How do you apply rub-ons?

January 9th, 2007

Question:  I was given a scrapbook for Christmas and have never done one so decided to try one today. Anyway I have stickers here from Fraces Meyer. It says 2.5″x4 1/2″ SECTIONS (1SHEET). BUT DOES NOT GIVE ME ANY INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO APPLY. THEY ARE NOT STICKERS - YOU JUST PEEL OFF AND STICK ON. It looks like some sort of rub on sticker but I don’t know what I’m suppose to use.  If you can help that would be great!

Answer: If it is a rub-on, there probably is some sort of backing that is like tissue paper or something that is non-sticking.  You just need to peel that off and place the rub-on face down.  You then need to use an object to rub the opposite side of the paper.  You can use your fingernail if you want, but I use popsicle sticks or a rub-on tool.  You should be able to tell if the rub-on is working because the spots that you rub usually look lighter in color because they are no longer attached to the plastic sheet they were attached to.  Just peel the sheet back slightly, while still holding it in place, to make sure that the rub-on is sticking.  Rub-on are very versatile.  You can use them on scrapbooks, but they stick to any surfaces - wood, glass, metal, etc. Have fun!
