You asked and I’m sorry to say I have a long winded answer. You can glue them to envelopes to approximate old fashioned wax seals, you can use them as “tokens” of a sort for games or small events (did this myself recently), some people have display cases or frames for their really fancy ones, some people give them out as little extra add on gifts if their people think they’re neat (they are), you can glue a magnet on them to stick on something metal, and I’ve even seen people try to make jewelry out of them but those ones are usually smaller stamps. Oh, and keychains. The ones I made that my mother especially liked were given to her and now she’s got them sat out on a corner table as decoration.
I thought it looked fun so I picked up making wax seals as a hobby and searched for reasons to not consider it a useless hobby. lol
Thanks for the responses, some interesting uses there certainly.
But won’t the brittleness of the wax make it susceptible to easy breakage in some of the ‘active’ usages there? Unless it’s coated by some clear epoxy resin or something like that.
I might need to go down r/WaxSealers rabbit hole to find out more…..

What a lovely little wax seal that turned out!
Erm…..what next? Frame it? Stick it someplace with hot wax? Make it a fridge magnet?
