Temporary tattoos in a SB?

Mar '10 Winemaker

Has anyone ever put the temporary tattoos that kids play with in a scrap book? The kind that you apply to skin with water. If so, how do you do it?

Thanks for any help.

I've never used them before. Great idea though. Do they transfer like a rub-on? Or you could peel off the backing and use spray adhesive to Adhere them

I'm wondering if it will work to transfer them like a rub on. To transfer them to skin you wet the back and slide off the backing. I don't want to ruin the one's I have because I want to use them in a scrapbook.

i have done this, i am not sure if it's acid free but the effect was cool depending on the paper and quality of the temporary tattoo itself. i took a damp paper towel and lightly applied pressure to the paper, then peeled back and let dry.

I use them alot...I use a q-tip so I can control the amount of water, and don't have to worry about warping or ruining my LO...it's super easy.
using them like a rub-on will not work. If your still worried, then try putting it on a tag that you can add to your LO...that is what I did the very first time. Now, I'm not scared, so I just add them directly to the paper.

My mom did. I did a JDRF walk and when she scraped the pics she used some of thier temp tats on the page. She just cut out around the tat and put that on the page rather than tating the paper

Like this idea. Never would have thought it would work though.
