- I found an AWESOME Art Hack with Gold Leaf that will save you so much time and money!
Alright so what even is gold leaf. Gold leaf is just decorative and adds a little shimmer and glimmer to your painting or project. Its way prettier than the glitter paint because I still can’t make that stuff work.
Most of it is not actual gold, and what I have is definitely not gold because I got that stuff for 2.74 at Hobby Lobby when it was regular 10.99.
Its a very thin sheet and literally the wind will break it when you are transferring it from room to room. It comes in pages so you’ll get like 25 pages, I think on amazon you can get 100 sheets for 8.99, but I didn’t want to pay for shipping.
Before you use it, I would recommend covering your table because this stuff sticks to everything like I gold leafed the table accidentally, my phone, my husband; it was everywhere.
Here’s the thing, you are supposed to use a specific adhesive with this. Its called Adhesive Size or Gold Size. You can get it at hobby lobby or amazon. But here’s the deal, ya’ll know I roll cheap. So Hobby Lobby was out of their adhesive, so the lady told me to come back tomorrow night. Well there was a tornado afoot, so I was like well I wonder if I have anything around the house with which to adhere my gold leaf to the wood coaster.
I thought WAIT MOD PODGE. Surely that wouldn’t work right? WRONG worked like a charm. So if you have any mod lodge hanging around, try that and see what happens. And you can also seal with it.
So what I did was carefully take it out of its book and lay it on my coaster. Then I pressed it down with my fingers gently and waited for about thirty minutes. Then after that I took a brush and wiped away anything that wasn’t stuck and viola! Then I sealed it. I even did it on a clay pot and BAM worked perfectly.
I hope you guys enjoyed this video and it helped you in some way:) Let me know what you think!
Love this so much. I’ve been trying to gold leaf a project of mine for days and wanted to scream bc i have that gold stuff EVERYWHERE! This worked perfectly for me!
Haha! Omg and like when it blows when the wind from the fan catches it and you’re like NOOO STOP 🤣🤣🤣 good times being an artist haha I’m glad the video helped you!!
I tested some gold leaf on a plastic phone charger 😅 I used basic pva glue, waited about a minute and stuck the sheet on. It was a mess. The foil got all clumped up and broke and wouldn't stick back on to any other glued parts. It got very scrunchy and clumpy and textured from trying to flatten the foil out and every time I tried to get it to flatten out or if I added more pieces it just became more clumpy with the gold forming grainy bits. Might dilute the pva next time and try again. The gold size they sell in store is not worth the expense especially as I'm not sure how often I want to work with gold foil because it's so fussy and messy. Thanks for this video🌼
Omg I’m so sorry it didn’t work out because a gold leafed phone case sounds really cool haha thanks for watching! I hope it helped somehow haha
Thanks a lot! That was very helpful, I'll try it right away. By the way, this is the first time I watch your videos and let me tell you that you're very nice. Wish you and your loved ones the best always. Greetings from Morelia México
@@kattytj1 awe thank you! That means so much to me! I always try to be a positive energy! Thanks for stopping by my channel!
Just what I was looking for because mod lodge was all I had. Thanks so much.
Awesome! I’m so glad this video helped you! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I just wanted to thank you so much for taking the time to explain it so beautifuly. Easy to understand and fun to watch and again thank you, thank you and keep up the good work. 👍♥️.
Awe! That means so much to me! I’m so glad you enjoyed this video ♥️♥️ I’ll be sharing more fun content soon!
I am addicted to mod podge, so of course I have some. Just ordered gold sheets from Temu, but had no idea how to use them. I am a scrappy crafter to like to use what I have around. No fancy smancy stuff for me. Great video. 👍😅
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed my video! Let me know how the temu purchase turns out, I’ve heard great things about it! But I’ve never bought anything from them…yet 😊 I’m also not a fancy shmancy person either!
@@TheKayPitt I have gotten lots from Temu and been very happy with most things, and gotten credits or refunds for things I wasn't 100% happy with.👍Also have won free stuff playing there farmland and Fishland games.(but it takes a while 2-3 months) I have a Temu playlist, and those videos have links to the games and all items in the description box.
Exactly the info i was looking for…my “gold” leaf came from Temu lol. Im not about to spend money on a special glue when ive never done this before. More importantly though….i didn’t want to leave the house. Thanks!
@@rhondafrederick4049 haha you are speaking my language! I never want to leave the house so legit I feel you on that one haha I also need to try Temu! I’m glad you had a good experience with it!
Pretty awesome!! Never used gold leaf either but I always wanted to!
Dude! You could gold leaf the Dodge Dart! 🤣🤣🤣
@@TheKayPitt We actually thought it would be awesome if you came to Idaho and painted the car for the race...
