Sealing an Envelope with Wax
Last but not least, we are going to do a wax seal. I am just using simple wax. You can get it at any paper or art supply store. I have a little seal with my initial and a simple matchbook. You heat the wax so it can drip. It usually takes a few seconds for the wax to heat up and start dripping. Make sure you watch your fingers and be extra careful. Sometimes it can get a little hot and flame. That's good. Right on the edge. Now I'm going to seal it. That looks pretty good. Now we have our letter addressed correctly. Got the seal, return address. Not quite sure how much this postage will cost. It is kind of a bigger envelope, so I'm going to take it up and weigh it. Should be a couple of stamps. That is a customized letter.
