FIMO metal leaf 14 × 14 cm, 10 sheets

Fine metal sheets for shiny details, small areas and crackled metallic effects on modelled work. You receive one pack of 10 sheets measuring 14 × 14 cm in your chosen Gold, Copper or Silver option. This pack contains the metal leaf itself; clay, size, varnish, brush and roller are needed separately.

Choose a colour and technique

Gold gives a warm gold colour, Copper a reddish copper colour and Silver a cool silver colour. Choose one colour for a simple accent or use small pieces for a scattered pattern. FIMO soft can be decorated before hardening. On dried FIMOair or already hardened FIMO shapes, use size for metal leaf and a suitable finishing varnish.

Create a crackled effect on FIMO soft

Carefully lay a piece of metal leaf on a rolled-out sheet of raw FIMO soft and press gently. Roll lightly over it with an acrylic roller or add lines with modelling tools: the metal tears in places to reveal the clay colour. Shape your piece and harden the FIMO soft according to its packaging; this technique uses 30 minutes at 110 °C. Allow to cool completely before applying a suitable FIMO varnish.

Apply to dried or hardened shapes

Let FIMOair air-dry fully first and let oven-hardened shapes cool. Apply FIMO size for metal leaf where you want the metal. Wait until it becomes tacky, approximately 15 minutes for FIMO 8782. Lay on the leaf, dab gently with a soft, dry brush and brush away excess metal. Once dry, finish with a suitable varnish to protect the surface. Make a sample to assess adhesion and sheen first.
