Instructions
1 The first thing when you are gold leafing something you can choose almost anything from glass to ceramic , you just have to make sure its clean and dry
2. The next step is to paint it all with the adhesive that comes in the kit you put a good amount on and let it dry for about 1 hour
3. Now your ready to add the gold leafing, this is kind of tricky to use because its so thin so if you’d like you can cut the gold leafing by leaving it between the papers on the sheet
4. Lay your sheet over the spot you have used the adhesive it will stick fast and you can tell because it wont stick if there isn’t the sticky adhesive then lightly rub the sheet of gold leafing down and you will see how fast and beautiful this is
5.As you can tell by now once its down it doesn’t come off
6. Leave it as it is or you can take your ink and gently rub it over the top and it will take on that antique look
7. You can spray your finished project with a varnish and it will last forever
Enjoy!
