 |
Step One
Apply the decorative paper to your paperweight kit's mounting board and trim any overlapping material.
For this project you'll want to use a smooth paper that doesn't have an impressed design or other texture. This will ensure proper adhesion of the transfer.
|
|
|
 |
Step Two
Select a rub-on transfer that's the right size to place on the mounting board. Cut the transfer from the main sheet, keeping the protective paper in place. |
|
|
 |
Step Three
Discard the rub-on transfer's protective paper and position the transfer in the exact area you'd like to place it. |
|
|
 |
Step Four
Using the popsicle stick that comes with the set of rub-on transfers, begin rubbing the edge of the design and move inward.
|
|
|
 |
Step Five
Gently peel back the clear, protective sheet making sure all the areas have transferred. |
|
|
 |
Place the mounting board face-down onto the bottom of the paperweight. Apply the velvet bottom pad to finish. |

I love the simplicity of this paperweight. The gold leaf looks really rich against warm, semi-metallic background. |
