Materials
Step 1
First, remove all of your packaging from your frames.
Step 2
Next, take your frames apart. Keep like elements together for convenience later.
Step 3
Now, lay your glass inserts on a protected surface such as a non-stick mat or napkin.
Step 4
Next carefully brush foiling adhesive on your glass inserts at random.
Tip:
- You don’t want to cover the entire panes in adhesive.
Step 5
Let your adhesive dry until tacky.
Step 6
After your adhesive is tacky, cover each pane with foil.
Step 7
Carefully and gently brush the excess foil off of the glass panes.
Step 8
Set your glass panes aside.
Step 9
On your frames, paint the silver inlay with gold enamel paint.
Tip:
- If you don’t trust yourself to stay on the inlay with your paint, tape the black areas of your frame with masking tape.
Step 10
Now set your frames aside to dry.
Step 11
Next, seal the foil on your frames with the sealant included in your kit. Let the sealer fry completely.
Step 12
After the sealer has dried, re-assemble your frames with only the glass inserts.
Step 13
Glue your frames together starting with attaching one frame to either side of the first.
Step 14
Finish attaching your frames by gluing your final frame on.
Step 15
Lastly, add your pillar candle to the center of your luminary.
