Expert Tip

Apply the gold foil in small sections at a time. This will allow for better control and prevent the foil from wrinkling. A tackier base (like nail glue) provides a better surface for foil to stick to.

What if I don't have gold foil?

You can substitute with gold glitter or gold chrome powder for a similar effect.
