IOD Papillon Gilded Foil Transfer Pad
Add a lustrous gold and silver finish to furniture and decorative crafts with the Papillon Gilded Foil Transfer Pad from Iron Orchid Designs. Inspired by 19th-century publishing ephemera, this collection brings together bookplate logos, ornate motifs, labels, typography and birdcage illustrations.
Imagine a painted keepsake box finished with an elegant metallic label, or a decorative tray with a birdcage as its focal point. Eight 8" x 12" sheets offer details for subtle gilded accents as well as more elaborate compositions.
Vintage artwork with metallic character
Papillon combines refined ornamentation with playful birdcage designs. Pair the birdcages with floral collections such as IOD Madeleine for mixed-style compositions that bring together botanical detail and metallic shine.
Ideas for your next project
- Decorate book covers and journals with bookplate-style logos and typography.
- Add ornate labels to painted keepsake boxes.
- Create a decorative tray with a birdcage focal design.
- Combine metallic motifs and florals in mixed-media wall art.
- Bring gilded accents to upcycled furniture doors or drawer fronts.
Prepare your surface
Keep the transfer on its backing sheet until you are ready to apply it. Start with a clean, dust-free matte surface, ensuring any paint has fully cured. Seal your project with a water-based sealer before application and allow it to dry. Handle gently and keep the adhesive side away from other surfaces and from itself.
Apply and finish
Remove the backing and position your design, using low-tack tape to hold it in place if needed. Rub with the plastic application tool provided to release the design onto your surface. If a section has not adhered, carefully return the carrier to position and rub again.
Gently burnish with a lint-free cloth or the backing paper, then seal with a good-quality water-based sealer, following the product's instructions. Store unused transfers away from humidity and extreme temperatures.
