How to Apply Tamisé Leaf Decorative Metal Flakes

Create shimmering decorative effects on ceilings, walls, furniture, frames, and objects. Blend and intermix colors to design custom finishes with depth, movement, and light.

Tamisé metal flakes add a dynamic, light-catching surface unlike traditional leafing. Composed of small, irregularly shaped fragments, these decorative flakes create a lively, textured finish that reflects light from multiple angles—producing a sparkling, almost kaleidoscopic effect ideal for artistic and architectural surfaces.

Made from a curated mix of metal leaf materials—including imitation gold, aluminum, copper, and variegated leaf combinations—Tamisé flakes offer a broad, vibrant color range for creative exploration. Colors can be applied individually or blended together to produce custom tones, highlights, and visual depth that evolve with lighting conditions.

Perfect for decorative plaster finishes, painted surfaces, murals, ceilings, feature walls, furniture accents, frames, and mixed-media artwork, Tamisé flakes are easy to apply using standard water-based or oil-based sizing systems. They can be dusted, sprinkled, or selectively placed for anything from subtle sparkle to bold, dramatic metallic statements.

Each color assortment is packaged in a clear, reusable box measuring 4 ½" × 3" × 2", allowing for easy color identification and storage. The reverse of each box includes simple application instructions.

Coverage: Approximately 3 square feet per 5-gram box, depending on application density and surface texture.
