The "crayon slicing device" is actually a dog nail clipper. I'm a dog groomer and use them all the time.🐕👍

I’ve done this with crayons and a coordinating color of glitter glue stick. Glue gun sticks alone don’t have quite the right texture, but there are special sealing wax sticks that go in a glue gun and give the right texture.

Actually, a larger hot glue gun can work. Glue guns can take mini glue sticks or regular size glue sticks. The one you had takes a mini glue stick. As you figured out, temp matters. You can use colored glue sticks too. And yes, as others said, the cutting device is a nail trimmer for cats or dogs. You are so fun, I love your enthusiasm! What a great video!!🤗

@junehanabi1756 3 жыл бұрын

I write casual letters all the time to people (family, friends, etc...) and send them in the mail. I probably send a few letters a week. I lean very deeply towards 16th century technology so the wax seals I use are replicas of 16th century wax seals which were Shellac mixed with other ingredients to make them have an incredibly high melting point. When those wax seals harden they become like iron, not even an exacto blade can cut it. Envelopes weren't big then so I fold the letter in a special way they did back so it becomes it's own envelope then and address it on the front and place the shellac seal on the back. Since Shellac seals aren't good for mailing I have to place the letter in a proper envelope the post office expects. You should do a video on that!

@medeasoak9964 3 ай бұрын

Fascinating! Is that the Jacques Herbin brand that uses the Shellac in their traditional wax? Or do you use something else?

You can try mix the candle wax with a small piece of glue from a glue gun stick. That thickens the consistency of the wax a little bit and makes it less „runny“.

I have such a strong urge to wax seal a Closure Letter. What would be the appropriate stamp to use that isn't romantic or too dramatic. (It's a wax seal, it's dramatic enough _I know!)_ but I want it to feel more _eerie_ and _strong_ than a cartoony broken heart or skull. Maybe a phoenix or something from my celtic roots.
