METHOD

  1. Place your Card / contents in the envelope
  2. Fold the envelope
  3. Measure the envelope and mark a mid point
  4. Place the seal on the mid point of the envelope and mark four points around the seal with a pencil. This makes the rough area you want to fill with wax
  5. Light the wax candle and drip the melted wax carefully inside to fill the marked area.
  6. Make sure the letter/design of the seal is the correct side up. 
  7. Press the seal into the wax for 5-10 seconds and remove
  8. Ta Dah!

It is as simple as that! See below for step by step photos..
