Good day everyone. Today we will learn how to make wax “impressions”.
They can be used as a worthy decoration for your works. They don't crumble or break. Pleasant to the touch and create the effect of a natural wax seal.
They can be tinted and decorated. This one is hastily tinted with pastels, glitter and dots are added. When the wax is still warm, you can insert sequins, beads, beads, rhinestones... I am beginning to discover the secret of creating these delights)).
Due to my job, I have various devices, but this is not necessary. I will tell you so that you can use it at home. Well, we got to the discovery of the secret)). This is wax, it is available in different forms, in various containers, packaging and packages. The main condition is that you NEED WARM WAX. Just ask the seller. Such things are sold in stores for hairdressers, cosmetologists, etc., although recently I have seen them in ordinary hardware stores, in women's small items. It is much better to work with than candle wax. It holds its shape perfectly, does not break, does not crumble. This is the same wax that is used for wax depilation (if necessary, I can tell you how this procedure is done). The expense is not high. In terms of cost, it turns out to be very cheap. There are several different colors, but this is not particularly important, because... can be tinted in any color.
Pour the wax into a metal jar and set it to heat on low gas. I have such a wonderful device for these purposes. But until he was away, I used a gas stove.
That's how handsome he is. It doesn't take long to melt. Melting point from 50 degrees.
While my kids weren’t looking, I made an excellent spoon from them)).
Using this spoon, I poured the wax. Oh, I almost forgot, I put baking parchment underneath, the wax comes off perfectly.
I use the most ordinary acrylic stamps. The girls ask where to get them. I tell you: the stamps are sold in stores like “Everything for needlework”, “Art”, “Everything for scrapbooking”, “everything for handmade cards”. Well, the meaning is clear)). Or in online stores. They are not expensive, the choice is huge. There are various drawings and inscriptions. If you want a personalized stamp, you can order it in salons that produce seals and stamps. It will be several times more expensive. Or you can do it yourself. I'll tell you below. And one more main point: open the stamp with oil.
I have this, but it doesn’t matter, you can even use regular refined oil.
When the wax has cooled a little (about 10 seconds), apply the stamp and press.
That's how well everything lags behind if you pre-lubricated it with oil. My paper is also oiled.
And this is what I did on the reverse side. It turned out double-sided. You can do it on a ribbon or on a string. Or you can just do it, then stick it wherever you need it. Glues well with silicone thermostat.
The wax seal was first used in the 15th century by Ivan III. During his reign it was very common, so it needed to be decorated in some way. For decoration, rings with seals were ordered from Serbia. This ring featured a drawing of a double-headed eagle, borrowed from the symbols of Byzantium.
On the front side of the ring was depicted St. George the Victorious killing a serpent. Now such symbols are used on ruble coins of the Russian Federation.
The seal of Ivan III is considered the very first drawing made on wax. The wax was red with distinct graphics. Under the picture was the inscription “John, by the grace of God, sovereign of all Rus'.”

In order to make a money envelope for any holiday, we will need:
- lace ribbons for scrapbooking, ribbons;
- watercolor paper;
- rhinestones;
- beads and buttons of different colors and sizes;
- heat gun;

Operating instructions
- If you already have a purchased envelope for money somewhere at home, you can simply outline it. If not, then you can find templates on the Internet and choose the one you like best from a variety of options (or use the one we offer below).
- After the contours are outlined, you need to use a ruler to mark the fold lines and bend the paper along the contours. Make all notes with a simple pencil so that they can be easily erased with an eraser.
- Now the envelope can be decorated. Glue the selected scrap paper onto its outer part, you can go around the edges with a hole punch or make tiny holes with a sewing needle - here just do what your imagination tells you.
- Now, from all the details for decoration, you can put together an original composition: again, everything is arbitrary, to your taste. Place a congratulations inscription, determine where you want to see stickers and beads; lace and buttons around the edges will look very impressive. The most beautiful element will be one or more decorative flowers, which can be tied with a ribbon or ribbon made of satin fabric. Or you can tie the entire envelope with a ribbon - this way it will be packed more tightly.
- Glue all the parts with glue, not forgetting to put the money in the envelope after that.

