Thank you. I just ordered some gold sheets from Temu but had no idea how to use them. Glad to hear mod podge can be used. I have that. 👍💕

@Happyspacediys Месяц назад

Yes! So many uses! Even on smaller DIYs like picture frames and candle stick holders, etc! Mod podge works great! You can use a thin layer as a top coat too! Have fun with your gold leaf 😁✨️

@bobnunyabiznz4917 2 месяца назад

How do you make sure the gold leaf doesn’t flake off after applied on drawers, particularly the interior?

@Happyspacediys 2 месяца назад

I would use a few coats of polyurethane in satin or semi gloss to keep the shine of the gold leaf while giving it durable protection. Hope this helps!😊

@mistyburge8472 2 года назад

Enjoying your videos so much!! I’m loving the pastel purple piece. Can you please tell me what color and brand?

@Happyspacediys 2 года назад

Hi Misty! Thank you so much! 🤗 I went ahead and listed the paint color with a link for you in the description box ❤ So glad you're enjoying the videos! Have a great day 😊💕💕

@lindysmith13 3 года назад

Do you need to spray the gold leaf afterward to keep it from flaking off? I loved what you did with it.

@Happyspacediys 3 года назад

Hi Linda! Thank you so much ❤ Yes, exactly! I used a spray acrylic and usually use a water based polyurethane (very thin coats) or a furniture wax. It just depends where it's at and the look.

@Imana23 9 дней назад

Hi. I have a Krylon prime and paint spray for exterior and interior. It’s not a chalk paint. Do you think that golden foil will adhere to this paint?

@Happyspacediys 8 дней назад

Hi there! Great question! The Krylon spray paint should be perfectly fine as a base for your gold foil. However, make sure the spray paint has fully dried. If it's still "sticky dry" the foil will be more difficult to work with. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching 😊

@rose-hope 9 месяцев назад

Can you use policrylic as your gold leaf adhesive? I want to use a stencil but my gold leaf size isn’t runny/abundant enough to use a roller to apply it.

@Happyspacediys 9 месяцев назад

Great question! I would think so! If you have a little spare, I'd try it out on a tester first. I'd use the same method of waiting for it to get tacky and then lay on the gold leaf. Wait for it to dry completely and brush off what didn't stick. Hope this helps! 😊🙌

@mellybubble111 Год назад

What do you use for top coat and does it fade quickly without top coat. Will top coat change the colour

@Happyspacediys Год назад

Hi Mellisa! You can use a water-based polyurethane top coat or clear furniture wax. It does need some sort of protection to prevent damage and preserve the color. If you use clear top coats it will not change the color of your gold leaf. I've kept all of my gold leafing projects, and they all still look great like the first day! Hope this helps! Thank you for watching ❤

@JASONAVALENTINE Год назад

What about wear? Like if you apply the gold to a handle or bare wall won’t it brake off?

@Happyspacediys Год назад

Great question! It shouldn't. The adhesive and top coat will create enough of a protection to where it'll stay and not flake off. If you don't use a top coat, the gold leaf is more susceptible to damage from wear.

What did you used as powder for your hands?

@Happyspacediys 19 дней назад

I used baby powder. Corn startch works as well!

@Imana23 9 дней назад

Will matter mod podge work for golden leaf?

@Happyspacediys 8 дней назад

Yes, that will work fine 😊 The finish isn't much of a concern regarding getting the gold leaf to stick. It's more the type of glue. The only time finish matters is when you are applying it as a sealer/ top coat. And then it's just personal preference 😊

@greghaff229 Год назад

You could have laid the box on its side and then you would be working on a flat area.

@Happyspacediys Год назад

By box, you mean the dresser? Not all of us have the strength to be flipping dressers on their side. But I'm sure those that do would benefit from your suggestion! Thanks for the tip!
