Steps to Personalise Wax Seals
Below, we walk you through every step to achieve personalised wax seals that will add the perfect touch to your wedding invitations:
1. To start making wax seals, the first thing to do is plug in the sealing wax gun and wait 3-5 minutes for it to heat up and melt the wax.
2. Next, we'll keep the seal stamp cooling on ice with the design we've chosen.
3. Once cooled, we dry it with a cloth.
4. Next, we place the gun over the surface to be sealed, gently squeezing the trigger all the way. We'll move the gun in small circles to avoid trailing wax outside the surface.
5. To finish making your personalised wax seals, we press the stamp onto the wax for 5-10 seconds. Gently lift the stamp away and it's ready, with the design you chose.
