieway thank you kindly for your reply

@@themellieway I saw where TEMU sells mini Silicone Spoon covers, would those really work

@siggiFunCrafter you are very welcome!

Are you referring to spoons made of silicone? I wouldn’t recommend using any material other than metal spoons because of the heat involved in melting the wax :) Other materials may release toxic fumes or melt away and we don’t want that! 😱😭

Thank you for your support! And I’m glad you enjoyed my video!! 😁 I got them from a local store but they only ship locally at the moment! They’re still figuring out how to expand globally because shipping is expensive! 😱

Thank you! There’s a full video on my channel with more butterfly seals! 🥰

Hi! I used regular water based markers in this video :) The ink bead up on the seals too if I’m not careful, just like when I use paint markers. I find it useful to wipe off any excess ink on the marker tip before colouring the wax seals to prevent the ink from seeping onto the background

@@themellieway Thank you! They are beautiful!!

You’re very welcome! Thank you!! 😁

Oo, I see! How long do you apply it for?

Ooo really? I thought that’s a myth! 😲

It's Mellie

Thank you! 😄

Merry Christmas! 🥰

I enjoyed making this so much!! The full tutorial is on my channel but it’s pretty long video 😂 I plan to make another one that is How to Train Your Dragon themed!

@@themellieway awesome!

Thank you! Merry Christmas!! 🎄

@@themellieway Merry Christmas

I love it too!! I couldn’t resisting making a few more seals after this video because the stamp is so cute! 🤭

Thank you!! 🥰

Thank you! Merry Christmas!!

@@themellieway Thank you! I wish you a lovely holiday season too! ❤

They are! I love watching them melt 😍

@@mjmelanie don’t own any yet but a friend of mine is buying two jars of them for Christmas

@jennaevangelista9709 will you get to play with them too? 🤭

@@themellieway oh 100% she’s getting me one jar full of blue stars and another of bronze stars to mix to represent my house of Ravenclaw. She said the star wax beeds were fitting and I can mix one for looks and use the others.

@jennaevangelista9709 oooo exciting!! I just happened to be filming a Harry Potter themed video the other day, but I’m only uploading it on HP day next year 😂

Isn’t it? 😁😁 Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year .. I so enjoy watching your channel .I'm a newbie at this snd I love it.❤

Thank you for your support! I’m glad you like them 😁 I do have a stamp school series available on my channel, sharing in detail how to use wax stamps and what to look out for if you’re new to this craft!

Thank you! I'm glad you like it 😁

Very pretty ❤

Thank you!

Thank you! This is a repurposed old video from 3 years ago 😂 Merry Christmas!! 🎄🎅
