With these tips, your DIY will be a success:
Preparation
You have everything you need? Then get started!
Tip 1
The object you want to stick on has curves? Then it’s best to apply the foil all around, piece by piece, peeling the backing paper off the foil just a little at a time, applying it and then pressing it down firmly with the smoothing blade.
Tip 2
Easy corner work – so that the edges, e.g. notepad holder, become beautiful: Cut the excess foil at the corners with scissors and then fold the foil over.
Tip 3
Any excess foil on the drawers of the mini chest of drawers can be easily trimmed off using the utility knife.
You’re done!

EXPERT ADVICE
Small air pockets can form, especially when covering larger surfaces – such as the top and side surfaces here. You can puncture these bubbles with a fine needle and then carefully smooth them out with the squeegee.
