Rub On Transfers for Scrapbooking
by Kathy Williams
Get ready to have a blast making custom rub on transfers. We spent hours
researching the best way to make smudge-free rub on transfers that could be used
in scrapbooking and rubber stamping craft projects.
We had a wonderful time using computer fonts to create titles for scrapbook
pages as well as unique rub on embellishments for our homemade cards. This fast,
inexpensive technique can be used to make some incredibly wonderful designs for
your next project.
Supplies:
1 Rub On Transfer Film
Fine Mist Hair Gel (LA Works Mega Hold)
Hairspray
Hair Dryer
Ink Jet Printer
Instructions:
Step 1: Spray the fine mist hair gel on the transfer film. Holding the film a
few inches from a mirror allows you to see if you have a good even coverage over
the film. Spray only enough to cover the film completely. You don’t want the gel
to “run” down the page, yet you need enough gel to cover all areas of the film
Step 2: Using the hair dryer, dry the gel to the film. It should only take
between 20-45 seconds if you placed the correct amount of gel on the film.
Step 3: Prepare your artwork using any number of design or word processing
programs. You can also stamp the images on the film with dye or pigment based
inks.
*Important: The design or image will need to be reversed. You can flip the image
in your desired program or complete the image mirror in the printing step.
Step 4: Set your printer to the “T-shirt Transfer” mode or select “Mirror Image”
in your printer options. (Refer to the manual that came with your printer for
assistance.) If you already flipped the image in your design software or word
processor, you can skip this step.
Step 5: Print your image on a normal print setting. This should provide enough
ink to make a wonderful transfer while making sure the ink does not run. You may
need to experiment a few times to get the right setting.
*NOTE: Only print exactly what you desire to rub-on and not excess images. You
will be able to use the film many times.
Step 6: Allow the ink to dry in place. You can speed the drying process with a
hair dryer, but be careful not to blow the ink out of place. Place your image
flat on a surface and spray with a light coat of hairspray. Using the hair
dryer, dry the hairspray in place.
Step 7: Gently lay the rub-on onto the artwork. (Practice first!) Using a spoon,
rub the image in place. Make sure to rub the entire area thoroughly to release
the image. Gently peel away.
