Chic DIY Gold Leaf Faux Jewelry

This project is for those who like to be eye-catching and fabulous! So let’s create this accessory. You’ll need one sheet of imitation gold leaf, spirit gum or non toxic liquid adhesive, a foam brush and tape. Start by cutting the sheet of gold leaf into half inch strips. Then use scotch tape to tape off an area of the skin. The gold leaf won’t adhere to anything without an adhesive agent so an application of spirit gum is necessary. Now apply a coat of spirit gum with a foam brush, until it’ll become tacky. Then pick up a strip of gold leaf and press the gold side onto the tacky area with pressure. Next remove the strip and repeat the steps until the whole area is covered. The rest of the tutorial is here.
