A Magic Wax Seal Stamp Charm Tutorial
Consider this part 2 of our magical gift wrapping series. In part 1 I showed you how I wrap up small items like jewellery and place a charm on them for safe delivery to their forever homes, read part 1 here
So today I’d like to share how I wrap bigger things like hoops and the magical wax seal I place on them so they reach their destination and bring joy to whomever breaks the seal.
Materials:

A hole punch
Method
Take your gift item and wrap it in the vellum. You don’t need to purchase mine but it does need to be a vellum paper as this has a waxy coating which will protect the item making sure the wax seal does not push through the paper. Use your string to secure the paper. Tie so that you end at the front (this side of the gift should have no edges of the paper overlapping it is the centre of the paper, edges meeting are where wax could get in so never place here) tie with a bow
Light your tea light and slip your dried flower behind the bow as you say “I seal in love, I seal in light, where this package goes, are smiles of delight”
Heat the wax beads in a wax spoon or an old tablespoon works too. I like to use an assortment of colours as these will mix and bland nicely, you’ll need about 5 beads in total
