ABSTRACT:
A method of transferring metal leaf, such as gold leaf, to a substrate is disclosed. The method includes the steps of creating a transfer graphic design. After the transfer graphic design is created, a pressure sensitive adhesive design in the shape of the transfer graphic design is formed on a transfer sheet having paper backing and a release layer. The transfer sheet may be a dry transfer sheet or a water release decal type transfer sheet. The transfer sheet containing the pressure sensitive adhesive design is then placed on a substrate to which the pressure sensitive adhesive design is transferred by removing the transfer sheet so that the pressure sensitive adhesive design adheres to the substrate. Metal leaf is then applied to the pressure sensitive adhesive design.
