Hey y'all!

I own got a quick in addition to slow DIY gilded foliage epitome for you today! It took me less than one-half an hr to make, in addition to along the agency I discovered some gilded pigment that genuinely looks similar existent gilded foliage (without all of the hassle of applying existent gilded leaf).
Because amongst a half dozen calendar month sometime baby, I own got unopen to iii seconds to pursue anything creative. So, similar who has fourth dimension for hard things.

Here's a close-up of my latest gilded foliage epitome (and in all probability my easiest fine art projection to date).

I genuinely made this for my percentage that I'm currently re-doing, but it's all the same inward progress, in addition to therefore I decided to hang it inward the dining room for a lilliputian while.

So, here's a quick tutorial.

I started amongst a foursquare canvas, added a lilliputian frame that I spray painted silver.

Then, I taped a stencil to the canvas. This is i of my favorite stencils that I've used several times straightaway (you tin nation yesteryear the layers of pinkish in addition to white pigment all over it). I can't honor the exact stencil I bought, but this link volition accept you to i that's nearly identical.

I gooped it on pretty thick, too, but because I liked how it looked.

The gilded foliage pigment I used was called Precious Metals in

18 kt Gold (affiliate link). It comes inward a tiny lilliputian container, but a lilliputian goes a long way. And it's amazing.

Once you are done applying the paint, but withdraw the stencil in addition to allow it dry.

And that's all in that place is to it!
