Add a Little Sparkle to your Projects with Deco Foil!

I used the Deco Foil™ Foam Adhesive, it has two sticky sides, peel back one layer and put the Deco Foil down. I used a brayer across the top and it got a little crinkled – I liked that, it gave it a little vintage feel.  If you want a smooth surface simply lay the foil on top, smooth out any bubbles with your hand and remove  the foil.  Grab your punches to make some creative  shapes.

For this card I used acrylic paint on a burlap card and painted a simple tree.

I painted the little tops on the card so I knew where my ornaments would go. For snow I used Snow Tex , just a little right on top of the foil. (I have found that Deco Foil™ does not stop any texture mediums from sticking to the shiny surface.)

Once dry, remove the backing from the ornaments and  add them to your card. I also added these little stars I punched out.

You can imagine all the different ways you can use Deco Foil™ like I did here one these cards. The card on the front has a frame covered in Deco Foil. I used the tape runner to add a little on the edges of the card as well. For that vintage feel don’t worry it’s not perfect!

This is a great way to add a little sparkle in all of your creative adventures!
Happy Crafting!