How to make an envelope out of paper?
The most economical way to create an envelope. Suitable when you need to pack a written message written on A4 paper:
- fold the paper in half in the crossbar;
- smooth the sheet and bend its upper right corner until the side line coincides with the central fold line;
- fold the lower left corner in the same way;
- the right and left sides of the sheet are folded into strips so that their lines coincide with the edges of the bent corners - you get a rhombus with truncated sharp vertices;
- rotate the workpiece into a horizontal position counterclockwise to form a parallelogram with truncated sharp vertices;
- the upper right corner of the figure must be bent down so that the line of its “truncated” top is equal to the bottom edge;
- the top of the bent corner is tucked behind the fold line of the side to which it is directed;
- The lower left corner is folded in the same way, tucking into the resulting pocket between the bent right corner and the fold of the upper side of the figure.
The envelope is ready and sealed. For greater strength, you can use tape along the edges.
Thus, regardless of the available accessories, you can create your own paper envelope. The choice of manufacturing method remains a matter of taste.

So, Word tab “Mailouts” - “Create” - “Envelopes”.
Button “Add a postage stamp” - check this box only if we have access to an electronic stamp (if we bought it on the Internet). I don't have access to the stamp, so I'm skipping this point.

Wax seals in decoration: options for use
With the help of wax impressions you can design a wide variety of objects. Textured prints give them a vintage look, making them elegant and impressive.
- Applying sealing wax to paper and cardboard.
- Applying sealing wax to fabric.
- Applying sealing wax to wood.
- Applying a wax impression on glass.
Classics of the genre are scrolls and envelopes with wax seals. There are no difficulties with applying stamps to envelopes. As for the scrolls, there is one trick here. To make a scroll, take a round stick and wrap paper on it. You need to pour sealing wax into the right place - it should not be too liquid, otherwise the clot will spread. The sealing wax needs to be pressed firmly onto the cliche, and the scroll is ready.
This way, for example, you can decorate gift bags beautifully. Feature: when applied, sealing wax flows through the fibers of the fabric. Therefore, you need to place something metal under the canvas - a thin ruler or a trowel.
Rope sealed with a wax seal looks very impressive on gifts and scrolls. To get such a print, take a metal sheet or a construction trowel and grease it. Place ropes on the metal, fill them with sealing wax and place the cliche. After complete hardening, the wax seal will easily come off the metal surface.
We often use this technique to decorate wooden boxes with corporate gifts. By the way, a wax seal can be combined with a label. Applying sealing wax to wood, as a rule, does not cause any problems.
This method can be used when decorating bottles. To apply to glass, thick sealing wax with the consistency of “sour cream” is required. To get it, it is enough to lower the heating temperature of the stove. You can also add a few solid pieces to a cup of melted sealing wax and stir the mass vigorously.

