@@Imana23 Yes, mod podge will work for sealing 😊

@@ledzepgirl299 Thank you!

@@01celesta That's wonderful! 🙌 I'm so happy my video was helpful for you! 😁

Yes, that will work fine 😊 The finish isn't much of a concern regarding getting the gold leaf to stick. It's more the type of glue. The only time finish matters is when you are applying it as a sealer/ top coat. And then it's just personal preference 😊

@@Happyspacediys thank you.

Hi there! Great question! The Krylon spray paint should be perfectly fine as a base for your gold foil. However, make sure the spray paint has fully dried. If it's still "sticky dry" the foil will be more difficult to work with. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching 😊

That makes me so happy! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment 😊 I hope your dresser turns out amazing! Have fun! ❤️

Hi! It's Stormy Seas by Dixie Belle Paint Company 😊 I have a link to it in the description box. The trim is their Vintage Duck Egg. Have fun! 😁

That would be fun and creative! Hope it turns out well 😊 Have fun with it!

Thank you! 😁

I used baby powder. Corn startch works as well!

I used a polyurethane top coat. I believe the brand was Varathane. However, any polyurethane top coat will work just fine. You can also use furniture wax as well if you don't like polyurethane 😊 Hope this helps!

Yes, of course!

Great question! It's a mixture of paint and water. The ratios can differ, affecting the pigment of the wash. You apply it to dried paint, sanded wood, or other surfaces. And as you start to wipe it back, it leaves a light layer of color. It's fun to play around with! You can also use a few different washes to ad depth and interest. Thanks for your question! Hope this helps!

@@Happyspacediys thank you. I never heard of this before your video. It intrigued me and I started watching other videos about this technique. Thanks for the response. ☺️

I'd love to do an updated ombre tutorial! I'm currently in the process of healing a back injury and getting ready to move. There are a few older ones on the channel. A blue chest of drawers and a light pink vanity. You can see the blend better on the blue piece. Unfortunately, the pink one doesn't show up well because I'm blending it with white.

I hope this information finds you in a better head space. 1st, If you were to look up blue prints for building a coffee table and an ottoman, there are a lot of similarities. Also, to your point, some ottomans are structurally unimpressive, just as coffee tables can be. To avoid acquiring such flimsy furniture, I use my experience and knowledge to inspect how the table is crafted. Thankfully, this one is all real wood, has a center stretcher along with strong corner joints. 2nd, I wouldn't put up a video misinforming viewers. I make these videos to help viewers and I literally profit pennies, if that, for doing so. I'm honest when projects are difficult, I'm honest with prices, I have no sponsors, and if a project doesn't work, I'll scrap it. Lastly, I understand viewing a video through a negative perspective can lead to the desire to be... well... negative and further your burning need to prove a point. However, might I suggest a bit of research prior to a comment like this. I mean, if you think you're right, you should back it up with the correct knowledge. I'll go ahead and like and give you a heart because I do appreciate your comment. It allowed me to explain to my viewers and you some valuable information. And who doesn't like to learn something new every day? Therefore, random internet person, fear not! Your time and comment were not in vain. I hope you are having a better day, and thank you for watching my free video!

Thank you for watching! 😊 The base paint is a Berh Chalk Paint, and the top coat is a Satin based polyurethane. I've used gold leaf on lots of varieties of paint bases, and they all seem to hold up great. You can use polyurethane or clear furniture wax as a top coat. I haven't had my gold leaf dull when using those products.

Yes! So many uses! Even on smaller DIYs like picture frames and candle stick holders, etc! Mod podge works great! You can use a thin layer as a top coat too! Have fun with your gold leaf 😁✨️

Thank you so much! I'm glad it was helpful for you! 😊

You're very welcome! Thank you for watching! 😊

Thank you! I really enjoyed this technique 😊 Thanks for watching!😁

Thank you!

Thank you!

I would use a few coats of polyurethane in satin or semi gloss to keep the shine of the gold leaf while giving it durable protection. Hope this helps!😊

You're very welcome! I'm happy you enjoyed the tutorial 😊 Thank you so much for watching and leaving such a kind comment!❤️

Hi Emily! For this one, I did not sand the jewelry box. I did wait a day for the primer to adhere, which helps when continuing on with paint. You are correct about the process though! I usually sand, clean, prime and paint. 😊 Thanks for the question and watching! ❤️

Thank you so much! 🩷

Thank you for watching! I appreciate the comment 😊

For these, I cleaned them and then gave them 2 coats in gold spray paint 😊

My guess, gold leaf is the more popular choice. There are some that use silver and other colors. Gold leafing has a history in art and decor and has been elevated in that sense too. For me, it's what I bought to match the colors I have for projects. It would be fun to try other colors out 😊

Me too! 😊

I appreciate it! 😊 Thank you for watching!

I love this so much! This is why I make these videos 😁 I'm so happy I was able to help with your exact question. That's just awesome! Happy gold leafing! 😁✨️

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 tell me how you really feel 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for the input. I guess don't finish the video??🤷‍♀️

Hi there! It's pretty common to do if you are using a paint brush and not a sprayer. The misting of water helps move the paint around, uses less paint and promotes an even finish. Hope this helps! 😊

Hi there, If it's the spray lustre, I'm not 100% sure how that would work for applying the gold leaf. Sealing it with a spray mod podge is what I've tried in the past and can confirm it works. I'd test a small area out with the product and see how it works. In theory, it should. Spray, wait for it to get tacky and then lay the gold leaf on. Hope this helps!

@Happyspacediys no its the glue madge podge I bought from amazon. I came across few of your videos ,so taught id try it for myself .never done any thing like this before so first time . Thank you for your reply .do I put the modge podge threw the stencil lightly n leave it for a while ?? And then put the gold leaf on top of it .??

@@user-cq2jk8hv2p oh ok! So if it's the glue, then yes you're right on track! You can hold or tape your stencil in place, apply the mod podge, (it can dry pretty fast depending on how much you put on) wait for the tacky texture and then you can apply the gold leaf. If it's a big stencil I'd use a foam wedge or circle to get the mod podge on quick and even. Smaller stencils, a brush should work just fine. Any touch ups, you can put the stencil back over and fill in the blanks. The gold leaf will blend and it'll look great! I hope this helps! Have fun with it 😁 Thank you for watching my videos ❤ Let me know if you have any other questions. I'm here to help!
