14 x 14cm Imitation Gold Leaf – Pack of 30
SKU: MMBB0205
Add a golden finish and a little extra shine to your next DIY project with this imitation gold leaf. Gold leafing is a simple way to add decorative details to DIY and craft projects, helping frames, artworks, handmade décor and creative pieces stand out.
This art leaf pack includes 30 sheets of 14 x 14cm metallic leaf, made with a fine thickness. The sheets come in a stitched booklet with tissue paper between each one, helping keep the metal leafing 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 gold 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 golden edge to a picture frame, a touch of shimmer to a handmade card or a standout finish to your latest artwork. However you use it, this leafing pack is an easy way to give your creative projects a little extra glow.
Use with leafing size/leaf adhesive to achieve decorative metal leaf gilding effects on paintings, sculpture, leather goods, metal work, glass, picture frames and much more.