How can you replace a gift envelope at a wedding?
If someone takes the position that a wedding gift envelope cannot be replaced with anything, then such people are very mistaken, because gift wrapping can be replaced with boxes, bags and other interesting details.
For example, instead of an envelope, bills can be folded into a small box, wrapping the bills in a tube or folding them neatly and not tightly.
If you pack banknotes in a small gift bag, then the most practical option would be to attach such a bag to a bouquet or other gift. Thus, the banknotes in the gift bag will complement the main gift. Accordingly, if money is not planned to be given as the main gift, then it should not be packaged in this way.
Gifts for any holiday and celebration, including a wedding, are always interesting and beautiful. Exquisitely designed and correctly selected gifts are pleasant not only to receive, but also to give, and money placed in a pleasant and suitable package, in this case in a gift envelope, will not be an exception.
Despite the fact that the package will contain banknotes, the design of the gift will be done with your own hands, which means that sincerity and a real relationship with the couple to whom this gift will be presented will be invested.
Test Drive
Now you can try the finished print in action. Take wax, sealing wax or other material suitable for printing (we will talk about alternative materials for printing below), spread it with a candle or lighter, and drip it in the place where you want to place the seal. Give the material a couple of seconds to set. Dip the stamp in regular oil, blot off the excess with a napkin. Press it evenly and firmly onto the material and leave until completely hardened.
When it hardens, carefully remove the seal. If you are afraid of damaging it, then swing the signet a little so that it lags behind a little inside. Once lifted, you will receive a neat, beautiful handmade print. The wax seal, made at home, is ready.
Beautiful envelopes for unusual gifts
A simple sheet of colored paper makes very beautiful pieces. There are many manufacturing options, here are a few of them.
Envelope with an animal face
The sheet is folded in half, cut out in the shape of a heart, and the top and bottom parts are folded to the center. Receive a fancy little envelope. Ears, arms, legs are cut out from the remaining paper and glued to the mold. They finish drawing the face and sign it. The packaging is ready.
Another option for a simple envelope:
From circles
It can be a large or small envelope with a gift and congratulations.
They do it like this:
- Cut out 4 circles from colored thick paper. They must be the same size.
- Each circle is folded in half. Lay out the circles so that their edges overlap each other.

They get very beautiful packaging for money, postcards or thin brochures, diaries.
Closed origami envelope
The blank is also made from a square sheet of paper. Assemble the form as follows:
- Divide the sheet into 3 parts, iron the folds. Unfold the square and fold it again, getting 9 squares.

