Etsy is a great place to get supplies. They even have signed rings! Thanks for the tips and tricks. Just starting to look into this medium and learning all I can before I get my first set.
It is! Sad thing is, when buying on Aliexpress, you can always find the things Etsy suppliers re-sell :p But yes, there are some great sellers too. And I'm glad it helped!
I use a shimmery gold eyeshadow that is hideous on my eyes but looks great on the stamp image. Keep it dedicated just for your wax though. I mean you know that. I’ve even used one palate as watercolor. Food dye is fun too. Oh, and strong tea makes a great watercolor. Use what you have is what I’m trying to say.
That's lovely! I tried that too, but I sadly threw out all my "old" shimmery eyeshadows so I have to use the good ones and be careful with those. Ohhhh what good ideas you have! I used coffee to stain papers the other week, they smell lovely :D
To clean off wax of the spoons I boil water and put it in a jar or boil it in a pot I dont care about and stick the spoon in it the wax melts away perfectly
Thanks for sharing the great tips! To clean my spoons I’ll pour the wax onto the paper, push in the stamp and then quickly wipe out the spoon with paper towels while the wax is still melted.
I loved this video!! Thank you so much for the tips and tricks! This is a really great video for someone who wants to start out with wax seals. Like me lol😂
I do the same thing with my extra wax from the spoon. Keep it in a tiny plastic condiment cup. Comes in handy! Especially when you start to run out of wax. Lol.
Thank you for sharing all this information. I am living in Australia and still trying to source a supplier of these products. Also thank you for always replying to comments
Haha, you thanked me for always replying and then I'm a week late... I went to my parents, and this week I've been helping with painting the cat cafe! I really hope you found some good suppliers, and you're totally welcome!
Instead of spending so much money on the wax beads, I bought wine bottle sealing wax. It works MUCH better and I melt it in my wax warmer, use a measuring teaspoon, and I can get over 500 seals per one one pound bag of wine bottle sealing wax/pellets. I bought mine off eBay. Just type wine bottle sealing wax in. There are several out there and they are all supple wax too.
When using the wax warmer- I see that it smokes is that normal?! If so how long does it do it for? And how do you keep the smaller ones balanced? Thanks for the video
Sometimes it smokes because there's wax on the bottom of the spoon! But it doesn't happen if I use the bigger spoon. The smaller ones can only be balanced with a lot of patience, hahaha
Love this video found it so interesting. I love candles you asked about getting wax of the spoon’s you could try putting them in a bowl of boiling hot water and keep them in the bowl for about half an hour or more and the excess wax should come of. I do this with candle’s in a jar as sometimes the candle jars are so nice and I don’t want to through them away. Hope this helps 😀👍xx
No problem! Not everyone likes them (whyyyy) but if you find any for a good deal, you should give it a go! It's fun to see all different ideas you can try 😄
I just got mine. But before I had it, I used a long red candle we had and just dripped some onto dried flowers and then a couple of drops here and there. If you have an interesting old coin or something metal with an imprint and you don’t care if you ruin it (just in case) it may be worth a try. I looked for deals and bought one piece one place, and so on. It took awhile to get everything together and it’s not all fancy by any means but should work just fine for what I do.
It depends! When you make them seperately on wax paper and then glue them on the envelope, they're more likely to come off. But most of the time when I make them directly on the envelope they survive, although sometimes small pieces are sliced off for example ;P
I´ve been wanting to see this video for a really long time (last time watching your video I was going to ask for this kind of tutorial! ) This was super helpful to me not knowing almost anything about wax sealing but maybe little too long video for me. I´d have cut the clips shorter but on the other hand I understand you maybe wanted to do everything on real time :)
Hello hello, to be honest I don't use one supplier, I just type in the search part what I'm looking for and then order from the cheapest or the one with most supplies!
Wat zijn die wax seals leuk - heb ze wel al eens op Ali E. zijn langkomen maar nooit echt bekeken. Ga dat toch eens doen :) - leuke tutorial en heel goede tips. Groetjes patrizia
Sorry voor de late reactie, was er eventjes tussenuit. Maar ben blij dat je 'm leuk vond Patrizia! Ik heb inmiddels alweer een paar nieuwe wax stempels, komt snel een filmpje van online :D
I just heat up the spoon once I've gotten as much as I can out and melt the remaining wax and use a papertowel to wipe it out, if you scrunch it up a little and double it up its honestly not that hot
Verry nice video. Ik heb de wax van de hema en ook de zegel. Hier staat een cadeautje op, maar ik wil er nog meer. Ik heb een vraag; heb jij al eens gestempeld met een ijzeren knoop, bv van een spijkerbroek. Ik heb dit ergens gezien. Leuke video.👍💋
I dont have spoon, because i think is not so practical. I have this qax what you make only fire and thats it. I like your Stuff, i have some my Stuff and i love them. 😍
I am fully aware, but as a hobby TH-camr uploading videos for free it's not possible to have a professional filming setup. Try some of my newer videos, I have a different tripod now 👍

