After some research on various metallic applications, here are two of my favorite easy methods for gilding book edges!

TIPS
• Metallic gilding waxes and paint pens don't stay on the page edges. When dry, they still rubbed or cracked off.
• Most liquid gilding paint is fine for decorative pieces which have no contact with skin or food. The toxic cancer-causing warning on the label is enough for me to not use them on hands-on projects - like a book. When choosing a gold paint, read the labels and try to use a non-toxic paint.
• Use opaque paints so that you only have to do one coat. Multiple coats will make the pages stick together.
• Use spray paint that is good quality and ideal for crafts to prevent peeling. Krylon and Valspar are good brands.

Gold leaf page edges actually have a real practical purpose too. Since gold is sooo soft, when the book is closed the metal on each page basically fuses together, creating a seal that makes the book pages much less vulnerable to humidity in the air long term!

@derekr7814 3 года назад

Putting gold leaf on the edges is much more difficult and labor intensive.

@prototypep4 3 года назад

@@derekr7814 much much more worth it though. If you're getting into bookbinding do it right not just these tacky "shortcut the shit out of everything" types of craft people are into these days.

Awesome! Another easy method is to get a gold ink pad and just go directly with it along the sides! Gold ink pads manufactured for scrapbookers and cardmakers are acid-free and non toxic too!

@leopardprints 7 лет назад

That's such a good idea. I'm making smaller books so I think that would work better. I'm also going to try metallic marker pens for thinner notepads.

@mcuna42 4 года назад

What a wonderful idea! I definitely want to try that. Do you like any certain brands?

@sidorpa1919 2 года назад

Doesn't the gold ink wear off though? Especially if you're touching it frequently? Or is it a permanent solution like the acrylic paint? (Sorry, I know this comment is from 5 years ago, but hopefully you can help a sister out lol).

@sidorpa1919 2 года назад

Hi, did the gold ink pad or metallic markers work? Or did they rub off with frequent use?

@Andromeda285 8 лет назад

@UjjalVallabh 8 лет назад

I'm going to try this! Just another idea, when I was in school I used to press the pages together like in this video and write the subject name on top of the book with a thin marker. This was helpful when I needed to grab the book in my bag, especially when you have a lot of books. I did it for my friends too! ☺

@JoDidntHearYou 8 лет назад

I love this idea! You do such a great job of filming and editing your videos. Your voice and enunciation are spot on for clear instructing. I know that's kind of a strange compliment, but it's something I really appreciate because my hearing loss can make it difficult for me to understand or hear each separate word. You're awesome! Thank you so much for continuing to educate us on book binding!

@RachelStormborn 8 лет назад

I was just starting to research about page gilding and trying to find a reasonably easy method. Choosing the correct paint was the big conundrum for me and your testing saved me a lot of time and money. TY!

@mariloupelletier9140 7 лет назад

Hi Jennifer! Thanks for making all these great videos, it helped me a lot to create nice books. I tried this method today and it worked so well. The paint I used was the Liquitex Ink (I bought it for another project). It's an acrylic liquid paint and the best part was that the pages did not stick together at all. With one layer, it was opaque enough but I know that I could have put many more without risk. It's worth the try!

@Umayisnothere 3 года назад

I love your videos and i just made two hardcover notebooks thanks to you! I was going to try the acrylic method for gilding the edges and then I discovered a much easier technique and I wanted to share it here. I couldn’t find my gold acrylic paint so instead I brushed on a thin layer of gold calligraphy ink which worked wonderfully! Definitely recommend :)

@saltyrebel2037 3 года назад

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have a large collection of (to me) priceless books. I had decided to try gilding a throw-away and I'm glad I did because... I had to throw it away! I'm going to try the spray method on some other cheap stuff and/or notebooks to get the hang of it.

@unshanks 8 лет назад

I'd considered doing the spray paint method before, but was worried about the paint bleeding too far into the pages. Thanks for testing that, now I'll be able to try it with fewer worries!

@pamn.593 8 лет назад

Thanks for the video! I've tried gilding the edges of a notebook before and found that a small roller brush used with acrylic paint worked pretty well and the pages didn't stick together too much.

@SilverLuminescence 7 лет назад

For some ease of use try deco markers. They have an oil base so the pages will originally stick, but once easily unstuck the gilding will hold fantastically. They are so easy to use, and less messy than using paint or spray paint. I have a silver leaf one for my books. Also for non metallic I would suggest alcohol markers. This will seep a little into each page, (normally about 1mm), but it gives a vibrant and colourful finish! I recently got a fantastic lagoon blue/green finish to one of my books that is a present by using this method.

You could also try what is called art gilding. First use a red color, and then gold. And when open it looks like a Salmon color. Or a blue base, with silver over the blue. Open it has a light blue shade.

@Ysheel 8 лет назад

this tutorial was great Jennifer!!! i think that other good method is use paint in powder like the shadows for the eyes, i think if you use paint in powder whit a little bit stick is probably a method with a good result how the spray. (sorry for the bad english) greats!!

@thecroftfan 8 лет назад

I used the spray paint method on one of my internship report and sadly the paint ended slightly bleeding into the pages… It's not that much visible but when operating the pages that were stuck together, it made the ink and paper shred… But anyway it turned out pretty good I might say :-D

@ariellwrf6844 8 лет назад

you might have been spray painting a little too close to the paper. I've done this before & 2 steps back can really make a difference.

@thecroftfan 8 лет назад

That's probably what happened… I don't remember it's been around 8 months since I've done that so…