Knowing how to make a letter envelope out of paper, it is not difficult to build various forms for gifts, cards, and money. The more beautiful the source material, the more impressive the workpiece will be. The basic rule is that if the paper is embossed, patterned, or patterned, it should not be overloaded with additional decor.
Wedding envelope with money
Almost all guests at a wedding consider it necessary to give the newlyweds at least some amount of money - this has already become a tradition. In order for a cash gift to correspond to the festive occasion, it is necessary to arrange it accordingly. To make such an exclusive craft, we will need:
- watercolor paper;
- wedding-themed scrap paper;
- stamps with congratulations;
- details for decoration - half beads, buttons, ribbons, stickers.
Manufacturing process
Cut out a blank for the envelope from cardboard, mark the fold lines with a ruler, taking into account the correct dimensions. It is necessary to draw 3 lines at distances of 8, 17 and 24 cm. Bend the first two lines inward, and the last one outward.
- If you have a hole punch, use it to process the edges for decoration, make a corner on the edge of the envelope so that the openwork edge is inside.
- Now you need to form an envelope. Use double-sided tape to seal the edges. You can use colored pencils to go over the areas you like for shading.
- Make a template from scrap paper and glue it to the back, coloring the edges with a dark marker. Inside, go through stamps with wishes everywhere, but try not to put too many of them so that the product does not look cheap.
- Decorate the sides of your money envelope with satin ribbons or tie it in an original manner in the center so that the contents do not fall out.
- Now you need to decorate the front side. Decorate the edges with lace ribbons, various artificial flowers, and wooden templates in the shape of hearts or angels. Add all sorts of half beads and rhinestones. If you have glitter, run it around the edges or surfaces of the hearts and flowers.
Experiment with ideas, compare several options for compositions for the envelope, try several types of scrap paper and see what looks more luxurious and expensive. When you have assembled the most successful composition, glue the parts, tie the ribbons - your envelope is ready. You can invest your money and run to congratulate your newly-made husband and wife.
Scrapbooking has no rules and boundaries; it encourages flights of imagination and this distinguishes it from other types of needlework. After all, there is nothing better than a gift into which you have invested your soul, imagination and all your creative ideas.
To learn how to make an envelope for money with your own hands, see the following video.
What kind of letter is certified by a seal?
- on documents certifying the rights of the bearer;
- on those that record facts related to cash flows;
- in other cases requiring certification of the authenticity of the signature.
The law does not establish a clear list of documents on which this or that seal is affixed. But, if you follow the recommendations of the above-mentioned GOST, a stamp is placed on the letter if it:
- is guaranteed;
- confirms the fulfillment of previously assumed or the assumption of new payment obligations;
- establishes a delivery schedule or, for example, a phased payment schedule.
Is a stamp required on an official letter?
Previously, when the forms of organizations and enterprises were produced exclusively by printing and each of them had its own registration number, there was a rule according to which a seal was not placed on a letter printed on the form. With the exception of letters with financial content, of course. But nowadays, in almost all enterprises, in order to save time and money, forms are created in ordinary text editors installed on any computer and printed immediately on a printer. There is no particular difficulty in forging any form.
Note:
If the letter is unstamped and printed on a form, but there are doubts about its authenticity, you must contact the sending organization at the contact numbers indicated in the header of the form and clarify whether they sent such a document.
It makes sense to draw up a local regulatory act that will regulate the procedure for using seals at the enterprise and will clearly state which letters need to be certified with a seal. This document will define a list of business papers that must necessarily require certification, and will also establish rules in which cases and on which documents a stamp or equivalent stamp will be affixed, and on which - a simple one.
Should I put a stamp on a cover letter?
The cover letter itself does not have any information load. This type of business correspondence is drawn up in the form of an introductory part, usually consisting of a standard stamp phrase: “At the same time, we are sending you;. "and a numbered list describing each document included in the shipping package.
There is no direct need to put a stamp on the cover letter, even if the package of documents includes some business papers that have the nature of financial and guarantee obligations, the same contracts, for example.
Note:
It is strictly forbidden to put a stamp on blank letterheads or blank sheets of paper - this is a direct path to abuse and fraud.
Printing Thank You Letters
As a rule, to prepare letters of gratitude, especially if they are intended for a ceremonial presentation to one of the employees, ready-made printed color postcards are used, rather than standard enterprise letterheads. In this case, it makes direct sense to put a stamp on the manager’s signature under the letter of gratitude.
If such a letter is sent to a customer, client or business partners, the organization’s standard form is usually used to complete it. If this is so, there is no need to put a stamp or an equivalent seal on such a letter of gratitude.
Requirements at the state level are established only for those seals that bear the image of the coat of arms of the Russian Federation and, in particular, the coats of arms of the constituent entities of the Federation, municipal and rural entities. There are no such general regulations regarding the seals of commercial structures.
Therefore, if an enterprise actively uses printing on outgoing letters and other business documents to certify signatures, it is advisable to develop a local regulatory act that will regulate such issues as:
- what types of seals are used in the organization;
- the procedure and rules for using impressions of various types of seals;
- how they are stored and who is responsible for their safety;
- procedure for updating seals and their disposal, etc.
Gift Envelope Decoration Ideas
Even the most ordinary envelope made of A4 paper can be beautifully decorated with scrap materials. Today we will tell you what is best suited for this, and show examples of how to make exquisite packaging.
Drawings with paints, pencils and felt-tip pens

Delicate decorations with beads, ribbons and buttons
Envelopes decorated with beads and rhinestones look very gentle. Such crafts are suitable for wedding invitations, lovely ladies can put money in them, and also for birthday cards. As an addition, they use satin ribbons, lace, colored tape and even buttons that can be glued to the front side. For inspiration, we suggest looking at some ideas in our gallery.
Decorations in vintage style with ropes and sealing wax
Decorating the envelopes with ropes and sealing wax suits the vintage style. To make such envelopes, it is better to use craft paper or artificially age it. To do this, you must first crumple a regular sheet, then wipe the surface with a cotton swab dipped in a slurry of water and cocoa. After complete drying, you need to burn the edges a little.
The finished envelope is wrapped vertically, horizontally or crosswise with string and sealed. Instead of sealing wax, you can use the following compositions:
- hard wax from a cosmetic store. It should be melted in a water bath, painted in any color with watercolors, pour a little of the composition onto a knot of rope and put a stamp on top; instead, use a metal button from old jeans;
- Using a hot glue gun, seal a piece of rope located on tracing paper or film, and immediately seal it with a button. After a couple of minutes, remove the button and separate the seal from the tracing paper. Additionally, it can be painted in the appropriate color, and then glued to the envelope using double-sided tape.
Before you get started, we suggest you look at some interesting ideas for decorating envelopes in a vintage style.
Other ideas for decorating envelopes
There are a huge number of decoration options, it all depends on the imagination of the craftswoman, on the reason and theme of the gift. We offer a small master class on decorating a festive envelope for a wedding or birthday.

