How Does Crafting with Foil Work?
You want to foil all the things. What next? Not all foil is created equally. It's important to know about the different types of foil and how they work, especially so you don't end up buying a foil that is incompatible with how you intend to use it.
- Heat Foil: Turn up the heat to work with this style of foil! A significant heat source is required to transfer the shiny foil onto your project. These include Glimmer Hot Foil System by Spellbinders
- Reactive Transfer Foil: Using heat with the addition of a reactive agent such as specialized transfer gel, transfer paint, or ink toner, you can transfer foil onto your project. This type of foil is generally used with a heat laminator or MINC machine and includes Heidi Swapp MINC Reactive Foil, Therm O Web iCraft Deco Foil Transfer Sheets, and Gina K Therm O Web Fancy Foils.
- Adhesive Foil: With the use of liquid or sheet adhesive, the foil transfers onto the tacky surface in the shape or design of the adhesive. These types of foils include Prima's Rub On Foil Sheets and Dress My Craft Reactive Foil.
