Scratch-Offs

How to Make a Scratch Off Lottery Ticket

 

Materials Needed:

• Cardboard
• A Print-Out of your Scratch Off Design
• Glue Stick
• Sticky Back Plastic (Contact Paper)
• Metallic Acrylic Paint (Preferable Silver)
• Dish Soap

 

Uses:

• Tickets
• Rewards in the Classroom
• Points in the Classroom
• A Way to Assign Roles in Groups
• A Way to Assign Students to Groups
• Many More!

 

Steps:

1. Beforehand, print out a design that you want your scratch off to be.
2. If your printer can take thick paper, you can print it directly on the coardboad and skip this part.  If  you do it in two steps, it is nice to get a fun color background paper and glue the design onto the card
3. Then you take a piece of sticky back plastic and put it onto the design
4. Mix some metallic acrylic paint with dish soap (1 part soap, 2 parts paint). Mix the substance
5. Paint the plastic part on the ticket/design and let it dry
6. Make sure that the picture underneath the paint is hidden.  Add another layer if this is not the case. And then...scratch!
