Decide on your color scheme, and start painting your pots. Mine took between 2-3 coats each, depending on the color. Once done, you'll have these pretties . . .
First, put your Mod Podge on your planter using your foam brush. Lay your gilding sheet on top of your Mod Podge, press firmly, and let dry (30 minutes or so).
Carefully remove your gilding sheet, brush off the excess gilding material, and, if desired, seal with a clear acrylic sealer to set. I love the rustic edges and abstract shapes . . . but you can make yours have cleaner edges if you desire!
