Using Wax Pencils In Your Scrapbook

Another important writing implement for scrapbooking is a wax pencil. Wax pencils are soft pencils designed to write on glass, plastic and photographs. You can buy them at scrapbooking and photography specialist shops. These pencils are easy to draw with and can be used to color in portions of lettering, in borders, or to create accents.

Their most useful application is for marking or drawing shapes onto a photograph to help you crop it (perhaps in conjunction with a stencil), as they will easily wipe off the photograph with a paper towel or tissue.  If you use the same wax pencil on the back of the photograph, the ink will become permanent. Wax pencil ink is acid free and available in a variety of colors, although the most commonly used in scrapbooking is blue.
