DIY Scratch Off Picture

It’s time for another DIY. This time round will be doing a DIY Scratch Off Picture. I saw this one day and had to try it out.

The materials you will be needing:

  • Acrylic paint (any brand and any color. I’m using a silver acrylic paint for this DIY)
  • Clear Tape
  • A picture (I’m using a small vintage print. You can use any print/picture.)
  • Scissors
  • Paintbrush
  • Dish washing detergent (any brand)
  • Paper plate

Materials

 

So here we go.

First, tape the picture down on the table so that it would not move and the borders so that the paint will not get onto it.

Place the acrylic paint onto the paper plate and then add the dish washing detergent. The amount I used is as below.

Mix it all together.  Then paint onto the picture. So it will look something like this:

Add another coat if certain parts are still visible. Once it is dry, remove the tapes at the borders.

I tested out by scratching it using a coin.
