This Queen of Hearts wax stamp is perfect for game nights, themed parties, and even wedding invitations! In this tutorial, I'll show you how to enhance its intricate design with a touch of gold.
First, let's start with the materials you'll need:
- Wax stamp
- Wax seal stove
- Large wax seal spoon
- Sealing wax (in various colours)
- Gold paint pen
SKILL 1 | GETTING THE PERFECT TEMPERATURE
- Using our large wax seal spoon, add 3-4 wax beads per seal you plan to create.
- As soon as the wax fully melts, remove it from the heat.
HOT TIP: If your wax starts smoking, it’s overheated! Take it off the heat immediately to ensure that it doesn't burn.
SKILL 2 | POURING
- Pour the melted wax into the shape of your stamp—in this case, a rectangle.
- Press your stamp firmly into the wax, then lift carefully to reveal a clean, crisp impression.
SKILL 2 | ADDING GOLD
- Take your gold paint pen and gently colour over the raised areas of your design, avoiding the negative space.
TOP TIP: If you make a mistake, wipe off the paint while it’s still wet with a cotton swab or paper towel. If it’s dry, use a pen remover to clean up any excess, then apply a second layer for extra vibrancy.
And just like that—you’ve created a premium, gold-accented wax seal!
