Project Instructions:
1. Light the wick and hold the wax stick at a slight angle (lit end down).

2. Holding the stick over the area where you wish to make your seal, let the wax flow onto your project until you have enough wax to press your seal into - 10-15 seconds of melting the wax should produce enough for an average 1/4" diameter seal. Be careful not to get soot into the wax.

3. Emboss with your seal and lift straight up. If you find the wax won't let go of the seal, simply let your seal rest on the wax until the wax is completely cool, then lift your seal off.

4. You can also use highlighting ink (a metallic stamp pad) on your seal prior to embossing to help the wax release the seal, as well as creating a dimensional look on your seal.

NOTE: You should be able to make 10-14 seals from one stick of our sealing wax candles.
