    When using amy type of foil, it helps to use a lot of small pieces vs. one or two larger pieces. And I actually use regular glue and an old blush brush. I think the denser the brush the better, and always swirl in small close circles.
    This is only what I found worked for me…to each their own.

    The gold leaf glue is supposed to dry 30-60 minutes before you add the gold leaf. At least that’s how it works when you use a gold leaf adhesive. It has to become tacky first. I mean this is a 5 below kit so very possible it’s not the right glue lol

    Thank you for reviewing these items. I'm not much into marbling and foiling so I wasn't interested in the kits when I saw them here at our 5 Below. You just confirmed that it was a great move I didn't buy them. Although the stencils in the foil kit are way worth the $5.00.
    Thanks again. Blessings 🤗🌹

    Loved the foil! The pour, well, I really think the kit was crappy. Even if the paint wasn't gloppy, there wasn't enough of the other liquid to make it thin enough to pour. (Though I did like you pushing it around 😂)

Why even put the pen in there? Do you know why??? For our learning, maybe, but, definitely, for our entertainment. 😂 😂 You cracked me up with that pen.
