Materials
Target ceramics
The first thing you need is a small paintbrush the second thing you need is speedball metal leaf adhesive. Third you’ll need goldleaf which you can get from Amazon or eBay and our first step we will take our small paintbrush and apply a thin layer of your speedball mallet metal leaf around the perimeter of the heart please see below in the picture next you’ll wait and let it dry for about 30 minutes before applying your gold and he self
Immediately after using this a Heese of wash your paint brush with salt and water
I know it’s difficult to see the Heese of when it starts to dry it’s milky white then it turns clear when it’s time to clear that when you apply here in Baldwin one
The speedball metal believe what he said is milky when applied but in 30 minutes it will turn white or clear and you can apply your gold leaf oil to your project
Next will take our gold foil sheets you only need one sheet for this project take it apply it evenly you can smooth it out or if you want to texture luck you can just punch it up and just throw it on there it all depends on preference but you just set an on top you just tear off little tiny pieces and you smooth the top and you smooth the sides depending on how you put on your foil whatever you put your foil at that’s what will I hear that’s what the arm your goal for a while here too so what I normally do is I set my fall on top I don’t waste any foil whatever gets brushed off is what I’ll use in a different project and I just let it sit.
After of applying your gold sheet it should look just like this see picture below and again I keep all my scraps I just put it into a little Ziploc bag and I can just use it as a cute little fun Fetty luck or you can add it so paintings the possibilities are in list when it comes down to this foil I love it so much is so beautiful it adds a level of class you any any projects in the effort is just Nana mom it’s crazy
I’ll let my fall just sit for about 10 minutes or so him and I just keep going over it by smoothing it with my fingers after I’m finish you can take any home big fluffy brush or your fingertips to remove it and make sure that everything make sure that the fall is on the on the glue itself because if he gets on your fingertips he will have to wash your hand immediately because it is still a Heese of and you want to be safe when using when doing this project you don’t have to wear gloves but if you’re messy I would recommend gloves if you have been doing this for a while you don’t need them it is all depends on preference
Next I save as much foil as I can and I put it in my little small bags I normally use for my keychains am you can find these tiny little bags on Amazon or eBay or any craft store I think Michael’s even have them when you brush off all your foil with the brush of choice make sure you use the same method to clean the brush because sometimes they’re still wet a Heese of that’s on the brush and you have to be very careful because I have the cohesive is still wet and you’re brushing you could miss and put foil in a place that she don’t want to but I can show you exactly how to clean it up
Are use a disposable cup and I fill it with soap and water to clean my garage because I don’t wanna come off cross contaminate anything and I found this method easier for me and it keeps saying leader in my opinion
After applying your go to Heese of your take a small brush or your fingers to remove the excess goldleaf off of your golden heart and you can reapply until you until it’s pretty to you and see you like it and see your desired and so it’s how you desire it to look because the white on white was too hard to see I decided to make one of the projects pink so it’ll be better the paint that I’m using today is the spray paint for the Russ 0 million American accent and the color is candy paint the color could be found on Amazon him this color is glossy and very pretty and it gives me Valentine’s Day vibes
You don’t have to seal it but if you would like to seal it you can use epoxy am I recommend warming your Apoxsee first I have a great blog posts if you have questions on how to use up a Heese how to use epoxy and how to be safe using the epoxy
