Quick and easy, a rub on or decal can make a great embellishment
to a scrapbook page, card or collage.
Supplies Needed
Paper or Other Surface
Rub On or Transfer
Burnishing Tool
Step-by-Step
- Make sure you start with a clean surface, clean burnishing tool and clean hands.
- If necessary trim excess from around the design you want to transfer.
- Place your design face down on the surface you wish to apply it.
- Begin to rub the transfer. Start by rubbing down the edges of the design. Rub gently and firmly. When you think you have rubbed the entire surface of the design, slowly lift from one corner to make sure you got the entire design. Donβt worry if you miss transferring a piece of the design, lay the transfer back down and rub again.
- Most rub ons and transfers come with a paper backing. Remove the transfer backing and place the paper backing over the design. Rub gently with your fingers to seal the bond of the rub on.
- In most cases you can seal the rub on or transfer with a spray sealer or protective coat of finish. Read rub on or transfer packaging for instructions.
