Answering a question about the Wheat Chrismon

The Wheat is a design I think from 2007. When I wanted to make a few more ornaments some time ago I realized that I did not have any more of the gold foil. I had ordered the first roll from the Internet and it was not available any longer. Yes, you will find that also happenes sometimes with the special size pearls or beads.

I searched in local craft stores too and finally decided on Plan-B. Craft store Michaels had a roll of this:



I cut a strip off a little wider then the leaf should be high. Peel the adhesive paper off and fold the strip double on itself. The white sides are now sticking to each other and you have gold on both sides. Cut like the directions say.
