Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure

How to make a scratch off ticket to reveal a surprise

by

DSC09005Over at the Artmind blog there is a cool tutorial on how to make a scratch-off lottery ticket. Now she doesn’t use recycled images or card stock but that is exactly what popped into my mind when I saw this. I thought of using old Bingo cards, Monopoly cards or even images from magazines, printing little love notes or other secret messages and then covering them up. OK so I am still a bit old fashion. Do kids in school still pass notes in class or is it all done through texting now? Ah the good old days……

Check out these Customizable scratch cards on Etsy.
