You’ve probably seen lots of make-your-own-scratch-off tutorials popping up on Pinterest. I thought that sounded so cool that I decided to give it a try! (I first saw a tutorial at Little Wonder’s Days) This project was to help my kids practice showing virtue in their daily life. After talking about the virtue (see here for the current We Choose Virtues GIVEAWAY going on NOW!) I handed them each a scratch-off card. Each time they were ‘caught’ showing the virtue of kindness they got to scratch off a spot on the card. If they made a match – they won the prize! It was a HUGE hit in our house.
Here is how to make your own:
- Here is my {free} Virtue Scratch off Card. Print it AND laminate it (you can use the self laminate pouches or invest in an inexpensive laminator – I use mine more than I thought I would! If you are interested mine is very small so it stores neatly, works great, and only costs $30 right now at Amazon!)
- Mix the scratch-off paint by mixing 1 TAB metallic acrylic paint & 1 TAB dish detergent in a bowl.
- Paint over the squares with your scratch off paint.
- Allow it to dry a couple of hours and you have your finished scratch off cards.
- Your kids are going to LOVE it! My kids think it is a hoot!
And for my pinning friends:
Here are the supplies I used:
So what scratch-off projects have you made? I have a couple more in process I can’t wait to share with you!
Thanks for a tutorial. I had thought about using this technique for a spy party that we had recently. What fun! This looks like it was a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visual tutorial. I'll add this to my list of other ways to make scratch off cards.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome...the printable for virtues, too!!!
ReplyDeleteCan any other paint be used?
Can I just say that I read all the way down to the picture of the paint bottle and them I hopped up and down in my seat?? I have that exact bottle of paint sitting on my shelf right here!! I NEVER have the special supplies needed to make cute things I see on the internet. NEVER. SO many projects fail because I never get to the store or I can't even justify buying some off the wall object. But I have that paint! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteAlso, on a more normal note, I have that same laminator and it is great. I use it all the time. A great investment. I also bought my lamination pouches on Amazon. You can buy a box of 100 for a very reasonable price, especially compared to the in-store prices.
This is awesome. You did it so nicely. I need the Scratch Cards Printing machine, where i can get the best one?
ReplyDeleteWow this is great and multiple info....men ,women and especially children do it.It is so easy ,precious and delightful.
