✨ How to Make Rub-On Decals


🎨 Design Options
- Create artwork using your computer, rubber stamps, or hand-drawing
- For digital designs, set printer to: High Resolution, Photo Paper, Mirror Image
- Always print or draw on the rough side of the frosted decal film
- If combining print and hand designs, print first—then add drawings or stamps
🛠️ Step-by-Step Instructions
- Design and print your artwork on the rough side of the frosted decal film.
- Cut a matching piece of adhesive film just large enough to cover your artwork.
- Peel the backing liner off the adhesive film to expose the sticky side.
- Carefully place the adhesive sheet over the printed design, sticky side down. Smooth out air bubbles as you go.
- Trim your design as close to the edge as possible using scissors or a craft knife.
- Peel off the backing from the adhesive sheet. This reveals the sticky side of your finished rub-on.
- Apply to a clean, dry surface. Rub firmly using a wooden stick, craft stick, or coin.
- Gently peel away the frosted film layer to reveal your finished rub-on decal!
📌 Pro Tips & Suggestions
- Work slowly—adhesive is very sticky and cannot be repositioned
- Use a bone folder or ruler edge for extra-firm rubbing
- To remove film liners, gently bend a corner to separate backing
- Great for layering patterns, borders, or fine text on unusual surfaces!
