Faux Gold Leaf with Duck Tape® {How-To}

This post brought to you by Duck Brand®. All opinions are 100% mine.

I recently teamed up with Duck® Brand and their Duck® the halls challenge. They sent me a box loaded with Duck Tape®  and the challenge was to use it in a creative way. 

Enter the white elephant gift we were so lucky to recieve last year… (yes last year I liked it enough to hold on to it My Husband loved this little guy, he thought it was awesome and he knew we could turn it into something great. However a year went by, and we couldn’t quite figure out what we wanted to do with the Paper Mache deer. (with broken antler) 

Then I got the box full of goodies from Duck® Brand and even though they have tons of fun prints, bright colors and darling tape… the shiny Gold was calling out to me. I looked at the gold, I looked at the deer and I realized it was fate. The tape would not only fix his poor broken antler but it would look like it was gold leafed… only much cheaper

Then simply tearing off small pieces of Duck® Brand gold tape I smoothed it onto the deer. I wrapped carefully around the antlers and used the tape to secure the antler and of course make him gold and shiny. In about an hour I was done with the whole thing. 

Then the little deer that was once sad and pink and sponge painted was gold and shiny and a perfect addition for our Christmas decor. I love how easy it was to do and I think you could easily use Duck® Brand gold tape to make any object look like it has gold leaf on it.  I can’t wait to use the other more colorful tape to add some fun wrapping to all the boxes I am sending out to family this holiday season. They are great and what a fun way to make a boring brown box look cute!