@@IronHorseGarage dude! That would be dope 🎉🎉🎉🎉 I’ll see if me and the doggo can make the drive 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for sharing... watching from India ❤
@@sheetalsharma2917 wow! Thank you so much for watching! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm not the only one using Mod Podge for gold leaf 😂 it worked great for me also. You are absolutely right as a crafter, I have like 4 bottles in my house.
@@greeneyedbella1635 yes! I love it! Such a cheap and convenient solution to gold leafing haha 😆
Thank you! Was looking for confirmation this would work! ✌💡❤🎨

This is the first video of yours I have watched and you are funny and helpful. New subscriber. Thanks for being real!
Thank you!! This is what I was looking for.
You are so welcome! I glad you got something out of my tomfoolery!
Dude I love your freaking channel! Finally, another chick artist that says dude as much as me! 😂 F'n A! Modge podge is genius, so much cheaper than gilding glue! Thanks again for sharing!
Love your energy!! Thanks for the info!
No problem! Thanks for the compliment! 🤗🤗🤗
You are so funny, thank you! You made me laugh ! I needed to laugh!❤
Awe! I’m so glad! Haha I feel like making people laugh is sometimes more important than the information given! 🤣🤣🤣
Ur my new favorite RUclips artist! Can I please carry u around on my shoulder to say all the shit I think in my head… but isn’t “PC” to say out loud? U had me at, “Homey I’m not really trying to die via a tornado to gold leaf a coaster”! Facts! Think the world could be much easier if people would just state what the hell they really mean to say, takes all the guess work out of trying to interpret what they’re trying to get at. Thank u for not sugar coating what u think/feel & just saying what u mean, u made my day! N I’m not sure if the kids still say keep it 100 or not, but I think it should be a Universal Law or Oath of some sort😂❤
Great video..also I just usedElmers Glue stick! It worked wonderfully!
Oh perfect! That sounds like an even cheaper option! Thanks for sharing 🤗🤗
Not me searching RUclips just to find on that says I can use modge podge lmao 🤣💛
Haha! Girl I’m all about finding the cheaper options so I’m totally with you 🤣🤣
EXCELLENT! I appreciate your work!
Thank you! I’m doing my best lololol
Put those scraps in a jar lift out using a brush...no waste.
Oh smart, I’m all about no waste that’s for sure 🙌🏻
Thanks!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
You are funny too !❤️👍❤️
Thank you! I love making people laugh! 😆
How about a coloring book page ? How long would u leave the gold leaf on the image ? Love your video,❤
Thank you! I’m so sorry I’m just now seeing your comment! I feel like you could do the same with a coloring book page!
Hey great video
Thank you! I appreciate your support! I hope you and the family have an awesome Easter 😊😊
Ur fun plz make more videos
I have made a big painting, and afterwards imitation gold leaf, but now after 2 month it is turning green!? Any idea?
@@PT-hs5rn congrats on the big painting! I have no idea why it’s turning green, maybe just oxidation?? I wonder if you could seal it with varnish and that would stop the green from progressing? Just a thought!
What you use to seal it.
👊🏻 Awesome!
Thank you! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Greattt thanks.
Did you put varnish after finishing the whole piece ?! And how? Sho I add water to the varnish ? Or use it directly from the bottle ?!
@@tanianaboulsi7522 i cannot for the life of me remember what I used to seal it! It might have still been mod podge! I know I tried pouring whatever it was over it but that made it alittle too thick on the top, but then I didn’t want brush strokes either so I wasn’t happy with either method 😭😭😭
@@TheKayPitt I’m trying to figure out how to seal any work.
I’m preparing myself to start my own business, painting on woods, on canvas , on suitcases…. Different things. But the sealing is what I can’t seem to know how to do it. I’m scared of ruining my work. You know !
@@tanianaboulsi7522 I know the feeling for sure! And I want to let you know that I bought some gloss varnish to seal my painting on acrylic paper and it made the colors POP! So I would totally recommend that! But I’m not sure about the wood!
@@TheKayPitt can we use it on canvas ?
And do I have to add something to the varnish or gloss? Like water?
I mean the bottle is not that big and if I want to use it with every canvas or anything else it would finish sooner than I would like. Sadly it’s expensive 😅
@@TheKayPitt by the way you’re the first person that would answer my questions and reply to my comments on youtube I mean as the owner of the account. So thank you for that, you made my day. 🤍
You’re so old!!!! Lol
This is so cute! I love it!! 🥰
Haha! So old! 🤣🤣 thank you! 🥰🥰😍😍
What do you think about using gesso?
Ur a jewel! How did u seal it
Notification Gang ‼️🔥🔥🔥
I appreciate you!! Hope you are doing well!
Does this technique work on teeth? If so rappers are getting ripped off lol. Great video!
Lolololol I don’t know but that would be quite the work around 🤣🤣🤣
You’se a baller shot caller thanks
@@JasmineGod-fd5ur haha! I love that song! Thanks!
