Keep Smiling Silver Leaves, 25 Leaves

A pack of 25 silver leaf sheets for adding a gilded metallic finish to craft, decor and art projects.

• Pack of 25 individual silver leaf sheets
• From Keep Smiling, whose matching gold leaf packs are sold by the same size and count
• Suited to gilding, decor accents, resin art and mixed-media craft surfaces
• Apply with adhesive size or gilding glue for a smooth metallic finish
• Delicate sheets that should be handled with dry hands or tweezers

Metallic leaf sheets like these are used to gild picture frames, decor pieces, greeting cards and resin art with a genuine sheet-metal shimmer rather than a painted-on effect. Because the leaves are extremely thin, they lift and settle onto an adhesive-prepped surface with light pressure from a soft brush, giving a smooth, reflective silver finish. This pack pairs well with the brand's matching gold leaf sheets for crafters who want to mix both metallic tones in one project.

To gild with leaf sheets, a thin layer of gilding adhesive or size is applied to the surface first and left to reach the correct tack before the leaf is laid down and smoothed with a soft brush, then any excess is brushed away to reveal a clean metallic edge. Because the sheets are so thin, working in a still room away from direct fans or open windows keeps them from tearing or blowing away mid-project. This makes the pack a useful staple for festival decor, Diwali crafts, greeting cards and resin art alike, and having 25 sheets on hand is generally enough for several small to medium-sized pieces before needing to restock.
