How to Decorate Bra Straps With Gold Leaf

Video Preview

Summary: Wearing a strapless bra can be very uncomfortable. Decorated bra straps can be used instead of a strapless bra. Many strapless bras come with vinyl see thru straps. These straps can also be purchased in many department stores for as little as three dollars. The see thru straps give the shoulders a bare look but as the vinyl ages it yellows. This is not a pretty sight. The problem can be solved by applyng gold leaf to the vinyl. Gold leaf bra straps wiil add elegant style to your shoulders and glimmer to your outfit.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Assemble your clear bra straps, gold leaf and clear coat nail polish.

  2. Step 2

    Tear off small pieces of the gold leaf. Apply clear nail polish one small area at a time to the bra strap. Press a small piece of the gold leaf onto the clear nail polish area. Keep doing this step until the bra strap has a shimmering gold nugget like appearance.

  3. Step 3

    Use a top coat of clear nail polish over the gold nugget areas. This protects the gold leaf.
