Unboxing my newest antique and a letter lock inspired by Mary Queen of Scots

What a treasure those seals are 🤩 and letter locking is so fun! A wonderful piece of history we can still use today ❤

What a beautiful grouping of seals!

Thanks for these easy instructions. Bookbinders use an "awl." Love this old tradition.

So fun! I imagine you need specialty paper for this? I’m assuming regular paper would be way too thin and the string would break

[@KathrynHastingsCo]

Actually any weight will do. I just wouldn’t do tissue paper. This is Amatruda’s fully cotton paper. ❤
