Table of Contents
Materials You’ll Need
- Vintage Autumn Trucks Rub‑on Transfer Set
- Essential Rub‑On Transfer Tool
- White wood round (pre-painted or stained)
- Sanding sponge
- Dark titanium white acrylic paint
- Small sponge brush
- Wet wipes
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Surface
Sand your white wood round to create a smooth, even surface. This helps the transfer adhere better.
2. Position & Apply the Transfer
Choose the Pink Truck image from your transfer set. Position it carefully, then burnish firmly using the Essential Rub‑On Transfer Tool. Once positioned, avoid shifting it.
3. Lightly Sand for a Softer Look
Gently sand over the transfer to soften edges and blend it with the wood surface.
4. Add Depth with Paint
Using a sponge brush, apply a thin layer of dark titanium white paint for added depth.
5. Create a Weathered Effect
With a wet wipe, gently drag the paint across the wood for a soft, aged finish.
Helpful Tips
- Practice placement first — Once the transfer is down, it’s permanent.
- If selling at craft fairs, pre-prep your wood rounds and keep extra transfers handy for quick on-site creations.
- To prevent lifting, burnish well and work slowly when peeling back the transfer sheet.
