14 x 14cm Imitation Silver Leaf – Pack of 30
SKU: MMBB0204
Add a flash of silver and a little extra shine to your next DIY project with this imitation silver leaf. Silver leafing is great for adding decorative details to your DIY and craft projects, helping frames, artworks, craft projects and home décor pieces stand out and shine.
This art leaf pack includes 30 sheets of 14 x 14cm metallic leaf, made with a fine thickness. The sheets also 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 silver 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 metallic edge to a frame, a little shimmer to a handmade card or a standout detail to your latest artwork. However you use it, this leafing pack is a simple way to make creative projects shine.
