Wax seals are an amazing way to add a stunning and unique touch to your wedding invitations – it’s all about the little things! And the best part? This trend is not only affordable, but also easy to do. Wax seals are not a new thing, but they’re currently a hot trend that you won’t want to miss out on. To get started, all you need are your invitations, envelopes, and a few key materials.

Materials

1. Wax seal glue gun or sealing wax spoon
2. Wax stamp
3. Sealing wax
   1. Wax for glue gun
   2. Wax for spoon

Now that you have all the materials you need, it’s time to get started! Just take a look at the instructions and the photos included below for some helpful examples.

Directions

1. To begin, insert a wax stick or bead into either your glue gun or spoon. If using a glue gun, ensure that it is plugged in, and if using a spoon, you can use the heat from a candle. You can use a hot glue gun, however, exercise caution when combining glue and wax.
   
2. Before using the wax, warm it up until it becomes more liquid in texture. To check if it’s ready, try squeezing the trigger of the heat gun or pouring the wax out of the spoon onto a piece of scrap paper. If the wax runs smoothly on the paper, then it’s ready to use.
   
3. Squeeze or pour the wax on the area you’d like sealed.
   
4. Press your stamp onto the wax quickly and gently, ensuring it is facing the correct direction.
   
5. Hold the stamp in place for a few seconds before removing it carefully.
