How do you make a wax seal with crayons?

You can create a wax seal using crayons by melting the crayon wax and then using it to make the seal. Here's how:

Melting the Crayon Wax

There are two primary methods you can use to melt crayon wax for creating a seal:

Hold the crayon over a flame: Carefully hold a crayon directly over your envelope, positioned where you wish to apply the seal.
Let the wax drip: Allow the melting crayon wax to drip onto the envelope.
Work slowly: Keep the crayon moving slightly to control the wax drips and prevent large globs from forming.

Melt the crayon in a spoon: Break off small pieces of crayon and place them inside a metal spoon.
Heat the spoon: Hold the spoon over a flame until the crayon wax melts. Be cautious as the spoon will become hot.
Let the wax cool slightly: Once melted, let the wax cool for a moment. This prevents it from being too thin when you pour.
Pour onto the envelope: Slowly pour the melted wax onto your envelope.
Stir and Shape: Use the handle of the spoon to gently stir the wax. This allows you to adjust its size, shape, and thickness before it cools completely.

Prepare: Have your envelope ready and the wax melted.
Apply the wax: Either drip the wax directly or pour it from the spoon onto the envelope in your desired shape and size.
Press the seal: Immediately press your seal onto the wax while it's still molten.
Remove the seal: Let the wax cool and harden completely, then gently lift the seal. You should have a clearly defined wax seal.

Use small pieces: If melting the crayon in a spoon, break it into smaller pieces so that it melts easier and more evenly.
Safety first: Be very careful when working with a flame and hot materials.
Practice: It might take a few tries to get the hang of melting the wax and creating a clean seal.
Choose the right crayon: Some crayons may melt better than others. Experiment with different brands to see what works best.
