How Does Crafting with Foil Work?

I saw a couple of instagram reels showing the results and did a bit of research. I watched a few youtube videos LIKE THIS ONE,https://youtu.be/5gpUS2R-VBc?si=mvGBEW_TiupkZX3e and also found THIS ARTICLE. https://www.scrapbook.com/articles/crafting-with-foil

I have used 'Reactive tranfer foil', becuase I didnt want to spend a lot of money on somewhat speacilized equipment/ chemical/ adhesives. This type of foil can react with laser printer toner, and when I figured out that the space already had a Laser printer and a laminator it made this fun craft more accessible.

I bought a foil multipack on amazon that seems to work okay, at least in the first test or two. which you can see for yourself in the picture and video below.

-* '''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.
