Pébéo Deco gilding flakes 1.5 g

Metal accents for cards and decoration

Give a card, picture frame or decorative object shiny, irregular metal accents with Pébéo Deco gilding flakes. Place a few flakes for small details or overlap them to cover a larger motif. You receive one box containing 1.5 g of loose flakes in your selected finish.

Choose your finish

Gold gives a warm golden shine, silver a cooler accent and copper a reddish metallic tone. Red brown is the darker, variegated choice. The colour names describe the effect; this is not a four-colour set. Water-based gilding adhesive, a soft brush and protective varnish are needed separately.

Apply with gilding adhesive

Work on a clean, dry surface such as wood, metal, paper, cardboard, plaster or glass. Test your surface, adhesive and varnish together on a small area first. Apply Pébéo Deco mixtion where you want the flakes to stick. Wait until the adhesive feels tacky, usually about 10 to 15 minutes; follow the instructions for the adhesive you use.

Gently lay the flakes onto the tacky adhesive and smooth them with a very soft brush. Build larger motifs in small successive sections so the adhesive has not dried before you place the flakes. Protect the finished decoration with a suitable varnish against oxidation of the metal.

Safe use

Wear gloves when handling the flakes, as recommended on the packaging. Work away from draughts to keep the light flakes in place. Also follow the separate adhesive and varnish instructions.
