Remove the lid from a narrow bottle, such as an old medicine bottle or glass baby food jar. Clean the inside so that it's free of any residue.

2
Roll a piece of felt that's thick enough to fit through the top of the jar, stopping up the end and serving as a wick for the moisture. The felt should be tall enough to touch the bottom of the jar and extend approximately ½ inch outside the top.

Fill the jar 1/3 of the way full of water. Stuff the felt wick into place and allow it to absorb the moisture. Tilt the jar so the wick faces downward to aid in absorption.

Tips & Warnings
You can use a piece of foam that's tall and wide enough to fit into the jar in place of felt if necessary.
Remove the wick and add water as necessary if sealing a large number of envelopes.
