DIY: Scratch Off Cards

It's more of a proof of concept than anything. I wanted to know how long will it take to create these scratch off cards. We're planning on using it in one of the reception activities. It's tedious but I can imagine this as something that guests will find fun... and a prize awaits the lucky winner.

Cut the scratch off cards

Put a tape over the scratch off area. Tape it on a scratch paper

Use a craft tape for areas not to be painted over

Using 2 parts acrylic paint and 1 part dish washer liquid soap, paint over the taped area

When the paint dries off, remove the crafting tape

Cut off the scratch paper

Have to practice with acrylic paint

Sample scratch off

The cards came off a little too big so we'll have to resize that. The acrylic paint is also sloppy but hopefully we could smooth it out. And yeah, we'll change the paper... probably something lighter.

300 scratch off cards.... LET'S DO THIS!
