Nice alternative to goldleaf
This is not real gold leaf, but it’s a really nice alternative. I use this on some of my paintings and it has the look Of gold leaf, but without the high price tag. I have only use it in paintings, but I am pleased with andhesion application, it was a very easy process.

As a total newbie to gold leaf, it seems to work as well as I should expect
For full transparency, let me start off by admitting I have no real idea what I'm doing with gold leaf. I'm a maker, I love trying new things, and I wanted to give this technique a shot. I watched a few DIY videos but mainly went in without any prior experience or knowledge just to see what I could do. I make a lot of 3D prints, and I thought adding gold leaf could be an interesting new finishing technique for some of my prints. My results were far from perfect, but I think the leaf did its job well, and the imperfections were mainly due to my own mistakes and challenges of trying to combine gold leaf + plastic 3D prints.The technique I tried to use was applying white glue to the object and letting it dry until it was tacky. Then I applied the gold leaf and "brushed" it on and into nooks and crannies. Like other leafs that I have seen in videos, this has some structure to it, but will tear apart when it feels enough tension. This review isn't meant to be a tutorial, but for those who are interested, if I were to attempt this again, I would use a spray adhesive (or something less goopy than white glue.) I also would not have attempted the entire body at once, and would have worked on one area at a time. Many of the "bald" spots on my print are from either my hands touching and pulling leaf away from the object, or from wet glue pulling leaf away while I was trying to clean up the design.As far as the leaf itself, I had no complaints. The color appeared to be darker than I expected, like rose brass when I took a sheet out, but as I applied it, it really does look like proper gold when its applied well. The sheets are separated individually with paper in between, so they aren't hard to bring out or separate from the pack (although once you get them out of the pack, they might cling to whatever you put them on, so keep those little paper sheets around.) This pack could last you a while, depending on your projects. The cat I worked with was about 2" tall, and I used about 1.5 sheets out of the 100 in the pack.I don't know a lot about gold leaf, but in my experience, this seemed to perform as well as any videos I watched, and the results of my test give me confidence that I could make a better finished product with some experience and experimentation, and I would have no problem continuing to work with these sheets in that process.

Great for DIY Projects
I ordered this for a few DIY projects around the house. I am new at gold leafing and have been looking to gold leaf some plastic coins for a western themed party. This is a good deal on the 100 sheets you get and the quality for the price is great. It's versatile and can be used on jewelry, rocks, finger nails, furniture, and toys. It is really and very fragile. I used modge podge to get the leaf to stick to the coins and sprayed them with a clear gloss coating to help the leafing last long. The gold shine and color makes the plastic coins look like we discovered them in a treasure chest. This is cheaper alternative to the real thing and I am pleased with the final results.

Great Gold Leaf
I have been in the process of re-leafing some antique picture frames and this stuff is fabulous. It gets into all the nooks and crannies and adheres very well to all of the surfaces. I save the leftovers for any art craft project that I can use gold in like a liquid resin project. All around great product. It doesn't take much for your project to look like a million bucks.

Nice foil
Works as described and gives a nice touch to craft projects. Easy to apply. Super sheen and shiney! Nice quantity for the price. The sheets are a nice size as well. Love that the bag is resealable so nothing can get ruined or wasted. Makes craft projects shine!

Makes your art pop!
Okay, so this is a bit messy, but I LOVE it! Do I have gold leaf all over my workspace now? Yes, but this stuff is so fun to work with and it really makes your projects shine...both metaphorically and physically. These are fold leaf sheets, which are newer to me as previously I used gold leaf transfers where you rub it on rather than set it and brush it. So there was learning curve for me. You need to make sure you have a good sticky medium for the gold leaf to cling to, honestly I tried both tacky glue and a glues stick and both worked fine for me. This is not SUPER forgiving, so make sure you readied your area you wanted to set it and gently place the gold leaf ONLY when you are ready. I am so happy with the results, and I used less than I thought. It does fall apart really easily so be warned if you are new to gold leaf, but for me, this is now a must for my art tool box and the price is amazing!

Fancy!
Great quality gold leaf for any project that needs it. Crafted well and easy to use. I used these recently to add a bit of sparkle to the cake I made. These are very simple but they give such an elegant feel.

