Another Daily Awesome - Gold Leaf

So, what's going on here? Well, I've made some of my cardboard designs more awesome by applying gold leaf! It was easy enough to follow the instructions on the package. 
Here are some boring bits, waiting for something to make them more interesting. They've been coated with sealant. 

That's a sheet of gold on the left. The earrings on the right are all prepped with sealant and adhesive. 

The earrings on the left are adhering to the gold. on the right are the stages of buffing the leaf onto the surface with the brush. The tough part is getting it to clear from the holes.

Here they are with fully applied leaf!

These are the finished product with sealant and findings. 

Please let me know if you are interested in any of these or a custom product. I'm also happy to share any knowledge on applying gold leaf.
