If you do not have beads lying around, you can also make little beads using wax. Each time after making a seal, you should notice a small amount of wax left in the spoon. I always feel that it is a waste to discard the wax, so sometimes I drip the wax quickly to create micro wax beads. They can be kept for the next wax sealing project after they harden.
I also found two ways to use these micro wax beads. Firstly, after pouring wax, I scattered a few micro wax beads before stamping to create a polka dot pattern (see the tulip wax seals above). Secondly, these micro wax beads can be attached to the border of melted wax to create a cute collage effect (see the bird wax seals above).Â
