14 x 14cm Copper Leaf – Pack of 30
SKU: MMBB0206
Add a warm metallic finish and eye-catching detail to your next DIY project with this copper leaf. Copper leafing is a simple way to add decorative touches to DIY and craft projects, helping frames, artworks, handmade décor and creative pieces shine.
This art leaf pack includes 30 sheets of 14 x 14cm leaf, made with a fine thickness. The sheets come in a stitched booklet with tissue paper between each one, helping keep the sheets separated and easier to handle.
For best results, apply a thin, even coat of leaf adhesive or size to a clean surface and allow it to become tacky (30–60 minutes) before applying copper leaf. Gently smooth the leaf with a soft brush, brush away any excess, then seal with a suitable leaf sealer or oil-based varnish if extra protection is needed.
Add a copper edge to a picture frame, bring new life to a decorative pot or give a handmade card or artwork a standout finish. However you use it, this leafing pack is an easy way to give your creative projects a metallic finish!
