Are you loving these monthly Easy Art posts as much as I am?! Throughout the month, I find myself thinking about what fun art work I can make and share. Each month I am so excited but this month might be one of my favorite pieces of art to date. Today, I am sharing how to make this stunningly simple Gold Foil Doily Art.
What are the Supplies for the Gold Foil Doily Art?
Medium sized Doily
Sponge Brush
Gold Leaf, 18 Sheet Pack
Metal Leaf Adhesive
Sheet of paper
How do you make art with Doilies?
First, lightly draw a square with a pencil on your paper to help denote the area you are working within. Place your doily in one of the corners of that artwork area.
Next, get out your Metal Leaf Adhesive.
Apply a generous layer over the doily corner. (I highlighted in peach the area I applied my adhesive.) Note: Do not go over and over attempting to get a smooth coat. It’s better to apply nice and thick and then immediately remove the doily.
Last, set your sheet of gold foil over the adhesive and allow to dry per the directions on your adhesive.
After the adhesive has adequately dried, I used a clean (and dry) sponge brush to wipe away the excess gold foil.
The result is this lovely doily art print.
I made two of these prints and framed them in white rectangular frames I had bought a few years ago from Target.

I love the simplicity of these Gold Foil Doily Art! Now my mind is burst with ideas of all the things I could use in a similar stamping gold foil process. Do you see why this is my favorite Easy Art Work post to date?

Beautiful and creative, as always! I wanted to let you know that I’m featuring this post tonight at the Create & Share Link Party (7:00 PM MST)! Congratulations!!! Can’t wait to see what you share with us this week. 🙂
Aw, thanks girl! I always love your party!
This is stunning, Amy! I love doilies. This gave me an idea for my own project. Thank you for the inspiration!
Oh yay, so glad to be an inspiration for another idea!! Good luck.
Wow I really love this! It caught my eye right away since I’m a huge fan of everything gold! (pair it with white and I’m happy!) Pinning it for sure!
Thanks, Ntina! I had such fun making these, too.
I love this. My dd wants to redo her room and this is her color story. I think we’ll have to try this.
Ah, how fun! You’ll have to send me pictures how it turns out.
This is so lovely, Amy! Easy Art projects are some of my faves 🙂

Yes, it’s hard to tell at first but that gold foil really gives it some sparkle!
How cute! I need to get full gold foil sheets. I only have it in pieces and it’s a nightmare to work with
Oh yes, Tan! The options are endless with the full sheets!!
