To keep thoughts organized before paper's widespread use, people used wax tablets. These writing tools offer similar detail as pen and paper, and allow for easy erasures by smoothing the wax with a finger or stylus. Create your own wax tablet using wood, PVA glue, and wax colored with dark hues like purple, black, green, and blue. Heat the wax in a metal pot or using a hot air gun, then pour it into the tablet until about 75% of the base is covered. Allow the wax to cool before smoothing the surface with a cloth or stylus, creating an erasable writing space. A ballpoint pen makes a suitable stylus, and you can even dedicate a color for wax removal. Share your DIY creations; good luck!
