DIY Scratch off Valentine’s

How cool are these do-it-yourself scratch off Valentine’s Day cards??? You can easily turn any piece of paper into your own custom made scratch off. The possibilities are endless!! You can either purchase designed cards, create your own or download the ones I made for FREE which you can grab throughout this post. It won’t take you long to make and the best part is that you can get the kids involved and have them make their own! Win-win in my books! Let’s get started!

Supplies you will need:

• A Valentine’s Day card or the FREE Printable (grab here)

• Scissors or paper trimmer (this is my favorite trimmer)

• Clear packing tape or clear shelf liner

• Metallic paint (the silver one worked best for me but any paint colour will do)

• Paint brushes (smaller more detailed ones would work best as my foam brushes were not ideal)

• Dish soap (any brand will do)

• Pen or marker to fill in your card

• Coin (to scratch off the card)

Step 1: Download your FREE Printable HERE

Step 2: Cut out your printables

Step 3: Using a pen write your messages on your printable

Step 4: Apply clear packing tape over the areas you want to have the scratch off

Step 5: Make your scratch off paint mixture. In a small bowl or plate, mix 2 parts paint, 1 part dish soap mix well with a spoon or stick

Step 6: Using a smaller paintbrush then I did, apply the first coat of mixture over the written message (making sure to stay on the packing tape). NOTE: You may need a few coats depending on the paint. My gold paint wasn’t very thick and needed 3 coats.

Step 7: Let dry in between coats and completely before scratching off.

Step 8: Give your Valentine’s to your friends or loved ones.

Step 9: Using a coin, scratch off the area to reveal your message!
