I Want to Try Sealing Wax♡
If you're going to DIY paper items, you definitely want to try sealing wax!♡
Dropping wax on letters for sealing is a method that has been used in Europe for a long time.
While it serves as proof that the item hasn't been opened, it is also stylish and exudes a sense of luxury, making it increasingly popular as decoration for paper items today♡
Sealing stamps and sealing wax can even be found at 100 yen shops, making it easy to try your hand at DIY.
Just using the stamp as is can make your paper items look significantly more stylish, but…
What I’ll be introducing this time are ideas for creating even cuter and more elaborate designs for sealing stamps.♡
I recommend this to brides who want to try something unique with sealing stamps!
Let’s take a look right away!♩
Sealing Stamp Arrangement Idea ① Mix Two Colors of Wax♡
Sealing stamps typically use a single wax stick (glue stick), but…
This bride mixed pink and white glue sticks to create a soft color.
The resulting sealing stamp looks adorable, resembling a gradient or marble effect!♡
Mixing wax colors can be tricky, so if you want to create a marble sealing stamp, wax beads are recommended.
Since the wax comes in beads, you can easily combine colors to create a marbled pattern!♡

Sealing Stamp Arrangement Idea ② Stamp Flowers♡
Next, here’s an idea for sealing wax with flowers included. It looks very stylish, like a torched flower!
Since flowers may get crushed during mailing, it’s best to try this idea for invitations you’ll hand deliver to guests!♡

The rolled seating chart is a classic paper item, but many may be seeing such a stylish design for the first time.
You can see the method of stamping a sealing stamp over dried flowers or greenery in this video.
Sealing Stamp Arrangement Idea ③ Stamp on Ribbon♡
Next is the idea of stamping a sealing stamp on a ribbon. How about on a trendy satin ribbon?♡
You can also attach the ribbon part of a thank-you tag with a sealing stamp.
It’s also convenient because you don’t need to create holes in the paper or use eyelets for threading ribbons.
With a three-dimensional sealing stamp and a ribbon, the thank-you tag looks so much more elegant.
In this way, a sealing stamp looks lovely on a paper item with a loosely tied ribbon. ♡ The paper and wax are coordinated in white, giving a clean and elegant atmosphere.
Sealing Stamp Arrangement Idea ④ Color with a Pen♡
Here’s an arrangement idea where you color the raised parts of the sealing stamp with a pen. Two-tone sealing stamps are quite rare, aren’t they?
This makes the design of the stamp stand out even more, making it grab more attention!♡
Sealing Stamp Arrangement Idea ⑤ Shapes Other Than Circles♡
Sealing stamps are typically round, but having them in shapes other than circles can be unique and stylish!
Dropping wax in random shapes and pressing a larger stamp creates a laid-back vibe.
Look at this rare horizontal sealing stamp, which resembles a label. It has an upscale feel, and you might feel a thrill when opening it!♡
Sealing Stamp Arrangement Idea ⑥ With Flowers
Sealing stamps with flowers included are also adorable!♡
You can create this by scattering small dried flowers before the wax solidifies.*
