instructions
1
make your card with a secret scratch-off message, and cover this section (only!) with a piece of clear packing tape.
2
mask the top and bottom with masking tape for a clean edge. TIP: try the tape first to make sure it doesn’t tear the paper.
3
create the scratch-off mixture by mixing 2 parts acrylic paint with 1 part dish soap – stir gently so you don’t create too many bubbles!
4
paint over your message and let dry completely. (the “completely” is important!)
5
share your mini secret message with a friend!
reveal by scratching off the paint with the edge of a coin.
