How to Make Wax Seals with Pressed Flowers DIY!

How to Make Wax Seals with Pressed Flowers DIY! Transform a boring envelope, a wedding invitation or a deckle edge handmade envelope into a message adorned for a king by adding a wax seal with pressed flowers. Wax seals are elegant and so much fun to use...melting the wax, pressing the stamp...it's incredibly cool. Add a pressed flower or four leaf clover from your yard for even more snail-mail-letter specialness! Pressed flowers are beautiful and fun to work with. Press a bunch of flowers and then craft with them in a variety of ways.

Hogwarts Sealed Letter with Cream City Ribbon!

I received ribbon from Cream City Ribbon for this post. No other compensation, no affiliate links.  Create a stunning letter using cotton ribbon from Cream City Ribbon! The ribbon is amazing. It is stiff almost like paper, but cloth too.  Such a fun texture!  I used this birch ribbon to make a cool seal for a Harry Potter Hogwarts letter. This ribbon is perfection for using with wax seals.  Here's a quick video on doing the wax seal.  I get wax sticks and put them in a mini glue gun. Easy peasy.

Edible Hogwarts Crest Chocolate Wax Seal Cookies--Harry Potter Week!

 Edible Hogwarts Chocolate Seal Cookies--Harry Potter Week! I love doing Harry Potter Week close to Halloween! These cookies are perfection.  A shimmery, gold Hogwarts wax seal on top of a chocolate drizzled cookie! And, it's all edible! Here is the full tutorial on how to make a chocolate wax seal.  You will need chocolate. You can use candy melts, chocolate chips, or this salted caramel melts.

Start by dabbing your clean finger in a little soft butter and rubbing it on this stamper. You don't want to fill the grooves, but this will make it come off easily. (it took us about 10 tries to get a good system down...) Then stick the stamper in the freezer for 5 minutes. Melt the choco...
