A nice way to close invitation envelopes is to use wax seals. A simple way is to use hot silicone, which gives a wide range of options to decorate the stamp.
Do you want to see the options that we propose to seal with hot silicone?
Materials that we will need for our hot silicone seals
- Hot silicone gun with transparent silicone bars and any color you can find
- dried flowers
- Purpurin
- Metallic foil confetti
- Eyes for crafts
- Strings
Hands on craft
- First of all, when using hot silicone as sealing wax, we must wait a little time for the silicone to set and so it doesn't stick to the seal. If you want to see how to make stamps, we suggest you see this craft: Two homemade ways to make wax stamps
- And now we are going to see different options to seal. The first one is to use dried or artificial flowers, on top we put the hot silicone making a circle and we wait a little before pressing with the seal.
- In a second option, we are going to use some cords, ribbons or ropes and in the crossing we will put silicone heat in the same way as in the previous case.
- Another option that is very original for example for a children's birthday invitation, Halloween parties, etc. .. is pober hot silicone, sprinkle glitter on top and we put two eyes. In this case we will not use a seal to close the envelope, we will simply squeeze the silicone with our own eyes. You can also use hot silicone stick with integrated glitter or a particular color.
- We put confetti of metallic tones and on top we put hot silicone. Under the silicone we can put anything that does not have a lot of volume or can be flattened.
And ready! We already have different options to give our envelopes a personal touch.
I hope you cheer up and do this craft.
