Seal Corked Bottles

Learn how to seal corked bottles.

Have you made flavored vinegars or bean bottles and used corked bottles? You have seen the ones in stores and gift shops and they have wax on them. Well, they are very easy to do.

Supplies you need

1/2 paraffin to ½ beeswax
Ground cinnamon or other spice
crayon for coloring

Melt the paraffin and beeswax in a small tin or coffee can placed in a pan of simmering water. Be very careful because paraffin is flammable! Use low heat. Add crayon of your choice of color. You don’t have to add color if you don’t want to. Add cinnamon or spice of your choice.

When it is all melted dip the top of your corked bottle into the warm wax. Allow excess to drip back into the can. Rotate bottle slowly as wax cools for even distribution. You may need to dip the bottle several times to get a thick seal.

That’s all there is to it. These make wonderful gifts and people love to receive them.
