Scrapbook Tips Rub-ons

  • Cut out the rub-on with fine-tipped scissors. My favorite brand, I have four pair, are Cutterbee scissors with the non-stick coating. Put the remaining rub-ons in a plastic bag so they won't dry out.
  • First timers won't necessarily know this--take off the backing.
  • You can use the stick provided but I love my Rub-on tool. It has a ball bearing on the end that makes it really easy to get it on the paper. Rub on the image and make sure to peak a couple of times before you lift anything off so you can see how it is doing. The biggest mistake a beginner makes is not peaking underneath before they lift the image off!
  • If you don't like where you put the image or it is not on to your liking put a piece of transparent tape on it and gently rub it. Don't press too hard or the tape might pull up paper. Don't worry if that happens you can just cover the area with a sticker.
  • Many people say they don't like rub-ons but they are a wonderful way to make fast and fabulous pages! So don't give up. Take a few minutes and practice on extra paper. In minutes you will love rub-ons!
