Thanks so much for this! I originally was going to make them on the invitation but duh it makes sense to make them in bulk then adhere it afterwards as to not mess up the whole invitation. Thanks so much for a great and thorough video!
Thank YOU so much for watching! I'm so happy this video helped you, wax seals in bulk are going to save you so much time in the end and your invitations are going to look beautiful!! So excited for you to try it out
@Rachel Rhodes oh wow this was so long ago I honestly don’t remember how I attached them but I want to say a little either hot glue or 3000…I’m willing to bet it was the 3000 glue
Two things: turn a saucer upside down ontop of ice to place your stamper on after each stamp, no water worries. And second, instead of sticking glue rounds on seal, just put a small amount of hot mellted wax on envelope and then press your ready made seal ontop.
@@Ronin_Noir the worry is not tge wax. Tge worry is doing a bad seal on the envelope (finished product). By making tge seals seperate you guarantee a perfect seal on each envelope. Once youve done sealing for a while, you pretty much get it right, so only do 1 step process. I like 1 step as it ads character and individuality to the envelopes.
Yes, out of all the videos on wax seals that I have watched, no one has ever added an extra dot of wax to attach the pre made seals to the envelope. I feel like it would be a lot easier than using the double side tape or glue rounds. Plus it costs extra for the glue rounds
I think I’m a little bit late to the video but how much wax did you bought and how many wax seals did it make? I’m getting married and need to make 100, I hope you can answer my question❤️
Great video! Where can I purchase the sticky rounds that you used to attach the seals to the envelopes? The ones you used looked much stronger than most double sided tape or rounds. Thank you
I don't know if you're still wondering, but she listed all the supplies in the description and I saw the adhesive stickers on there too! Hope this helps :)
Is this your own wax stamp design? I want to have my own designs to sell but struggling to find a place who custom makes these for shops. The only ones I have found do custom jobs for over £50 and many shops sell their own to customers for around £10-30. Not sure where to look!
Hi Amanda, Your video & subject line were stunningly beautiful. However, I’m most interested in the surface you’re using. It looks to be marble tile. Would you please give further information on that subject. I’m wondering how that would work as a desktop in a craft room studio. Thanks!
Hi Jan, thank you for the kind comment! Yes, this is just marble tile purchased from Home Depot. I use it as a temporary background surface for videos, just set the tiles over a table top. But I’m sure you could make it more permanent and it would make a beautiful craft room table top!
I saw in another video a person used normal gluesticks to push out the remaining wax before switching to their new color. (The first few of the new color may have some glue in it but after that theyre good to go)
and now you can open that envelope since glue doesn't stick to wax nearly as good as it does to paper so someone will be stuck with that tape on paper and will have to cut it or rip the envelope
I like to put the wax directly to seal the envelope. I like to know that the seal has to be broken to open the letter. Does this method do that? or is it just for decor and it peels off when you open the letter?
The post office will accept wax sealed letters, however, the sorting machines can remove/damage the seals. To get around this, you can pay a little extra per letter to have them hand stamped instead of going through any machines. Hope this helps!!
Not sure if you still want information on this. Like Amanda said, you can mail wax seals but they have the chance of getting damaged. BUT you can only mail modern wax which dries flexible. The traditional wax was used for tamper proofing and is too brittle and not allowed to be mailed. If you want to use traditional wax or have extra protection for your wax seals you can place the envelope with the wax seal inside of a clear envelope and put the postage on the outside envelope.
I really enjoyed this video! But how do I train the Owls to send my invites??
I'm happy you enjoyed! Sorry, snail mail only :)
🤣😅😂 LOL!!!
Love the profile pic lol
hahaha same vibe
I realize Im kind of randomly asking but does anybody know a good website to watch newly released series online?

Amanda Molinari thank you! My maid of honor and I made them over the weekend and they turned out really good. Thanks again so much!!

I was wondering the same thing. Seems like twice the work. Unless she was worried about ruining the envelopes with the hot wax

exactly my thoughts...then she wouldn't have to spend money on double sided tape.
I use one of those hard plastic frozen inserts that keep food cool in lunch boxes, rather than the ice. It doesn’t get wet or melt.
This is a great idea!
Love the Umber color wax. Another tip; use a pat of alcohol rather than ice works as well. Saw this tip in another post.
So helpful and exactly what I needed, thank you so much!
Now all i want is a girl to marry, other preparations are completed 😂
lol
lol
Lol
What an awesome video! I would never have thought to use a glue gun to make these... great tips.
Thank you so much for watching! The glue gun makes it so much easier
Am I getting married? No
Am I still going to make these? Absolutely
Maybe buying a small chunk of dry ice to cool down the stamp faster, and colder, and keep it dry. Could work nicely. Just a thought.
Relaxing DIY...LOVE IT!!!! More videos please
Thanks for watching!! I will be uploading every week! I would love to have you follow along :)
Did these take a long time to make? I really like the color you chose, it looks vintage but a little different
Thanks for watching! It took me abut about 90 minutes to make 70 seals. It is a bit time consuming but the process is so satisfying and relaxing!!
exactly what I was looking for, thanks!!!
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching!!
Love your video, but it seems so sad to attach a wax seal with glue. Would adding a dab of wax to the back instead of glue work?
I needed this!!!! Thank you so much!!!
I think I’m a little bit late to the video but how much wax did you bought and how many wax seals did it make? I’m getting married and need to make 100, I hope you can answer my question❤️

Love this video. But im about to flip. How do I get the wax off of my stamp. It’s sticking
Any idea what I can use for a stamp? I don't have anything in my household.
Beautiful video 😊 where did you get the towels?
Is this your own wax stamp design? I want to have my own designs to sell but struggling to find a place who custom makes these for shops. The only ones I have found do custom jobs for over £50 and many shops sell their own to customers for around £10-30. Not sure where to look!

Did this cause you any problems when you went to mail them? I have heard a lot of people having to buy additional postage
This Is Soooo Awesome
Can you use a bit of the hot glue of the same color to stick them to the envelope or is that too bulky?
How can I remove the wax from gun? I want to make another colours stamps and I can do it because the first colour is not disapear.
I saw in another video a person used normal gluesticks to push out the remaining wax before switching to their new color. (The first few of the new color may have some glue in it but after that theyre good to go)
What a great idea :)
Do you need wax seals
Thank u for this!!!!❤❤❤🥰

I'm gonna use the wax of a babybell
Your seals may come out a little cheesy 😳
Annnnnd this is perfect for my wedding lol
How to customise the design in wax stamp
Just wondering where you got the stamp form?
Hey gonna borrow that idea for my invitations.
Can I get this at Michael's ?
I'm sure you invitations will turn out beautifully! Michael's will have the glue gun but all other supplies I found online. Hope that helps!
can wax paper be used instead of parchment paper
how many stamps can you get out of one stick?
Post office will not take wax sealed letters right?

How do i finish the wax fully to be able to put another wax color into the glue gun without having mixed color seal?
Put normal glue in the gun and let that run out untill you can get a normal color
How do you clean the gun in between changing wax colors
They say using normal glue stick would help push that colour off but your next wax colour would have a little bit of glue
Whats the size of your seal?
