how to make a fake gold leaf paint effect! I show my strange method gold leaf paint effect using a spray can of paint and polythene sheet!
gold leaf cheat shabby chic effect In this video i experiment with trying to create a gold leaf antique effect,this idea came to me after seeing dried paint falling off thin polythene sheets at work. I use a polythene dust sheet which is sprayed with gold spray paint. the results are quite good but need a little more work to be perfect for my shabby chic projects, i want to make a table to look like an antique with worn and cracking gold leaf and for the base paint of red to show through.
The first attempt didnt quite work but when a spray fabric adhesive was used the effect worked well.
remember you saw it here first!

I love this idea! Really makes a great gold leaf affect! Bravo! I have also made gold leaf pour paste ons with gold latex paint on a plastic trash bage opened and stretched on my counter. Then use eraser to lift edges. This way I can place my gold exactly where I want it before glue down on furniture! My armoire is GORGEOUS 🔆

@@Instone09ine wish I could add my photos from my armoire completion.

Hmmm...It worked great with the gold and I will assume it will work with any color. I love the effect. I have a small shelf that I will try this on. Thanks for the idea.

@Instone09ine 10 лет назад

Hi the video is my first attempt at this and it should work with any kind of paint, im going to do a full video soon using the same method but with a better base colour and using semi dry(tacky) clear varnish as an adhesive rather than fabric glue!thanks for the comment :)

@dylanberry7822 8 лет назад

very cool! I've been looking for an easy way to achieve a similar effect (thought for my purposes I may try pulling less paint off) Great video!

I got some imitation gold flake recently I wonder if this is how it's made.

@weeredfrog 8 лет назад

This looks great! does it work out cheaper than gold leaf? also the colour looked a little cold was that just the camera?

@Instone09ine 8 лет назад

+Luke Barclay Hi it would be much cheaper i think, and the red colour was indeed cold looking perhaps a more terracotta would have looked better

Love this idea, have to give it a try, will post pics of outcome

@faithconroy9780 10 лет назад

I am going to try this with chalk paint that is not quite dry and see if it sticks to the wet paint. It should, even if it removes a bit of the paint from the shelf, that would add to the distressed look I want. I can't use glue or varnish because I want to wax the chalk paint and then go over that with a dark wax. I think the varnish will interfere with the look I am going for.

hi !! did ur experiment work ??

@KSMSDRPEPPER 10 лет назад

Ahh very cool idea. I'm wanting to do something like this, as I have some gold foil sheets that I bought years ago for another project, and want to combine it with a distressed paint and maybe paper decoupage type effect??

@Instone09ine 10 лет назад

Hi thank you. I do like your idea of mixing gold leaf and decoupage! sounds interesting.

Is the polythene the same as a painting drop cloth? Where do you purchase it? LOVE this effect. Thank you for the video!

@Instone09ine 10 лет назад

Christy Seguin Hi thanks Christy yes its drop polythene sheet the thin type and should be easy to get hold of from a diy store

@bio2811 7 лет назад

I really like the aesthetic result of this technique and the sophisticated artistic effect it gives the furniture. Does the polythene dust sheet leave any leftovers on the furniture when peeled off? I'm into trying this out on a small bedside table and I would really appreciate some feedback :)

@Instone09ine 7 лет назад

Hi Helen the polythene remains completely intact, i decided to try this technique after seeing paint fall off my poly dust sheets at work ! I must admit i was surprised at how well it worked with the spray paint. I'm thrilled your going to have a go :)

@bio2811 7 лет назад

Thank you millions! I've never come across anything similar before, it's absolutely original and genius. Extra kudos for scrapping the paint off of that cute table using a coin! :D
