Three tips for making mini wax seals
Making mini wax seals is going to be very similar to making a regular wax seals, but I have a few tips to help you with the process.
Supplies needed:
| Sealing Wax | Mini Wax Seal Stamp | Low-temperature Glue Gun |
Tip 1: Make sure to use the correct amount of wax. For a regular wax seal, I use about one squeeze of sealing wax. But for a mini, the diameter of your pour should be pretty close to the diameter of the stamp. So like 1/4 of a squeeze.
Tip 2: Don’t use a lot of pressure when pressing the seal. For a regular seal, you want to use some pressure to get the wax to fully go into the impression. But a mini seal is quite heavy and made of solid brass. So just setting it into the wax is enough pressure. You’ll still want to hold onto the stamp after you press for a few seconds to make sure the stamp doesn’t move around.
Tip 3: I like to let my mini’s cool a little longer than normal. There’s nothing worse than getting a good pour and press and then ruining by trying to remove the seal before it’s cooled. That’s it! Once you’ve made a couple of them, you’ll feel like a pro! Let me know if you have any questions in the comments!
Ombre wax seals are super pretty and fun to make! Simply start with your lightest pink and slowly add a little bit more of the darker pink with each pour!