- hot glue gun
- wax pastel
- envelope
Step 1
Prepare the wax crayons by removing the wrapper from them. Prepare all the colors you plan to use.

Carefully place the pencil into the glue gun; in the future you will have to push it further with your hand. The melted pencil will start to leak, so lay down newspapers just in case.
Step 3
Seal the envelope with wax - in our case we used a red pencil, to which we then added a few drops of orange to achieve shimmer. Wait for the seal to harden.

Large paper envelope
An envelope of any size can be folded from a sheet of paper of the appropriate size, giving it a square shape. For work, you can take A-3 paper or a piece of beautiful wallpaper.
Operating procedure.
- Having decided on the overall dimensions, you should cut a square-shaped blank from the prepared material.
- Fold it diagonally in half, carefully smoothing out the fold.
- Fold the left corner inward, then the right corner. The top of the right corner should coincide with the fold of the left corner.
- The upper part is folded back and folded inward, tucking the top of the triangle into the resulting envelope.

New Year's mail: envelope templates and designs
Everything related to the New Year is traditionally decorated. Even letters in an ordinary purchased envelope often have painted fir branches with a toy or several snowflakes. And postcards packed in homemade envelopes retain the special warmth of the person who made them.
Making a New Year's envelope yourself is not at all difficult. To do this you need to follow the diagram:
A simple white A4 paper envelope
- Take a piece of A4 paper and, cutting off the excess (72 mm on each side), make a rhombus out of it.
- Align all four corners of the paper diamond in the middle.
- One corner should be bent, the other three should be secured by gluing a small piece of tape or paper on top.
- The resulting slits along the sides of the square should be taped with tape (transparent, thin paper or decorative colored tape).
- You can also seal an envelope with a letter using tape.
Or you can use these patterns:
The paper for making crafts can be plain white - in this case you can paint and decorate it yourself. You can also use ready-made templates that will serve as an excellent basis for colorful packaging.
Printer software
To print on a larger format than the printer allows, you can use its regular software. To do this you need to do the following:
- Open an image saved in the correct format (JPEG, PNG). To do this, you can select any built-in utility - for example, the Windows photo viewer.
- Go to the print menu and select the printer model, quality, paper type and size (in this case, A4).
- Open the printer properties and check the “Multi-page” box on the multitasking tab.
- Select poster printing, specify its size and go to settings.
- Set poster parameters - select those sheets that will not be printed, cut lines, alignment marks or overlap.
Having set all the settings, you can proceed to printing. The result will be one large image printed on standard size sheets. After careful gluing, it turns out to be A3. Although, if frames are selected, the actual size will be 5-10 mm smaller on each side.
It is also possible that the image will overlap - then the print dimensions will be standard (297x410 mm). However, there will be white stripes (borders) along the edges, and there is only one way to glue the sheets together - with tape from the back of the paper.
If your printer settings differ from those described, you can use other methods for printing A3 on an A4 device, which we describe below.

