Turn your cylinder candle holders upside so the bottom is facing up. Using your metal leaf adhesive, apply glue to the entire perimeter of the glass.
Allow the glue to dry for 30 minutes, until it becomes tacky to the touch.
Once the glue was tacky, it’s time to apply the gold foil sheets. I found it the easiest to lay the sheets of foil down and roll the glass over it.
Using a soft brush, gently start to brush away the gold foil from areas where there was no glue applied. Be sure to put something under your project for this part, as the gold leaf is very thin and likes to fly all around!
Once you have brushed away all the excess gold leaf, you are left with the most lovely patterns on the candle holders!
