Scratch-off lottery tickets give me an adrenaline rush like you wouldn’t believe. Will I win $100?  Maybe $1000? It never works out though does it? I have never won a dime playing the lottery. I haven’t even won a penny.  But I still love scratching off that silver coating, the shreds getting stuck under my unmanicured fingers.  Since I don’t buy lottery tickets very often,  I can get my fix with these Scratch-Off Valentines.  And unlike lottery tickets, they are totally kid friendly.

These scratch off Valentines are so much fun! Learn how to make your own with this easy tutorial and a few simple household supplies.

Acrylic Paint (I used gray but you can use any color you want)
Clear contact paper or packing tape
Dawn dish detergent
Paint brush
Valentines available in the resource library, available to my email subscribers.

1. First, print the valentines onto heavy cardstock.  The heavier the better.

2. Next, cover the valentines with CONTACT paper. You can also use packing tape, which is what I did.  I did not have any contact paper handy and Target didn’t have any but they did have packing tape, so that is what I used.  You just need something clear over the valentine

3. Next, mix 2 parts paint with one part Dawn.

4. Paint the mixture over the rectangles to cover the words.

5. Let the paint dry and then scratch off to reveal the message.
