I've found that pressed flowers and leaves work better. They're already pretty flat from being pressed, and they dont discolor like fresh leaves and flowers tend to when they're not pressed.
Loved the clear and informative presentation style of this video. You have a good presenter's voice, and your choice of illustration elements in the video (like the colors of wax in the marbling) made it easy to follow along. Keep making more videos like this; I hope your channel continues to grow.
Parchment paper works really well! You don't even need to peel it off it just slips right off the paper so it has a beautiful flat surface, you just need to pop on a slab of tape on the back, slap it on an envelope and you're done! ♥️
@@JoliNoelleDavid oh it wasn't really a suggestion to you (not in an offensive way) since you've already mentioned parchment paper in the video so I know you know! ;) 🤣 But I commented for other people like me who's starting out and wants to make pre made seals and so far has only watched videos who has these fancy marbled stones or specifically made mats that costs a hecc ton, I wanted them to know that it doesn't have to be expensive! And there's this cheaper alternative so we can all enjoy wax sealing together 🫂♥️ Sorry if the first lines rubs you in the wrong way! I just don't know how else to word it 😅 But this video really was helpful and I'm looking forward to more videos from you! 💗💗💗 -the end of this whole ass novel- 🤣
this is amazing and very informative! I have been doing wax seals for about 5 1/5 years and I just have 1 tiny tip, you don't have to heat up your wax to much, other than that everything else was AMAZING!
Thank you for showing a mess-up! I usually never get anything right on the first try (and the flollowing ones as well) and never know what to do. Your tutorial was great!
@@micaelajaneponce5335 Well, that’s the point of sealing wax. You’re supposed to rip it open so someone knows you have opened a letter which was “sealed” in old days. It won’t make sense that envelop stays just like it was unopened. It’s meant to be ripped.
your enthusiasm is admirable!!! i picked up a wax stamp impulsively at my craft store today and was thinking what i could do with it and now i'm inspired :) many thanks
1:17 scared me so bad I thought you where gonna burn your finger I'm so glad you didn't haha! I dont even have wax stamping stuff but I loved the video!😂
BrAvO!! Ohhh! Thank you for a short-to the point video! (I watched a vid before yours & couldn’t make it past the first 5 min!) You, my dear, said 5 times as much in half the time! You answered ALL my questions AND gave me ideas I hadn’t even thought of!! Not to mention the tip on not overheating. I never thought to make my seal on parchment or foil ahead of time! I wonder if you could use something circular... or any shape to contain the wax as it hardens ...if you have shape OCD. 😂 Anyway, Thank you again!
What I've been wondering: how do you open a letter with a seal? Does it tear or damage the paper much? Perhaps you have to slice the seal with a knife?
A year late but I've noticed others have commented- my friend and I keep our letters in the envelopes WITH the seal on- so we use either careful cutting the top of the envelope with scissors- or using an envelope knife to slice the top of the envelope, which also keeps the seal and the flap part of the envelope in tact :)
Thank you for your informative video. I was looking at both methods of seals and couldn’t decide what one. I like the spoon best. I never thought of adding anything under them!
Thanks for this! :) I just got into this hobby myself and it's QUITE addictive! I was in Dollar Tree and found LAVENDER tealights and I think I may try those so I can enjoy the atmosphere even more! ;)
I’d suggest the foil method if you”re making lots of seals for things like party invites purely because seals don’t always turn out perfect which means you have to re write the whole thing and you can position then more easily
To add to this, I saw another video where they took the premade seal, added a dot of wax to the envelope/package then stuck the seal to the warm wax on the pkg
@@MarioQuezada I'm in the process of making wedding invites and with so many of then to do, this will save me so much time with the tin foil method and using a dot of wax to seal it to the envelope. Thank you !!
I have a melter that works kind of like a tart warmer - candle below a little bowl where you place the wax to melt and a spoon to dip in the melted wax and pour over the paper.
I had that melting spoon, it was terrible to clean and was very easy to bend. I got more durable spoons just a few days ago and they were so easy to clean and much deeper
I really loved your video! You were very detailed, and gave clear instructions. You showed what can happen if we mess up, and spoke slow enough to catch things and fast enough not to bore me 😂. I was looking for the list of items I needed to create wax seals and left with a super clear vision for how my Grand Opening invitations are going to turn out. I appreciate you 🤗💓.
Greetings. I love things like calligraphy, and stamps of ink and wax, so I will make sure to like this video, and your calligraphy one! Wonderful videos.
This was so help full! With how long to do it for and how to clean it, I'm getting a kit and I'm excited but I didn't know how to go about untill I whatched this video, thank you
You can press a stamp for 10-15 sec or until your can tell it’s completely hardened/cooled. You can clean your spoon by wiping it with a paper towel while the wax is still hot! :)

I noticed you cut the video a lot while stamping… Could you please explain how you know the right time for putting the stamp in and taking it out? Thanks!
I actually got the wrong wax for these. I accidentally bought wax paint and wanted to compare how mine pours compared to yours as I can’t quite get it how I want. Sure enough it hardly works so thank you for the video even if it wasn’t what you intended. Also try playing a couple different songs behind your videos instead of just one looping one. At points i noticed it and it distracted me 😂 thanks again 🙏🏻
First, thanks! Next, I think if you use contrasting colors, the POP factor would be greater. You used silver metallic paint on a gray wax: too similar. You pressed a red flower into a pink wax background: too similar. A red or pink flower pressed into pearl or white colored wax: better visual result. Just a suggestion. ;-)
Custom Wedding Garter I used a mix of 3 beads - light pink, shimmery pink, and white! I don’t know the exact names of the colors since they came in a multi color pack, but the link for it is in the description! I hope this helped!!

Hello there! You can do wax seals directly on the paper you will seal, such as envelope paper. To peel off the wax seal and save for later, you can use parchment or wax paper!
Thank you!! Usually the wax is set after a couple of seconds, but if your wax is hotter you can leave it on for a little longer than that! A good way to test if the stamp is ready to come off is to feel the the wax surrounding it and it is completely hardened.
im a real 1300's man, i melt the sticks straight onto the paper
I've found that pressed flowers and leaves work better. They're already pretty flat from being pressed, and they dont discolor like fresh leaves and flowers tend to when they're not pressed.

Hi there thanks. Love the ons with the flowers.
What I've been wondering: how do you open a letter with a seal? Does it tear or damage the paper much? Perhaps you have to slice the seal with a knife?
S Husanovic if you open the envelope gently and slowly by starting at the edge of the seal, you shouldn’t damage the paper too much!
just break the seal

You’d need heavy duty cutters, something to file sharp edges and if you don’t have these things it would probably cost the same to buy one on Amazon or Ali Express.
Love this idea!
Would it help the stamp come off of wax easier if you would tap your stamp on a moist sponge before touching and pressing wax?
I put the stamp in the freezer before I use it.
👏🏼👏🏽👏🏼
How long do you hold the seal on the wax?
