With these tips, your DIY will be a success:

Preparation

You have everything you need? Then get started!

Tip 1

The object you want to stick on has curves? Then it’s best to apply the foil all around, piece by piece, peeling the backing paper off the foil just a little at a time, applying it and then pressing it down firmly with the smoothing blade.

Tip 2

Easy corner work – so that the edges, e.g. notepad holder, become beautiful: Cut the excess foil at the corners with scissors and then fold the foil over.
