Create an elegant gift card wallet embellished with a decorative wax seal. This project features a peacock feather patterned paper wallet with a gold-toned wax seal closure, combining traditional wax sealing techniques with modern papercraft. The finished piece provides a sophisticated and professional presentation for gift cards or small tokens.
Light your wax seal candle and allow the wax to melt completely. Place the candle on your craft mat in a safe position while it heats.
