I always seem to want to make a wax seal, but can't because my parents aren't home to help. So I found a safer way and an anti fire way to make a wax seal.
I'm so proud of myself for coming up with this!
Sorry about the poor photo

You Will Need (4 things)

  • Hot Glue Gun And Glue Sticks
  • Wax Seal Just the stamp
  • Mod Podge Just so the color will stay
  • A paper towl and Water I've recently found out that dipping your stamp in water prevents the seal from sticking to the hot glue

Steps (5 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    Gather supplies.

    And while the glue gun is heating up, quickly set up your station, or
    Lay the paper down.

    Edit: get a cup of water while your at it, and a paper towel.
    Dampen the paper towel and wipe the stamp with it this will prevent the seal from sticking to your stamp. If you just stick the stamp in water your seal will be too wet ruin your paper.

  2. 2

    When the glue gun heats up, squeeze and make a dime or quarter sized glue dot on the paper. Shortly after that press your dampened wax seal stamp down in it.
    Count to 8 then remove.

  3. 3

    Next turn of your glue gun, because if the glue gets to hot, it will get runny and it won't work as well if you are doing more then one wax seal

  4. 4

    Next we color!
    As soon as the hot glue is dry, paint or color your wax seal,
    I'd put mod poge on mine just I case the color chips or rubs off.

  5. 5

    Finally cut your seal out, and enjoy!
