🎨 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

  1. Design and print your artwork on the rough side of the frosted decal film.
  2. Cut a matching piece of adhesive film just large enough to cover your artwork.
  3. Peel the backing liner off the adhesive film to expose the sticky side.
  4. Carefully place the adhesive sheet over the printed design, sticky side down. Smooth out air bubbles as you go.
  5. Trim your design as close to the edge as possible using scissors or a craft knife.
  6. Peel off the backing from the adhesive sheet. This reveals the sticky side of your finished rub-on.
  7. Apply to a clean, dry surface. Rub firmly using a wooden stick, craft stick, or coin.
  8. 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!
