So, it leads me to wonder what was the wonderful event that inspired this latest unbelievably simple yet absolutely genius creation? 4 years ago Wow, thank you, Charlie! Honeslty, I’m not quite sure what inspired it. Mostly I was feeling bogged down by a number of overwhelming projects that were no where near completion and I just wanted to make something simple that I could actually finish! My aunt gave me several balls of Jo Sharp Yarn, some knitting needles and some teach yourself to knit books for christmas last year. I’ve never been able to make any sense of the whole knitting thing so they just sat in a basket it my room. It’s nice to have finally found a use for that gift! 4 years ago You could make a paper clip and a wet paper bag interesting!

Stamping Fantastic Rub On …

Fantastic Rub-On Transfers From Stuff Around The House! Get ready to have a blast making custom rub-on transfers. We spent hours researching the best way to make smudge free, rub-on transfers that could be used in scrapbooking and rubber Stamping craft projects. We had a wonderful time using computer fonts to create titles for scrapbook pages as well as unique rub-on embellishments for our homemade cards. This fast, inexpensive technique can be used to make some incredibly wonderful designs for your next project! Supplies: 1 Copier Transparency Fine Mist Hair Gel (LA Works Mega Hold) Hairspray Hair Dryer Ink Jet Printer Instructions: Step 1: Spray the fine mist hair gel on the transparency. Holding the film a few inches from a mirror allows you to see if you have a good even coverage over the film. Only spray enough to cover the film completely. You don’t want the gel to “run” down the page, yet you need enough gel to cover all areas of the film Step 2: Using the hair dryer, dry the gel to the transparency. It should only take between 20-45 seconds if you placed the correct amount of gel on the film. Step 3: Prepare your artwork using any number of design or word processing programs. You can also stamp the images on the film with dye or pigment based inks. *Important: The design or image will need to be reversed. You can flip the image in your desired program or complete the image mirror in the printing step. Step 4: Set your printer to the “T-shirt Transfer” mode or select “Mirror Image” in your printer options. (Refer to the manual that came with your printer for assistance.) If you already flipped the image in your design software or word processor, you can skip this step. Step 5: Print your image on a normal print setting. This should provide enough ink to make a wonderful transfer while making sure the ink does not run. You may need to experiment a few times to get the right setting. *NOTE: Only print exactly what you desire to rub-on and not excess images. You will be able to use the transparency many times. Step 6: Allow the ink to dry in place. You can speed the drying process with a hair dryer, but be careful not to blow the ink out of place. Place your image flat on a surface and spray with a light coat of hairspray. Using the hair dryer, dry the hairspray in place. Step 7: Gently lay the rub-on onto the artwork. (Practice first!) Using a spoon, rub the image in place. Make sure to rub the entire area thoroughly to release the image. Gently peel away.
