SILVER-LOOKING GILDING SHEETS

~ What ~
Made of aluminum, this pack of 25 leaf sheets looks like a thin silver lining that can cover art projects to furniture, frames, or other items. Offering a professional look, each sheet measures 5 ½ inches square. Instructions are not included.

~ Why ~
Since I have a degree in art and enjoy working with all kinds of mediums, I am in the process of making door signs for both our granddaughters so this pack of 25 gilding leaf sheets work perfectly covered over cardstock in the cut-out letters of their names. Being thin, the papers cover wherever needed and looks like real silver coating although they are made of aluminum. I like that there are plenty of sheets in the packet.

~ Why Not ~
Some may not like working with these thin sheets as they tear easily so need to be handled carefully. A few may prefer using inexpensive aluminum foil for their projects, but the results will not look as professional as leaf sheets. Since this was my first attempt with gilding, I used a paintbrush with white glue on the card first and applied the sheet on top of it; however, I quickly learned it is easier to lay the glued card face down on the sheet instead.

~ Wish ~
I wish there were more color options for the leaf sheets such as gold, pink gold, and brass. Including directions or suggested uses would be helpful. The photo shows the letters covered, and the white areas are glue that has not dried yet.

~ Want ~
If you are looking for a pack of imitation silver craft sheets, this is a great choice.
