How to gold foil with Cricut?

Use gold foil with the system made for that process. Craft foil, hot foil, decorative foil, and genuine leaf are different products.

Gold foil with Cricut is a craft-transfer workflow, not the same as traditional gold leaf gilding.

Use foil and tools intended for the Cricut process, and follow the machine’s pressure, mat, and material requirements. Traditional gold leaf is too delicate for many craft-transfer workflows and is usually applied by hand with size.

If you want a real gold leaf finish rather than a craft foil effect, use gilding size, leaf, and surface preparation instead of treating the Cricut foil system as a substitute.

Foils   •   Glossary   •   Gold Gourmet   •   Gold leaf   •   Metal leaf

Foil is not automatically gold leaf, silver leaf, real precious metal, or edible. The correct product depends on whether the use is decorative foil, edible foil, craft foil, or genuine leaf.

SeppLeaf foils are thicker, heavier materials for applications such as hot glass, bead making, and specialty decorative use. Thin traditional gilded surfaces usually use genuine gold or silver leaf.

Food decoration requires edible Gold Gourmet products. Lower-cost decorative gold effects usually use metal leaf.
