I found some little golden books at goodwill yesterday and I attempted to make my first one last night. I removed the signatures from a Elmo L.G.B. after I took the signatures out. I used a Heat gun to partially remove the gold foil so I could take the staples out. I just didn’t love the look because part of the foil had pulled away from the book when I took out the signatures. I didn’t lift the entire piece of golden foil off, only up to where the staples were. I used art glitter glue to glue it back in place.