@@ThePaperLetterBlog I agree, my ABH pallet will not be used in that way!
I wipe the spoon clean with a wet wipe while the left over wax is still a bit warm.
That sounds like a great tip!
To clean off wax of the spoons I boil water and put it in a jar or boil it in a pot I dont care about and stick the spoon in it the wax melts away perfectly
Absolutely love all your videos! You are my biggest inspiration!!!
That's so sweet Anne, thank you!!
Resourcefulness is a good trait to have.

I'm glad to hear that Kyra! And oh no, I'm an enabler now too!!

Exactly! Or when you want to add some extra colours to a seal 😁
Yeah! Very true!

Check out Wow embossing powder. It will level up your seals!!
I never have problems with my spoon it never drips so I plop it back on my electric furnace and drop in more wax.
Ik heb net mn wax seal spullen gekocht bij ome alli. I'm so excited to try them😄
Which would you say is better value for money the wax sticks or the wax beads?
Ooofff I honestly can't say. There's a lot of price and quality difference between beads and sticks. I prefer beads, as they're easier to use.

Yayyy I'm super glad to hear that!! And that's actually a great tip, I've done the same with those little jars as well Thanks for watching!
Great tips ! Thank you so much! I have never ordered from Ally express do you have a particular vendor you could suggest?
Thank you! 😁🙏 I don't actually, usually I just search for good ratings and colours I like.
Thank you for sharing your tips! I don't have any wax seal :( but it something that I would like to have so this is very useful for when I do.

Do you know of the cheap wax from chine survives the postal system process?

Thanks for the feedback Emily! The talking and filming was in one video, so I couldn't have cut the video without losing some of the speech :)
What is materials to make wax seals
it's all explained in the video ;)
Hello would you mind telling me what supplier you use at Ali Express for your wax seal supplies? Thank You
Hello hello, to be honest I don't use one supplier, I just type in the search part what I'm looking for and then order from the cheapest or the one with most supplies!
Thank you
I wipe the spoon with a paper towel while the wax is hot.
I just heat the spoon over the candle and wait until the wax melts then I take a paper towel and wipe it off.
I do that too when I don’t like the colour, but usually I just add new colours for the next stamp 😁

Leuke video.👍💋
Thank you Wendy! Nog nooit gedaan nee! Laat me weten hoe het ging 😘
Hi I’m a newbie here and to the wax stamping could you use crayons for this or not
I don’t know, actually!
I dont have spoon, because i think is not so practical. I have this qax what you make only fire and thats it. I like your Stuff, i have some my Stuff and i love them. 😍
Ahh I now also have wax sticks! But I love using the spoon as well :P
I’m too scared my nosey kiddos will get there hands into. But this was fun to watch nonetheless 😊💕 - Faith
Hahahaha, that's the pro of not having kids I guess! ;) Although Noes sometimes comes very close with her little whiskers. Thanks for watching Faith!

너무 이뻐요~^^
Can you translate that to English? 😁
The upside down camera angle was very bothersome.
