- 1). Lay the envelope on a flat surface. Hold the wax stick a few inches above where you would like the wax seal.
- 2). Light the end of the wax stick, and allow the wax to drip onto the envelope. There should be about 1 inch in diameter of built-up wax.
- 3). Stir the melted wax gently with the end of the wax stick. This will release any bubbles and help you to feel when the wax begins to thicken. Create the shape that you would like with the stick, such as a circle or square. This can be done by gently pushing the melted wax with the wax stick.
- 4). Breathe on the end of the seal right before you stamp the melted wax. The wax is ready when the surface is matte, and no longer shiny. Press firmly and directly with the seal into the wax. Hold the seal in the wax for about five seconds, and peel back slowly.
