Guess what – I have a video tutorial for you! It’s super short and gives you a great run-down of how this whole process works! Here ya go:

How to use the Minc Foil Machine

If you prefer step-by-step instructions, here you! First up, cut a piece of foil big enough to cover your project:

Then turn on your Minc machine. Don’t panic if you hit the gold button and it doesn’t turn on – check to make sure the main power switch is on in the back:

Then you’ll press the top gold button until it’s at the setting you’d prefer. I set mine to 3, but you can experiment to see what’s best for you.

Open your clear folder, place your project in face-up and then place the foil face-up right over the top of it. Close the folder and feed it through your minc machine with the folded side first. Catch the video to see this in action. Then when it comes up, just lift off the foil and voila! It’s SO cool to see the grand reveal!
