- Use a paper trimmer to cut out each card to 4×5 inches.
- Place a small square of clear packing tape over the scratch off area.
- Mix 2 parts metallic craft paint, to 1 part dish soap, in a small bowl.
- Paint over the scratch off area. The first coat will be thin and may not go on evenly, but don’t worry! Once you let the paint dry and apply 1-2 more coats of paint, the scratch off area will be completely covered.
How fun, right? These colorful little cards are a simple and inexpensive way to give a creative gift. You’ll love watching the recipient scratch away the paint, revealing a special surprise. After all, it’s their lucky day!
