How to make

Step-1

Paint the top of the letters in the paint colours of your choice.

Step-2

Apply gilding paste to the unpainted parts of the letters and leave to dry for 15 minutes. Tip the gold flakes into a bowl and dip the letters into the flakes, also using your hands to make sure that the flakes completely cover where you have applied the gilding paste.

Step-3

Use a soft brush to brush away the excess flakes. If there are noticeable gaps, apply the gilding paste and more flakes to fill in the gaps.

Step-4

When completely dry, buff with a soft cloth.
