I like to customize my projects as much as possible.
Yes, I love ready-made products because they are beautiful, easy to use and many other reasons that you and I already tell ourselves when we are in a craft store and tempted to buy a product.
But, if you want to create your own rub-on of any thing, such as alphabets, clip art and even photographs, use this very easy method:
- Create or open a design using the software of your preference (even Word can be used.)
- If you are going to print text, make sure that you change to a Mirror image (that is an option for other types of images.)
- Set your printer to print using the setup for best quality.
- Instead of regular paper, use a page protector or transparency sheet, If using a transparency, print on the shiny side. Remember, you want the printing surface very slick, so the ink doesn’t get absorbed by it, but left on the surface.
- Print. Let dry. You can look at it but don’t touch it until well dried. It’s going to take 5 to 10 minutes.
- Now your rub-on is ready to use just like any store bought rub-on. Position the printed side on the desired surface and, using a stick, rub over the design.
- Wonderful! You did it by yourself without using any brain-damaging product or spending much money. And best of all, you can reuse the same page protector for another project.
