Using Fake Tattoos

I love using Rub Ons but sometimes I can't find exactly the one I need - OR they are so expensive I can't afford to stock such a huge range.
So I have taken to using kids fake tattoos as part of my "Rub On" range - they come in all shapes and sizes and best of all, they are tailor made towards the types of things the kids like!
They are particluarly good for boy LO's - especially the Tribal tattoo designs.

Follow these easy steps and have a try at putting some "Fake Rub ON's " on your LO:

You Need:
Container of water

Place the tattoo on the spot you would like it to go FACE DOWN.

Wet a tissue until it is sopping but not DRIPPING and dab gently at the back of the tattoo. It will start to become less opaque.

Use the back of a spoon or an embossing tool to gently rub on the back of the tattoo to make it sure it "grabs".

Cute idea and they are cheap at the dollar stores.
But are they acid free?
