    I found this video by accident. It was so lovely seeing you on the tube again! I too, used to watch you and your mom on television, many moons ago. I now live in jolly old England and it brought back wonderful memories of all the crafts I used to do. Luckily, Aleene's glue has crossed the pond along with companies using the same color of bottle and similar names to try and imitate this fabulous glue. I am not fooled! Hope I can find more videos or old ones of you and your lovely family. Thank you for being a part of my life! May God Bless and keep you and yours safe!

    OMG I can't believe this video came up. I remember watching your mother everyday years ago. I even taped her shows. Unfortunately I don't have a player for the cassettes anymore. I remember seeing you on her show too. Your mom is the reason I started doing crafts. Doing crafts has always calmed my nerves and relaxed me. I bought and used many of her products. I have subscribed to your channel so I know I'll be seeing more fun crafts. Good Luck Ladies. I miss your mom and I've never forgotten her.

    Hi, gals! I was an avid watcher of all things Aleene ... and I'm so glad to have found you again. I remember learning this technique years ago ... loved it then, still love it now. I'm sitting here eyeing an old book that I plan to turn into an art journal and this would be a perfect technique for the covers. Thank you for all the years you have shared your talents with us; I hope you will continue to do so for many more years to come. God bless.:)

    I've also achieved the look of forged copper,bronze,gold and brass by painting the foil. Acrylic in metallic colors looks pretty in both bright and antiqued faux finishes. Thinned acrylic paint in black, brown, grey or verdigris offers lots of variety to compliment any decor.

    • @Cool2Craft
      @Cool2Craft  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes! So many cool looks can be made with this technique! TFS!

  • @jademarkley2868
    @jademarkley2868 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I like it. The black paint really gives it dimension and a rustic look. Makes it more realistic, and not just like "oh it's aluminum foil". Nice job.

  • @momofschnauzers
    @momofschnauzers 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Boy was I ever excited to see you, Heidi. I watched your Mom's crafting show from it's onset for a long time after. I sure have missed not being able to watch it on TV. I even remember when she had you on the first time you appeared on the show. I think you and Tiffany have done a wonderful job and I enjoy making the crafts you demonstrate. You're Awesome !!! I am so grateful that you share your talents with others the way you do, and your demonstrations and explanations of the "how to" are so easy to understand. Thanks a million.

    I love the effect! My mom actually did this when I was very little and I never knew how. The addition of the black paint gives it a look of depth and makes it really unique! I have a couple of broken vases that I'm going to do this on! Thanks for the tips, love it!

    @cmspicher 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is so awesome -- thank you! I bought an old cigar box and wanted to make a little "memory" box for my niece. This will work out wonderful. I was planning on using some old jewely pieces from my mom her has been gone for 12 years (the pieces that no one wanted but I am oh so glad I saved!). I also have some old watches and never even thought of those to adorn with. Then there's all my stampin embellishments. It will rock!

    @jo1650 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love this technique! I remember seeing on the Aleene's craft show that I used to tape every day as I was at work and watched it at night. I did this forged foil technique on so many things, my husband at the time was afraid he would be next! LOL!!! Thanks for bringing it back along with any and all other techniques used at that time. I so enjoyed all those shows!!

  • @heidiecoartist

    I'd forgotten about this technique which some of my mom's friends used. My mom only looked on - the craft gene seemed to have skipped a generation (her at least) but fortunately hasn't skipped my kids or grandkids! Interestingly I have a newspaper clipping of her and friends doing this work in a Sioux City Iowa newspaper back in the 50's. But as I said, she was an onlooker! Thanks for posting!

    I try to recall all your mom's projects that she had on her show. True crafters know that you guys are crafting pioneers. My question is I remember your mom doing projects with glass beads and mod podge or deco podge but I can't seem to find anything in reference to that project is there anyway or time you will post this project.

  • @Cool2Craft
    @Cool2Craft  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    No, the acrylic paint does not rub off the foil. If you like, you can seal with a spray sealer but be sure to test on a small sample first to be sure that the sealer is compatible with the acrylic paint.

      Hi Diane! Always nice to reconnect with our Aleene's fans! [Tiffany]

  • @Cool2Craft
    @Cool2Craft  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes this technique would work on hard plastic. We suggest that you sand the plastic surface first. We have not tried this technique under high use (not sure how you are planning on using the hairbrush) so it will be important to seal it thoroughly.

  • @Cool2Craft
    @Cool2Craft  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi TheRealAppeal! We love connecting with our creative friends and try to answer as many questions as we can :) So happy to hear that you are enjoying this technique! Since our Momma Aleene came up with this technique over 50 years ago, it has definitely stood the test of time!

    @MissWitchiepoo 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    As soon as I saw this I was reminded that in one of my drawers I have a small folder back from the late 60's or early 70's of things to make with foil. Back then it was IN to make your own Things. I have saved that since I was a kid. It wasn't like what you made here but had been added color. I'm wondering if it could have been some of your mother's ideas? This is really a nice technique you are using here, I'm going to have to try it out. Great video!!

    • @Cool2Craft

  • @dorothydanridge
    @dorothydanridge 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm a fan of the Aleene's show from way back. I'd get up early on Sat. to watch it. No DVR, video, Tivo back then. As I am watching Heidi struggle a bit with the Tacky Glue, I'd like to know if you've ever considered putting it in a jar similar to what cold cream comes in. It would make it a bit better for those of us with arthritis. Using a small plastic knife to remove and spread it would be helpful. You may already have this on the market. If so, overlook my comment.

    @mbjjsmom 9 ปีที่แล้ว +37

    I've done this before, but used a hot glue gun to "draw" designs on my box before applying the foil. Also, if you use shoe polish (any color) instead of paint, you can buff it to a lovely shine.

  • @DixieGirl9876
    @DixieGirl9876 12 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @mayziemay5982
    @mayziemay5982 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is a great craft idea. How do you do this on a rounded object like a wooden bucket? The tin foil was hard to wrap without it doubling up. I tried using pennies underneath for texture, but it didn't seem to work. What did I do wrong?

    • @Cool2Craft
      @Cool2Craft  11 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes Tina Johnson You can certainly add a sealant if you like. We do have pieces from the Aleene's vintage archives that are over 50 years old that weren't sealed that still look good. So it really becomes a personal choice of sealant or not. Thanks for stopping by and sharing! [Tiffany]

  • @TheJervis6

    Yes Johnny Crochet! Other lightweight metal sheets can give you a similar effect. We have also used colored florist foil for this technique. [Tiffany]

    Great tips! You can also get aluminium tape from the hardware store - it's essentially foil with an adhesive backing. I've done this for costumes to fake the look of metal. A little brush of paint and it looks great.

    So many ideas where this can be applied...you could glue thick yarn or cording to write in cursive names or initials....glue on lentils or small pasta for texture...great to remember some things can be so simple and yet so chic. Thanks!!!

    Also to forge it you can put a tiny bit of paint on your brush and brush lightly over it. It puts not too much paint on and gives the same effect.

    I think the corugated parts make it look quite nice. I will try this on a picture frame
