How Do I Make My Own Rub-On Transfer Paper?
Use rub-on transfers to embellish items. Make the rub-ons at home using transparency sheets to not only save money but also to customize your own designs. Once the design prints on the transparency sheet, an object such as a Popsicle stick releases the image from the sheet to the object you wish to embellish. The use of hair gel and hair spray help adhere the image to the transparency sheet. To make the rub-on transfer appear professional, print the picture with the best quality settings on your printer and ensure that you mirror the image in a word processing program. Choose an image you want to use as a transfer. Browse the internet for a picture, or use one that you custom made. Make sure you save the picture to your computer’s hard drive. Open up Microsoft Word. Choose the “Insert” tab, and then select “Picture.” Locate the picture on your hard drive. Select the image once you insert it. A “Format” tab will appear in to top portion of the program. On the right side, click “Rotate”
