    Coins or carving your own is a great idea, and waayy cheaper than buying a bunch of commercial ones! Thanks for the inspiration 🙂

      If you add the glue stick piece and mostly melt before you add the crayon you should be able to melt the crayon with the residual heat and have it come together at the same time. Just a thought 🙂

    This is so cool! I've never used any wax seals before, not even the pre-made ones, but I'd love to try and make some out of lino in the hopes that could work.

    • @ElderberrySprout
      @ElderberrySprout  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The ones I made with lino in this video are still holding up! The heart one especially :) I'd say go with simpler patterns to prevent any loss of details over time. Hope you have fun!

    You can use a little glycerin on your stamp to work as a release. Or, get a clear stamp pad for embossing.

    • @ElderberrySprout
      @ElderberrySprout  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's about 3.5 Inches around. It used to be completely wrapped with wire and beads around the outside, but I disassembled it and now have a lot of pretty beads I can use too. The candle is about 3 inches wide if that helps.

    How do these attach to the letter you are sealing?

    • @ElderberrySprout
      @ElderberrySprout  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They seal pretty well! As long as you have the right ratio. But you can't put it through the usps because the mailsorting machines can't process them well, so make sure you put your pretty sealed envelope inside another normal envelope!

      To melt the wax I often use metal spoons, though they don't have a lot of capacity. A soup spoon would be a better choice than a normal spoon, perhaps. You could also use a measuring cup!

      The mail systems are not set up for any wax seals other than plastic ones. To my understanding wax seals made just of wax (een with a little plastic) could crumble apart in mechanical mail sorters, and then they would jam the machine.
