Scratch off tickets


I give these tickets out to students who get a 100% on a test. They love it!!!

How to :
Materials needed:

  • Dawn Dish Soap
  • Anita's Acrylic Craft Paint
  • Paint Brush
  • Packing Tape
  • Paper
  • Painters Tape


Step 1:

Mix one part dish soap with two parts paint. I used 1/2 TBS of Dawn and 1 TBS of blue craft paint.

Step 2:

Print and cut out your tickets. I used clip art and word to make mine. I suggest using card stock paper because it is heavier and holds up to the paint better.

Step 3:


Use the packing tape to cover the area you want to be scratched off.

Step 4:


Use painters tape to cover the area in which you do not want the paint. This will give you a nice clean edge.

Step 5:

Paint the mixture of dawn and paint over the packing tape in thin layers. You may need more than one layer to cover the text.

Step 6: 

Cut out your ticket! Here is another tip, let the paint fully dry before peeling off the painters tape. As you can see in the picture I smudged it a little while taking off the tape. LOL That's what I get for being impatient.

There you go! Now you can make scratch off tickets! I use them in my classroom, but they could be fun for family get togethers, parties etc...

Some of the "prizes" I use for my scratch tickets are a homework pass, extra recess, choose a prize from the prize box. You could use anything you want!
