I used a small pot to melt the glue sticks. After many mixes and messes, trying everything from colored beeswax candles, cheese wax, and paraffin wax, I remembered trying to clean up the large round balls of melted glue stick that dripped on Mr. Beeswax didn’t work quite how I wanted it to. I had a few different colours of beeswax candles that I melted and this worked pretty good with my sealing stamp that I had found among Nanny MacDougall’s crafty possessions.Įventually I had an idea to seal my jars of homemade vinegars, condiments, and bottles of wine by dipping them in the wax. I wasn’t giving up on my idea and since Michaels stores weren’t prevalent in Canada yet, I went to the library and found a book that said that letter wax was originally made with beeswax, and then eventually mineral pigments were added for colour.
This was well before online shopping was widely available for purchasing anything you could think of. I went to every store available to find this product.
I wanted to seal the envelopes with wax and a stamp for that unique effect to go along with the theme of the event. Many years ago I wanted to find sealing wax for invitations for a murder mystery party I was planning. Small jars of my hot sauce recipe sealed and stamped with bottling wax with a sisal rope to aid in removing the wax when opening. Depending on your melter or candle size, the wax can be hot. Never leave melts sitting with candle going with out intended immediate use. *Always use caution when using candles or heating.
