1: Calligraphy is best done on a smooth good quality paper.

2: To prevent the ink flowing to fast, place your paper on a slight slope

3: It is important to sit squarely to the surface on which you are working

4: Hold the shaft of your pen close to the nib between your thumb and first finger, place the tip of your second finger beneath the pen for support. The upper part of the pen should rest against the knuckle of your first finger

Light the wax taper and allow a pool of melted wax to collect on the surface to be sealed.

Press your seal into the wax and hold for a few seconds. The gently remove the seal.

Why not try dusting the melted wax with glitter before pressing the seal in, or you can use ribbon under the wax for that personal touch.

Care should be taken when using naked flames
