Transfer leaf is useful for gilding large surface areas, such as walls or a large piece of furniture. It is very lightly adhered to a tissue making it possible to pick up and apply the leaf easily with the tissue uppermost.
Annie Sloan transfer leaf metal is available in books of 25 sheets, enough to cover around 0.49 meters squared (5.27 feet squared). Each sheet is 5.5 inches x 5.5 inches (140mm x 140mm).
Copper leaf is made from copper which tarnishes, so apply a layer of Clear Chalk Paint Wax over your gilded surface to protect it.
