Rub On Wall Transfers

If you have children, you are probably familiar with temporary tattoos. Apply the same idea to wall murals and you will understand the concept behind rub on transfers. After affixing the transfer sheet to your wall, you apply the design by rubbing the sheet with a simple application tool (similar to a doctor’s tongue depressor). As if by magic, this rubbing process causes the design to be transferred from the paper to your wall, allowing you to create a beautiful wall mural in mere minutes. The best part – no one will know that it’s not hand painted (unless you tell them, of course!).
