I bought this for my first gold leafing project--a Christmas gift for my cousin. All items were included, however the package arrived very damaged and without instructions. I reached out to amazon about receiving a digital instruction booklet, but did not hear back. However, I followed multiple YouTube tutorials and tried my hand at adding gold leaf to a porcelain project and the results were pretty good. I did have some issue with oxidization and some of the leading turned green (after I applied the top coat) because this leafing is an alloy--not pure gold.
