Hey guys, if you have questions, just leave them in the comments section below. Thanks for watching and commenting. I always include any products that I use in my videos in the description box above or you may see all my Amazon favorites at: amzn.to/3t1SfwR. See you in the next one.
It is not actual gold leaf, because gold leaf acts quite a bit differently than this. anyone trying this with real gold instead of "faux" (fake) gold will have all sorts of problems. I'm not here to be negative, I'm just pointing this out. There are very good reasons one way or another to choose fake or real, so do your homework. (because the real stuff is very expensive)
You are correct. I did not use actual gold leaf in this video, but I have used real Gold leaf, as in, not imitation gold leaf I’m several projects. I did not notice it behaving any differently in my projects. I have used real gold leaf from LA Gold Leaf for years. I have never experienced any problems working with it, other than it being slightly more difficult to work with, as it is very very delicate. Mine look practically indistinguishable. What have you experienced?
FINALLY! A USEFUL and FAST video about using modge podge and gold leaf! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
You are so welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks for the advice! It’s my first time playing around with this stuff and I think you may have saved me before I made a big ol mess with it 😅 the beauty blender idea is awesome. 🙌🏼
It works so well. I literally use the beauty blender any time that I have to work with gold leaf. Absolute life saver. Glad you enjoyed it.
@@RaphaelaLaureancould you use pvc glue ?
@@makeupbykulz8603 I'm not sure, as I've never tried it, but if you do, please let us know if that works. Thanks for watching.
Great tips. Thanks!
that's what unicorn tears look like 😜
omg, you made it so simple. I tried gliding a week ago and got so discouraged because I was trying to apply the gold leaf while it was still wet. Yes, it has to be tacky to the touch, a vital step. And I love the fact you used some glue that is not from a special brand...which originally I thought was what I had to do. I am learning that there are a variety of options, and I don't have to spend hundreds on name brands...thank you.
Yeah, if I were gilding something going in a museum or something, I would probably use gilding adhesive (maybe), but for everyday projects, this has never served me wrong. I'm so glad you found it helpful. 😍
What kind of glue are you using for the gold foil?
I have used all kinds, but mostly I just use regular Elmers.
I love your personality girl, ❤
Aww thanks babe. 🥰
Spray contact cement would cut that video 75%.
Do you have to use modge podge or can you use something else, too?
You can use just regular glue too. I have used all kinds of different glue, but I usually just use Elmer's. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
@@RaphaelaLaurean that's very helpful, thank you!!
To the point and easy to do: thanks!
Proof!!! I do NOT belong in a padded cellI, well not today anyway....😂 Gilding a frame. No MP tho. I stuck the leaf to still tacky $1. spray paint. My daughter stood, mouth agape to find me also using:
Same lash tweezers. To tamp and smooth , B Blender, Sigma E40, and M.A.C 263 brushes. Finished with clear coat, or brown wax for that an antique look. It turned out GORG!
DISCLAIMER:
No cosmetic brushes were harmed during the process of this DIY project. 😂
Omg your comment is gold. That had me cracking up. It works like a charm. Thanks for commenting. 😂😂😂
Love the idea of a beauty blender. More control. Great video
It’s so much easier. Thanks for watching ❤️
Thanks 🙏🌹👍
You are so welcome.
Ok so I was looking for a quick tip on the gold foil and stumbled across your video and just had to subscribe. I love your projects and DIYs and love the way you describe your moves and just the free and fun way you deliver your videos.
Aww thank you for taking the time to tell me that. You just made me smile. I’m so happy you enjoyed the video. See you around in the next one. 🥰
Can u please do a tutorial on how to do real gold leaf painting?
I have it on my filming calendar for next month. Subscribe to be notified when it goes up. As far as application method and the way it looks, it's honestly not much different, but I am going to do a comparison video between the two. Thanks for watching.
Shouldn't you burnish it in some way after applying?
Yes, you can and I do. I just use a really dense makeup brush.
Thanks so much this tutorial! How permanent is this once it dries?
Mine has stayed on since this video and it’s not going anywhere. Hope that helps.
I wish we could actually see how it looks in the end. You immediately cut away when it was done while you were still saying "look at this" and when you came back there were two huge "Watch next" boxes over the video covering the exact spot the rock was on the screen.
I agree. I wasn't as good at editing back then. I have learned. Thanks for the feedback. I will be more careful about that in the future. I believe I have corrected that issue with the latest videos. Thanks for watching and commenting.
23k gold doesn’t behave like that at all, but could that have quadruple thick?
I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're asking.
Was that white stuff glue or grease or coconut butter or what? If glue then is it water soluble or aceton soluble. So many questions.
It was just regular elmer's glue.
@@RaphaelaLaureani thought it was Modge Podge? Did i miss something?
@@rhondafrederick4049 I've used both regular Elmer's white glue and Mod Podge. They work the same for adhering faux gold leaf to pretty much anything. Hope that helps.
Didn't catch name of scissors ???
I’m still obsessed with these. amzn.to/3IVj7Hz
Still obsessed amzn.to/3IVj7Hz
Thanks
@@leeleelee8672 You are so welcome. ❤️
Very cool. Just ordered gold sheets from Temu and had no idea how to use them. 👍
Let me know if they are any good. I saw them on there too. I literally put these on so many things to make them look more polished and upscale. Glad you enjoyed it.
Me too!
does the glue necessary ? 😄
I couldn’t get it to stick without it.
Can you crush the gold leafs together with art and gym chalk? It’s used in some gym chalk videos
I'm sorry, but I have no idea. That said, if you do it and find out, post it in the comments for others to see too. Thanks for watching and commenting. Let us know what you find out.
Ya made it easy. Thank you so much!
Thank you 🤓
Howcome you didnt tell us whay kind of glue you used? Looks like mod podge. Nevermind the kind of scissors ✂️ 🙃
Good point. I did forget to mention it, but in this video it was Mod Podge. I have used Elmer's glue, Mod Podge and DIY Mod Podge (which I am actually releasing a video about tomorrow). That all work pretty interchangeably in my opinion. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
I mean she did forget to mention the name but you can easily see that the bottle said Mod Podge on it. Unless you are visually impaired ( in which case disregard this comment) then it was very obvious what she used.
Very useful
🙄
what did you use for adhesive?
It was Mod Podge
What is ratio to put gold leaf on gold ring
I would have no idea about that specific project. Did you figure it out?
What glue do you use?
It was just Elmers.
Great short cut tips.
Thank you. I’m glad you liked it. I still do this trick every time I am working with gold leaf. Thanks for watching and commenting. ❤️
Hello. What is that you applied before the paper? The adhesive you used..
I believe it was mod podge
@@RaphaelaLaureancan you use anything?
@@baHANNAHpie I have used regular Elmer's glue with no problem. Hope that helps.
I apologize. I thought I already responded to this, but it was just regular Elmer's glue. You don't need anything special. Thanks for watching.
Yes, you are completely correct. That's what I was using, just regular Elmer's. Thanks for answering that question. I thought I. had responded to it already. I appreciate you doing that.
