Making Scrolls! - A photo Step by Step guide!

This is a step by step photo guide to making your own scrolls with a wax seal! I bought four wax sticks but only used half of one. I made eleven seals, two for practice, eight countries, and one for my own copy of the scroll to put up on the display.

PLEASE NOTE: Every single step is necessary to achieve the desired effect, you must not skip any step at all. Seriously.

Step 1: Type up a letter to all the Nations of the BCP (Bevelle Council of Peace)

Step 2: Roll up the letter and use a used toilet roll to keep it in shape.

Step 3: Get an auld Dominos Menu(no other menu or scrap of paper will suffice) to protect your table.  Light a tea light and hold your specially bought stick-o-wax over the flame to melt it.

Step 4: Find any old coin or badge to use as a stamp. Found this one in a little stand in George's Street Arcade.

Step 5: Realise that Step 2 makes no sense and put the toilet roll inside the paper. 

Step 6: Find out that Dexter is on and relocate to the sitting room.

Step 7: Try not to freak out when the wax gets all stringy.

Step 8: Roll up the page again, because you foolishly let go during Step 6.

Step 9: Repeat Step 3, but with the nice Cinnamon scented candle you bought on a whim before Christmas and never really bothered lighting.

Step 10: Rub the melted wax onto the joint in the paper.

Step 11: While the wax is still molten, firmly press the stamp  into the wax.

Step 12: "I'll hold it for a bit longer... just to make sure"

Step 13: There we go! Darn stamp wasn't very deep, so the design isn't too obvious, but it still looks very cool.

Step 14: Weep silently as the children rip it apart without a second thought.

Step 15: Laugh maniacally as you plan to hand out the next test this way to get revenge.
