Vintage Alphabet Wax Seals Set

Add personality to projects and gifts with the Vintage Alphabet Wax Seal Set from Seattle-based Global Solutions. Each vintage seal measures a half-inch in diameter and features a sturdy metal scroll handle. The finished wax seal will be about 0.8 inches wide, allowing you to spell out words, make monograms, and get creative with even the tiniest projects. Seals are available in a whimsical curly capital font, great for wedding and party invitations, along with a rustic lowercase typewriter font, which creates a final impression reminiscent of a typewriter key. To help you get started, this set comes with three 4-inch wax sticks.

Before you make an impression, first trim the wick so it’s flush with your wax. Then, using a lighter, soften the wax for about 10 seconds. Gently push the wick onto the paper so a small amount of wax falls onto the wick, and relight the wax. Drip 10 to 15 drops into a pool, push the lit end of the wax stick directly into the pool, and swirl it around in a circle. Push the stamp into the wax and wait 5 seconds. Then, gently rock the stamp out of the wax to leave a clean impression. If you would like to use ink with your wax, push the stamp lightly into a pigment ink pad and then into the wax.