Creating a seal
So, how to make a wax seal at home? Saw off a piece from the stick, approximately 5–6 cm long. Use your hand as a guide and measure out a piece that will be convenient to use. Sand it well on all sides. Be careful about the one on which the stamp itself will be placed.
Make a print with a simple image for a stamp that fits the diameter. Cut it out in a circle, then use a thin knife to cut through the design, making a stencil from the printout.
Mirror the design to the surface of the future print so that the print gets the correct impression - from right to left. Use a pencil to paint over the cut out holes, do it carefully. To prevent the stencil from moving, it can be secured with a small piece of tape.
Next, start burning. Heat up the wood burning device, try to burn the image at the same depth so that the print is even and clear.
Treat the finished seal with drying oil or other special moisture-resistant impregnation for wood. Wipe the area thoroughly with a cloth and leave it to dry for a day, otherwise it will stain your hands. Here's how to make a wax seal at home. Within a day you can safely use it.
Gift envelope for money
Many people like to give gifts in the form of money because they don’t have to worry about what to give. The hero of the occasion will be able to buy everything he needs for himself.
To create original packaging you will again need ordinary materials, these are:
- 2 sheets of paper of different colors (one with a pattern and the other plain)
- Scissors
- Glue
- Ruler
- Pencil
- Satin ribbon of different colors
Let's start making an envelope for money with our own hands:
- On paper we mark the width and length of the future envelope. Basically, this option is made by calculating the length and width of the bill. The optimal size would be 20 by 40 cm.
- Mark the middle on the rectangle and fold the 2 long edges inward towards the center.
- Then we also bend the sides to the central point and then unbend them.
- Now the edges of the sides need to be folded in the form of triangles. The result is a rectangle with sharp edges.
- We unfold the envelope. We glue paper with a pattern (20 by 23 cm) on the outside in the central part of plain paper. We also glue the triangles on the sides with glue to the base.
- On the outside of the envelope, in the middle, we attach a ribbon, only leaving the ends so that you can tie a bow.
- We heat the ends of the ribbon, fold the envelope and knit a bow. Ready.

Turning the letter itself into an envelope
The simplest thing you can do is to do without an envelope altogether. Its role can be played by the letter itself, written on one side of an A4 sheet. In this case, the second side will be intended to indicate the addresses of the sender and recipient, or will remain blank.
If the sheets are folded into a triangle with the text facing inward, you will get the legendary soldiers' letters. During the Great Patriotic War they were called front cocked hats.
The contents of what is written on the sheet will be hidden if you fold it into a curly rectangle. The method is multi-stage and a little complicated to implement, but the message looks very presentable.

One of the services that transfers the address and name of the recipient is the free Envelope Online service. To gain access to the full functionality of the site, you need to register in the system. On the main page of the site, the user is asked to first select the type of envelope, which is designed specifically for comfortable placement of a whole sheet or folded one.

- B4 is a format that can accommodate up to 20 standard sheets. Its size is 250x353 mm;
- C4 is one of the largest, measuring 229x324 mm. It is used to send business correspondence or catalogs, as well as documents;
- C5 – documents or sheets of A4 and A5 format folded in half are usually sent;
- C6 – small size, where small cards, receipts, letters can be placed. Due to its compact size of 114x162 mm, an A4 sheet will have to be folded 4 times;
- DL is a standard for business correspondence; it holds a regular sheet of paper, folded three times lengthwise, and has a size of 110x220 mm.

In addition, in the “Horizontal” and “Vertical” sections you can select the location of the envelope on an A4 sheet. Once you have decided on the type, proceed to filling out the “Sender” and “Recipient” sections. Here you need to write the name, address and postal code of the recipient and sender. After entering all the necessary data, click on the “Create envelope” button, after which a window with the resulting address will open. It can be downloaded or opened in a new window in full size.
Folding without scissors
A convenient way when it is not possible to cut paper to the desired size. The sequence of folding the envelope will look like this:
- on sheet A4, draw a line along exactly in the middle (if it is not possible to draw a line, you can mark it with a fold, bending the sheet in half);
- the corners of one of the short sides of the sheet must be bent towards the middle until they touch;
- on both sides of the long edges of the sheet, bend strips 3.8 cm wide;
- The bottom of the paper should be folded up to the point where the folded corners of the top meet.
The envelope is ready for use. All that remains is to put a letter, postcard or other flat object inside (behind the side curved stripes). When an object is placed in the product, it is covered with the bottom.
