Colored Foils?

[vtgaryw]

I've just spent 10-15 minutes on the 'net searching for colored metal foils, but didn't really find what I'm looking for. Anyone have a source for (preferably) adhesive backed colored foils?

I've bought some sheets of very thin metalized foils from Michaels in the past, but I'd like something a little thicker.

Thanks,

Gary

Gary, when I want colored foil, I paint the aluminum tape with craft paint. Cooper tape also takes paint pretty well. I do thin coats and wipe off the excess.

I have never seen a source for colored foil tapes. If there are any I would like to hear about them. When members post photos here the metal foils are painted by the artist, based on their description of the piece.

Thanks, I've seen Laser Foil I was wondering if that might work. The stuff I got from Michaels was a transfer foil but it's only .001" thick, this stuff says it's .003" which is more what I had in mind.

I've seen other smaller qtys of Laser Foil (eBay, for example), but they don't list the thickness.

Thanks,

Gary

I glued Origami foil paper to tubes with Elmer's brand spray adhesive. It embosses nicely. I will likely post pictures later. I am still in the 'experimental' stage...

You can try the foil that they use for hot or cold foiling. They come in all colors
