LINING UP RUB-ON LETTERS

by Adrienne Lubbe

Position and attach the backing paper from the rub-on to your

page using a removable adhesive such as Herma sticky dots.

This allows you to work on your page without accidently rubbing off the rub-ons.

The backing sheet also creates a straight line as a guide line to get the lettering

straight. This way you don't need to draw a pencil line and then erase it

afterwards, causing damage the rub on.

I often rub the word on by spelling it backwards. That way you will have it end

up finishing where you wanted it to, because it is very difficult to know

exactly how the spacing of the rub-on lettering will work out.

HINT: Write out the word on rough paper first so that you don't make a

spelling mistake, because spelling backwards is more difficult than you think!

Here you can see the completed word, straight, correctly spelt and nicely spaced.
