Introduction to Wax Sealing

From there we will have fun experimenting with multiple colors of wax and different embellishments. Plus, we will practice different melting methods, such as using wax stickers, wax beads over a flame, melting pots, and glue guns. You will leave with some materials needed to make your own additional wax seals at home.
