You're welcome! :)

Well, they are supposed to stay without sealing wax-- that's just something you can do in addition. And all candle wax is different, I'm sure. Glue DOES take a long time to dry!

Actually, the first time I tried, I folded both sides of the letter all the way and ended up with an envelope that doesn't need sealing wax. ;) But then I did it the right way. I tried using glue for wax, and it STILL hasn't dried, so that's a no-go. ;) But my dad made one and tried candle wax, and that actually did work for us. We put it on construction paper; maybe that did the trick? Anyways, it worked and we were even able to put a seal in it with a button. Thanks for the tutorial! I'm going to quite enjoy sending some Regency letters. =) Miss Jane Bennethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990860661370730793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-7169639848258585592014-01-07T08:35:40.439-07:002014-01-07T08:35:40.439-07:00SO.

(for the most part) At least, that's the closest I've come to actual sealing wax. :D<br /><br />Thanks for taking the time to take these pictures and write this tutorial!Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11130656303566915681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-37281860291511242812014-01-06T09:28:53.469-07:002014-01-06T09:28:53.469-07:00Thank you for this tutorial!

I had been trying to figure out how you did it when you sent me that one with the wax seal and all... I mean, I know you told me but it's much easier for my poor head to comprehend when I see all the handy-dandy pictures. :DMiss Dashwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15821653607968651548noreply@blogger.com
