I don't know about you, but I like my craft projects easy, it's why I am not typically one to share something with a million steps.  As someone who used to seek inspiration from blogs, I was drawn to simple and affordable projects that fit my budget and time constraints. Today, with spring and Easter on my mind, I'll guide you through creating charming pictures featuring adorable bunny rub-on transfers.

Easter is just around the corner, less than 60 days away! Unlike previous years, I'm ready and eagerly anticipating the festivities. The approaching holiday prompted me to discover these delightful spring rub-on transfers, and without hesitation, I added them to my cart, anxiously awaiting their arrival. Impatience gets the better of me when I have a project in mind.

My first encounter with rub-on transfers was during Christmastime, and I might be hooked. However, not all rub-on transfers are created equal, as I learned while working on these cute bunny pictures for spring. I'll even share the pitfalls, so let's dive in.

Rub on Transfer Spring Craft

  

Supplies:

1. 1 set Spring rub on transfers
2. Scrapbook paper of your choice (I found a book at Walmart with great pages)
3. Scissors
4. Picture frame

Instructions:

• Choose your desired scrapbook paper and cut it to the frame size. Using the paper from inside the frame ensures the perfect fit.  I used 5x7 frames for my bunny pictures.
• Cut the rabbit rub-on transfer, staying close to the image.
• Peel the back off the rub on transfer.
• Place it in the desired location on the paper.
• Add the paper and rub-on transfer art to the frame—voila! You now have some charming spring art for your walls or tables.

Wasn't that easy? Now, where did I go wrong? I initially expected the rub-on transfer to behave like the IOD transfers I used for Christmas, but it wasn't the case.

Oh no!  Read on to see how I fixed this blunder. 

As you can see, when I tried to peel away the top of the rub on transfer, it also removed the paper. Yikes! I was not prepared for that. I share the good, the bad, and the ugly so you won't be surprised if you attempt this.

How did I fix this without wasting a transfer?  I pressed the rub on transfer back to the paper, and then I cut out around the bunny decal and added it to a new piece of scrapbook paper, then framed it.  Not too shabby, despite my blunder.  I even left a hint of blue paper around the edges for added dimension.  

At first I thought huh... I am not so sure I like these rub on transfers, but THEN... I had an epiphany!  If you cut carefully around the rub-on transfer, the protective coating stays on top, safeguarding your design.  When I used the IOD rub on transfers, I had to apply wax over the transfer sticker for protection, making this a better choice in my opinion. If you've worked with craft transfers before, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

While spring and Easter might seem distant for some, I wanted to share this easy rub-on transfer craft project now in case you'd like to give it a try. Seasonal items sell out quickly, and in the past, I'd often miss out on supplies. Here we are, delving into spring and Easter before Valentine's Day even arrives.  I seems I am either late or early to the party. 

I was pleased with the quantity of rub-on transfers I received for the price in this set. I'm even considering a series of blog posts to share ideas you can create with this particular set of decals. Let me know if you'd like more on rub-on transfers; I believe they elevate crafting to the next level.

Oh, the possibilities!
