How to Wax Seal Bottles with Crayons and Glue Sticks

[@mariavelthuiskroeze469]

Dog nail clippers work great for cutting up the glue sticks and crayons 🖍 👍

Can you tell me the size of the crayons, are they Jumbo? I guess you could use any size if you wiegh them right, 2to1? Thanks, enjoyed the video, I won't be using it for the same purpose but it should work for envelope sealing or making faux wax seals for crafts just as well, wouldn't you think? TIA.

The size of the crayons shouldn't matter, because you break them into smaller pieces either way. I don't remember what size I got for this project. Yes--would work great for envelope wax (faux wax) seals. Enjoy!

I'm curious would candle wax work for this project ? I have a large amount on hand and this would be more convenient and cost effective for me if I could substitute the candle wax for crayon wax.

It would certainly work, but probably just not as durable.

Looks great but what is the purpose of the glue sticks. Wouldn't just using wax work? I also love your other videos, I hope to have a display half as cool as yours one day.

Wax alone will not work well. It would be extremely brittle and break off. The glue sticks help stabilize the wax and make it flexible. I got the idea from how they dip Maker's Mark (what can I say, I'm a bourbon guy). The combination of the glue and wax will make a better seal and allow you to store these without the wax breaking off etc. Thank you for the comment and happy haunting!
