(Candle) Wax Envelope Seals

For anyone who wanted to do the candle wax seals on their envelopes, but didn't want to risk burning their house down, or scorching the envelopes, I found an easier way. On eBay and probably in craft stores, they sell mini-hot glue gun wax sticks. You just put a glob on the outside of the envelope and press with your stamp. It's not as messy as using a candle and actually cheaper than buying some of the envelope seals. And of course, it's less dangerous. I bought 30 sticks for $3.25 plus shipping, handling and insurance. It came to $7.40. Now I just need to find a stamp...

Michaels has a nice selection of stamps to go with the hot glue. I just did mine & I love them!

Thanks! I will have to try there. I went to AC Moore and got the idea. Can you post a pick if you have any left?

alias~For the last half an hour I have been trying to get my digital camera to work so I can post a pic for you, but it won't work! As soon as I can figure out what the problem is(sometimes I really hate my computer, I'll post)!
