I love using wax seals. I bought these silicone molds. I use 4 beads with the larger design seal. Its plenty of wax. Also when I ran out of the tea lights that came with my kit, I bought large ones. They work so much better.
Thanks for sharing! I ended up buying larger ones too and so much better than the small one that same with the kit! I’ll try out 4 beads next time I seal with this mold 🤩
I found an electric furnace for wax seals on amazon. It is reasonably priced. It has an on and off switch. I love it. I also have the silicone mold. Love it too❤❤❤
I've been doing this for a long time, but stopped for awhile now I'm breaking them all back out again just beautiful. I bought the silicone mold great idea.
I have actually added wax seals to some journaling pages. It’s a fun effect. You do have to use a pencil board if you are writing on pages that are after that because it causes a hump.
You definitely don't have to fill the whole well - its just a nice guide. But I'm sure they sell other sizes too - this is just the size I found. I typically use 5 beads for my wax seals because that's how many I need to make a full seal with the size of the head. But definitely could make something smaller :)
I agree with you that you require 6 beads. It looks easier than it is to create the seals with uniform wax surrounding the seal rather than the seal image being off centre. There are mini spatulas available for scraping out the wax from the spoons from SHEIN. They are worth purchasing.
I have not done that. I'm not sure how well it would work but also I'm afraid I'd burn myself LOL. But I have poured a little dot of warm wax and placed the premade stamp on it which sort of melts the stamp a little so that it sticks.
It’s hard to say because shipping varies depending on where you are but also what you are ordering - because the size and the weight play a part. I didn’t find it much different than shipping from other shops but it’s been a bit since I ordered and I don’t know if prices have changed with the postal increases around the world. But I will say they actually sell a lot of their products thru amazon too which is awesome because you get it quicker that way too.
Should have thought to use a new tealight for the video but had that one out...definitely takes a long time when the candle gets low...and then goes out LOL
@@JustScribble I love watching these wax seal videos. I miss the good old days of writing letters. I used to seal the back of them with a wax seal. Nowadays sealing wax and the equipment you use is pretty hard to come by.
Why don't you melt them in a slow burner and just take a teaspoon out at a time, do one color then wipe out and do another color. If you're making several.
Not sure what you think is a disaster or why you’ve decided to make such a comment. But I hope you get yourself a cup of coffee and a sweet treat to brighten your day.

I'm doing these for my wedding invitations! Thank you so much for having a step by step with the amount of beads needed!
That sounds amazing! I’m sure your invitations will be beautiful!

Thanks for sharing! I’ll have to look for that!!
same here, it's so much easier and safer. I bought some metal molds too, in order to make other shapes
This is such an amazing idea! 🤍 Thank you for sharing 💕
Thanks so much for watching 😍

Wonderful! 👏🏻 thanks so much for watching!
I bought the silicone mould off Temu, and i use 6 beads. It gives me a perfect seal every time. X
Thanks for sharing!
you can use a round punch, lay the paper in the bottom and use crystal clear hotglue
That's a great idea!
Have you made your own wax yet? Super easy with beeswax and mica and a candle mold.
Not yet! But it's on my crafty to-do list one day! Thanks for sharing!
You could use the little one to make wax beads with leftovers from the sticks
Great idea! Thanks :)
This was really neat! Thank you for sharing. I’ve never used wax seals before. Have you ever used them with your journaling?
I have actually added wax seals to some journaling pages. It’s a fun effect. You do have to use a pencil board if you are writing on pages that are after that because it causes a hump.
I find these cavities a bit big and 6 beads is rather expensive for 1 seal. I was wondering how it would work in the deeper but smaller mould!

Have you ever reheated the bottom of the seal a little to adherent to like an envelope or a page? I've seen it but I've never tried it.
I have not done that. I'm not sure how well it would work but also I'm afraid I'd burn myself LOL. But I have poured a little dot of warm wax and placed the premade stamp on it which sort of melts the stamp a little so that it sticks.
@@JustScribble Good point! Do you ever use double stick dots to seal premade wax seals?
The molds “were” manufactured for the wax seals.
These particular molds aren’t made for wax sealing - they are baking molds for making chocolate and candies and such.
Hi I never purchased anything out of the United States before. Was it expensive to ship items from Craspire?

I was wondering why the second set of beads was taking so long to melt!

They are ideal because you use the bigger one to make coin chocolates.
Yes so many uses!

I’ve not tried this but I bet it would work nicely. Definitely something to think about. Thanks for sharing your idea 💡
