Summer is here, and it's the perfect time to elevate your entertaining game with a touch of summer gold. Whether you're hosting a garden party or celebrating a big birthday, these gilding flakes wine glasses can add a touch of luxury to any occasion. And with a wide array of gilding flakes colours to choose from, you can add a metallic shine that suits any party theme!
Here’s what you’ll need:
1. Clean the glass to make sure it's free of any oils or fingerprints.
2. Using a paint brush, apply a thin layer of the liquid glue to the areas you want to gild.
3. Wait for the glue dry slightly, until it becomes tacky.
4. Place the gilding flakes onto the tacky glue. Use the sponge to gently press the flakes into place and brush away any excess.
5. If desired, apply a clear sealer like Mod Podge to protect the gilded design, making it dishwasher friendly!
