As the name suggests the silver is pressed to a sheet of paper that can be removed from the booklet and allows you to easily transfer it to another surface. The application is simple; place the sheet with the silver facing the item you will be embellishing and gently rub the paper to transfer it from the paper to the new surface. Transfer leaf silver is best used for flat or otherwise smooth surfaces.
Loose leaf silver works much better for uneven surfaces and should especially be chosen when there are cracks or crevices that need to be filled. Loose leaf also produces a much more rustic result. Then, very gently press it onto the surface with the gliders brush. And, voila! What are you planning on using your edible silver foil for? Do you have any other questions we can help answer?
