It was the late 1990s and faux marbling and sponge painting could not be stopped. I especially loved metal leafing with gold, copper, and silver. Using a simple Ikea dresser, this project showcases both the traditional method of leafing and a new method I developed to get crisp leaf motifs every time.<br \/>Art Deco, an art and design movement that started in France after the Second World War, played with geometric shapes, symmetry, and gold, baby, gold. The motif can be scaled or multiplied to fit any dresser, wall, or even a jewelry box. Gold and metal leaf works on many surfaces, even glass and melamine. Always remember to seal your surface before you begin so the adhesive sizing takes\u2014and to seal it after to protect your work. I like to use large foam brushes to apply sealer and adhesive because these products will ruin your expensive brushes, and the larger brush size facilitates the application process.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b94da49 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b94da49\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-de5d0a3\" data-id=\"de5d0a3\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f5af25 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1f5af25\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>MATERIALS<\/strong><\/p><p><br \/>Damp cloth<br \/>Dresser<br \/>Rag<br \/>2 foam brushes, each 2&#8243; (5cm)<br \/>Gold leaf kit with 25 sheets of leaf, adhesive sizing, brush, and sealer<br \/>Additional gold leaf sheets<br \/>Templates A, B, and C (click <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0B_x76Q8hDPrBS25QbkpKazAxUG8\/view?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0B_x76Q8hDPrBS2wyUGxvZkpfYUk\/view?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a> to download)<br \/>Clear contact paper<br \/>Craft knife<br \/>Cutting mat, cardboard, or chipboard, 20&#8243; \u00d7 18&#8243; (51cm \u00d7 45.5 cm) or larger<br \/>Masking tape<br \/>Tracing paper, 81\u20442&#8243; \u00d7 11&#8243; (21.5cm \u00d7 28cm)<br \/>Fine point permanent marker<br \/>Scissors (optional)<br \/>Flat brush, 1\u20442&#8243; (13mm)<br \/>Mod Podge, Gloss Finish, 16 oz (473mL)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ced6346 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ced6346\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-43df760\" data-id=\"43df760\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-79eed70 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"79eed70\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>TIME: 4 hours<br \/><br \/>LEARN: How to apply gold leafing to surfaces using two techniques<br \/>REMIX: Use these techniques to decorate any wood, glass, or paper item; create a large canvas stamp with this motif<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-925f3f1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"925f3f1\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-739e1f1\" data-id=\"739e1f1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a682c46 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a682c46\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Instructions, Part 1 (Traditional Method)<br \/>We will use this method to cover the entire dresser top. It is best to do this project indoors, where nothing will fall or blow onto the surface as you work.<br \/><br \/>1. Wipe the dresser clean with a damp rag. Any dust will prevent the adhesive from working properly.<br \/><br \/>2. Use a foam brush to apply the adhesive sizing in a thin, even coat to the top surface of the dresser. Allow it to dry for at least 20 minutes, up to one hour, or until sizing is clear and tacky. This time will vary depending on your climate. If you start too soon, the gold leaf will tear and move with the wet sizing.<br \/><br \/>3. Wash and dry your hands immediately before applying leaf because oil, sweat, or residue will make the leaf stick to your hands rather than your work surface. Open to a fresh sheet of gold leaf in the booklet. Place gold leaf facedown on the adhesive surface. Press gently and remove booklet, leaving only the gold leaf.

Remove adhesive backing from a sheet of contact paper and lay it faceup on a table. Press gold leaf sheets onto contact paper. Once you have covered the surface with gold leaf, paint on at least two layers of sealer with a foam brush and set to dry overnight.<br \/><br \/>2. Place gold-leafed contact paper, plastic side up, on a cutting mat about 20&#8243; \u00d7 18&#8243; (51cm \u00d7 45.5cm).<br \/><br \/>3. Trace templates A, B, and C on tracing paper (template C is a mirror image of template B\u2014see pages 148\u201349) and attach the three templates with tape onto the gold-leafed contact paper. Using a craft knife, cut out the three shapes. You may want to use scissors to cut out the circles.<br \/><br \/>4. Lay the dresser on the ground with the drawers facing up. Position the gold-leaf decoupage motif in the center of the top drawer with contact paper side down. Align the straight edge of the motif with the top edge of the top drawer. Apply small pieces of tape to secure the main large motif and the circles in position.<br \/><br \/>5. Lift up portions of the gold-leaf decoupage motif and coat the back with Mod Podge, removing tape as needed. Lay motif back down and smooth with your hands. Wipe up excess Mod Podge with a rag.<br \/><br \/>6. Using a craft knife, cut a centered line between the top and middle drawers. Fold over edges and adhere with Mod Podge.<br \/><br \/>7.
