A lot of you have been asking about the materials. The ones I used are only available here in the Philippines but I have gathered some links on Amazon so you can get the right materials and create something like this. Gold Foil - amzn.to/3vxUR7X Gilding Glue - amzn.to/3cTCXpJ Chinese Brush - amzn.to/3JmnkTN *These are affiliate links. :)
@@NicoNg I appreciate the silence and just DOING IT!!! I think most RU-vidrs LOVE the sound of their voice and think they're the next Martha Stewart. I just move on and don't bother with their channels again.
I tried different kinds of white liquid glue and when it is dry, after one hour , the gold foil don't stick at all, it works like when i use dry paper without glue. I have allways very thin gold leaf,that braks when you touch it.
All of these materials can be found at Michael's. The gold foil, brushes, etc.. for the gilding glue however I'd buy that off Amazon as it will probably be super expensive at Michael's.
I use an inexpensive, old brush cause I don't want to ruin newer and more expensive brushes cause it will eventually ruin your brush. But to prevent that from happening, you have to clean it right away. I literally run to the bathroom to wash the brush right after my last brush stroke. I wash mine on running water and and I use hand soap. I usually rinse it several times to make sure no glue is left. :)
Hey great video! I wanted to ask is there any way to make it more durable, like spray or something? I am planning to do this to my leather covered notebook , so I wanted to know if it stays on leather?
Thanks Nick! I left it gor about a few hours. Some area have thick glue, so it takes longer to dry. You'll know when its dry when it turns completely clear 😁
I don't think it will work with acrylic paint. Cause when the pain it wet, it will smudge when you press the foil on top of it. And when the acrylic paint is dry, the gold foil won't stick to it. :) Hope that helps
@@NicoNg I've used gold foil using liquid gold leaf glue as well as glue pens over dry mediums if all sorts, (even pastels, provided they have been fixed).
Someone answer me please 🥺 What kind of foil they used? Is it the gold transfer foil, Laser foil toner, or gold foil leaf? I really want to know. Thanks in advance!
Hi Lorie, I used the laser/toner transfer foil for this since it also works. Gold leaf is different, you have to brush away the excess gold, unlike with foil, you just peel off the top layer. :)
It's called transfer foil. I didn't get mine online. Bought them at an event YEARS ago. Just search it on amazon or your local ecommerce website. :) "Transfer Foil "
