How to Create Faux Wax Seals
by Laura Williams

Supplies needed:
Hot Glue Gun
glue sticks (colored or clear)
Versamark Stamp
Stamp of choice

NOTE: If you decide not to use colored glue sticks or you don't have any on hand, you can color the finished faux wax seal with markers, embossing powder, or rubon chalks.
Begin by heating your glue gun. Once it ready, squeeze out enough glue to accomodate the size of your stamp image.

NOTE: Be sure whatever you are putting the glue spot on will allow you to easily remove it. If you put it on paper, it will be difficult to remove the seal from the paper as it will stick to the paper. Only do this if you are going to leave the seal on that piece of paper and use it on your cretaion. I recommend using a piece of metal or something that you can coat with a light coating of olive oil so that you can remove the seal easily.
Once you have your glue spot the size you need it, set your glue gun aside and press your stamp into your Versamark pad. Coating it really good. By the time you do this you glue spot will have cooled enough for you to stamp your image into it.

Press your stamp into the glue and allow it cool completely. When cooled completely, peel off the glue from the stamp.

You now have your faux wax seal.

I used a clear glue stick and then colored the image with a yellow Luster Rubon Chalks by Craf-T.