Beautiful gold leaf
This is a great deal on 100 sheets of quality gold leaf. It's versatile so you can use it on jewelry, rocks, your nails, furniture, you name it. It is a very thin gold leaf & pretty fragile so if you're new to it, it might not be easy to use at first. But once you figure out how to handle it, it will adhere nicely & look great.

Quality gold leaf for artists, crafters, furniture refinishers, great value for 100 sheets
I don’t use gold leaf as often as other people might, I usually buy it individually or in a smaller pack as needed, but this “Wadities Imitation Gold Leaf Sheets - 100 Gold Foil Sheets - 14 x 14 cm Multipurpose Gold Leaf for Nail, Art & DIY ProjectS” is a great value for 100 sheets. (~$11/100 pack at time of review)There are so many uses for gold foil that can add an elegant touch or bring a project to the next level. I’m not an expert on gold leaf, but I feel the result I got from this pack is a very nice elegant gold. The quality seem pretty typical, it’s hard to work with! But that’s typical Having an entire pack of 100 sheets at your disposal takes the pressure off trying to make it perfect the first time. It’s worth noting that your results will be affected by the brush you use, if you expect to use it a lot, I would say it’s worth investing in the right brush.This gold leaf is no more difficult or easy to work with than any other I’ve seen and tried, it has the same nice effect, I’m very happy with the results.A note about the cancer warning - this is a labelling requirement for products sold in California, where there is a different threshold for warning labelling. This doesn’t mean that it’s completely unsafe, many similarly labelled products are fairly benign for the average person, but there are people with specific health concerns that should be aware and protect themselves accordingly. In Canada, our products are packaged for Canadians and we rarely see this warning on our packaging, so this cancer warning isn’t as scary as it might seem.

Excellent value - looks like gold
I think this faux gold leaf is very effective, it's very shiny and a luscious deep gold colour. The sheets come in a box and are packed with paper separators so you can take one sheet out on it's paper and then apply it to your chosen work. The process is fairly simple but the sheets are extremely fragile, it takes some practice to get the gold onto the object. If you crumple the sheets it does disintegrate into very fine bits which are difficult to pick up or clean off.I'm not sure what this is made of, it says copper, but the box contains a warning label which says the product can expose you to a chemical.... etc but doesn't say what chemical. A little concerning perhaps but it's not edible and is only meant for application to objects which should be sealed with a lacquer coating, in which case you shouldn't be exposed to what ever it is.

Beautiful Gold Leaf Results On My Rock Art Test.✅ Accurate Gold Colour.✅ Fun To Use.✅
The media could not be loaded. As an artist I love exploring different techniques and one of those is adding gold foil to my paintings using gilding paste and gold leaf sheets like this. I’ve also used these sheets on polymer clay and resin for jewelry making. It’s looks pretty when you have completed your works of art, but it can be difficult to work with sometimes. ✅WHAT I LIKE: ▪️You get 100 sheets. This is a nice amount when considering that it can be difficult to work with sometimes and it is easy to ruin a sheet if you’re not careful. ▪️The colour is wonderful and looks like real gold. ▪️Adds a touch of elegance to your art. It’s worth the effort even though it tries to float away. ▪️Thin and applies beautifully. ❌WHAT I DON’T LIKE: ▪️If you have used gold foil before than you already know how tricky it can be to handle sometimes. The foil is so fragile it rips easily and sticks to everything. Don’t even get me started when it develops static and going in places you don’t want it. Patience is needed when working with it! A lot of patience! 😅 This is typical for all leaf sheets I have experienced. Oddly enough, I still enjoy the process very much because it is so satisfying when you brush the gold away to reveal the results.😍 ▪️This is ‘t a deal breaker, but I wish the sheets came in different wrapping that is reusable. I don’t like having to put in back into the box loose and letting the air get to it as I fear it could change colours over time. 🦋OVERALL:Even though gold leaf can be tricky to work with sometimes, I still love the stuff. When you have the right tools it makes the process easier. A brush and tweezers are must haves when applying it. Sometimes I’m a rebel and use my fingers which can lead to it sticking to them.🤭 I would recommend this foil to other artists and crafters. It’s so much fun and gives your work a unique look that is just beautiful and elegant.
