Hey gang! Here’s another fun use for your gold leaf supplies. We still have a few blank spots on our walls and I wanted to DIY something simple but cool, so this is what we came up with. We had all of the supplies, so it didn’t cost a cent! If you’ve got your gold leaf materials and some old frames laying around, you can do it too.

Materials

Make Time: 5 Minutes per Frame

Step 1: Use a paintbrush to splatter or drip gold leaf adhesive on a piece of cardstock.

Step 2: Allow the adhesive to dry for a minute or so, until the adhesive is tacky but not wet. If you have lots of adhesive pooling, gently dab it with a tissue to soak up a little excess. Be careful not to smudge the glue. Place gold leaf over all of the adhesive and smooth it down with a soft, dry paintbrush to be sure it adheres.

Step 3: Use a stiff paintbrush to buff off the excess gold leaf.

Step 4: Place the finished product in a frame and hang it up!

Love how these look all hung up together. I feel like this technique would be SUPER cool on a large-scale canvas, hanging over a mantle or something. Would you try it?  xoxo

  1. Large scale canvas would definitely look cool.
    I like the choice of colors for the card stock!
    I wonder if it would look too strong with black frames instead of white?

    1. I think black frames would look cool especially using a less bright/more monochromatic palette. I’ll give it a try and get back to you! ? xo

  3. Hi! This is super awesome and looks so professional and fun. I am thinking of doing something DIY for a really large wall above my long sectional couch.

    How would you do this on a large canvas? Would you recommend painting the canvas (or maybe 3 canvases) first, letting it dry then doing the gold leaf application?

    Thanks for your help!

    1. Hi Val! If you’re looking to create a background color, definitely feel free to paint the background first — I think that could be really great on a large canvas!
