It helps to decant the gilding flakes into another container, deep and wide enough so that you can cover the item without the flakes going everywhere. Even a ziplock bag, or something similar works too. Placing a large piece of paper underneath when working, so that you can clean up more easily, lift the paper and tip the loose flakes back in the box x

Amazing. For years ive seen this in the crafting section and has NO clue why i would want to buy it. Now i do!!!

[lindakf]

Great video! Your moderation was perfect, no background noise, helpful techniques, and links for everything. Wish there were more like you on YouTube. Thank you for sharing.

Your laugh is what I enjoyed the most, but the video was pretty awesome too

[greeneyes]

She did a very good job of explaining and gave me info to new products. Don't know why anyone would give her a down thumb. Maybe jealous of how good she does

[gebswife]

You make me want to go around my home, with a wand, and point at items and say, “You’re guilded.”

Thank you for sharing your easy to follow instructions.
Gorgeous results!

[carlaallen]

thank you for your ideas, it really helped me. And yes, I was the one with the fan on while opening my nuvo gold gilding that started to fly everywhere. The good news is where it landed made that area really pretty. The bad news is where is landed made it challenging to clean up! LOL Lessons learned!

[crystalbewriting]

One of the best videos I've seen on ANYTHING. Thank you!

[lindaholt]

This tutorial is amazing to me. I have been trying to get these types of flakes to work for me for years now, and I generally get glue everywhere and gilding more on me and my surfaces rather than on my project. These have been in my purge pile b/c they were frustrating to me. I will give these ideas a try. Maybe the glue pen will be the trick! I also love your cleaning tips of the adhesive eraser or the blending brush. Water? Magic! The stick EP people have kept this secret WAY too long!

[katiebw]

Kari, thanks for sharing these techniques. Brushing on water before heat embossing was a new one to me. Brilliant idea!

[emlo]

I can’t afford a hot foil or die cut machine. I learned I can use die cuts with a rolling pin, but couldn’t find one video showing foil without a machine. This is amazing!! Glue, tacky tape and foil! Amazing!

[lindafieldsstudio]

Thank you for this video! Because of you, I don't have to make an extra trip to Michael's! I have water, I have sticky embossing powder, I have the flakes and even that brush! I just wanted to add some gilding as part of my backdrop in just a few places. This is perfect! Thank you so much! ❤

[nanspier]

Definitely did not know embossing powder sticks to water! Wow! Opens up a whole new world. Thank you for these great tips.

[snapsnap]

This demo has made my day! So good. I will be making use of my gilding flakes and sticky embossing powder now. I have been neglecting them for lack of inspiration, not any more. Thanks!

[gazellep]

You are seriously a sunshine, I caught such a wonderful mood watching this video, and I am PMSing hard today 😂 thank you 💜

[aprildomer]

Hi there! Great techniques, thanks so much! Your enthusiasm is infectious and I had so much fun listening to you get so excited that it was truly inspiring. Now... you’ve gotta try the many OTHER colors of leafing. I bought some on Amazon ( pinks, blues, lavender etc) and thought I’d lose my mind, I had so much fun! I started gilding EVERYTHING, rocks, Sculpy clay, old costume jewelry. (This vid is a year old so you may have already discovered them) I hope you’re still having fun and discovering new things to gild!
Thanks again!😊xo

Why on earth would somebody hit the thumbs down???? This was very informative, entertaining and one of the nicest art videos I have seen.

[idalynnporter]

Most helpful of all the videos I've watched today for Some upcoming orojects. Glad to see someone saving the excess od gilding and re

[doloresshuster]

I love this, my friend just gave me 3 large cans of guilding flakes that I wasn’t sure how to use them. Thank you.

[t.s]

Thank you for your video. My cards using flakes never seem come out right, but I appreciate your instruction on how to use them. Definitely going to give your techniques a try.
