Gold Foil DIY Prints

November 19, 2015 by robincharmagne

Hello there,
Hope everyone is doing great! Have you started Christmas shopping yet? I have started but I am nowhere near finished. I was thinking about gifts for my sister/friend circle and I wanted to do something a little different. Gold foil is all the rage in home decor, stationary and office so I thought it would be fun to make some custom prints. Turns out, it is super easy and doesn’t require a bunch of stuff. Sorry for the slow load, pic heavy! Take a peek!

Viola!

This project was so simple and quick, took 15 minutes from start to finish. A few tips – use a laser printer not an inkjet, card stock works better than regular paper, and feed through the laminator more than once if needed. You can also create cards too!

Are you giving any handmade gifts for this Christmas season?
