make your own rub ons

Sep 08, 2004 5 Replies

Rub on's have become so popular. I really enjoy using them, but find they limit me on the size and style. So after chatting with some other scrappers I found that you could make your own using transparencies. I was told by several in the group that some don't use transparencies due to cost. So I've been searching for a cheaper method. And this weekend I found it right under my nose! So I thought I would share.



I used my CK fonts and printed out a title, flipped it for a mirror image then printed it out on studio paper. Layed it onto the cardstock and rubbed away. The image transfered beautifully. And I did it in green ink.



Studio paper is used for mica transfers too.



It can be found at

10 sheets for 2.99 , and it's reusable, just wipe off any ink residue. So get together with some friends and share a package. And as I stated it's also used in transferring images to mica!

Sounds like a cool idea. What is studio paper and where can you get it?

You can get the paper at Staples or an art store that sells painting supplies

Thanks, I'll have to check it out.
