What is it about gold that makes whatever it touches look extra fancy? I have been on a "gold kick" lately as everyone saw with the #loveyourhome post I did with Porch.com. I wanted to add a little more gold to my desk area so I thought about doing a gold vase. Gold paint wouldn't do the job...I found that out the hard way when I tried painting mason jars one time. To make a long story somewhat shorter I spend too much time at the craft supply and decided I would experiment with gold foil. I'm completely obsessed and now I want to put gold foil on everything I own. It has such an interesting look because it's fancy, but it's also vintage and rustic. I did all this research on how to do it and I will tell you that I saw SO MANY different ways to go about putting gold foil on a number of different items. I got a kit and decided to wing it. This was super easy and really fun. It's simply putting on the adhesive, carefully attaching the gold, and then sealing it once it dries. The cool thing about it is that it's not perfect, pieces fall off, and the gold will fold and crinkle. That's what makes it so unique! I happen to like the broken vintage look, but if you want it completely covered you can just continue to apply more gold overtop of the open pieces. This is the beginning of a lot of gold foiling...
