Oops.

So...it looks like I took the summer off from blogging, huh.

Oops.

I didn't mean to...really! Life just got in the way.

Anyway, there are TONS of new crafting developments, but I'll start you off with a fun, school-related one, seeing as how school has been on my mind...and we start tomorrow!

I'm a firm believer in positive reinforcement in my classroom. I decided that I wanted to think of a new way to thank students for their hard work. One day this summer, I stumbled upon these fun Scratch Off Lottery Tickets. Yes! The perfect answer!

Using this blog, I was able to make my very own.

First, I created my lottery tickets with a simple Word Document. Students will earn fun things like getting to sit at the teacher's desk, and the ever-popular Lunch with the Teacher.


For some added color and weight, I attached each ticket to bright card stock.



Then, I cut clear contact paper to cover the area that will be scratched off.



I mixed 2 parts of acrylic silver paint with 1 part liquid dish soap and painted over the designated area.



After letting the paint dry, I couldn't resist trying one myself! Who doesn't love to scratch off something to see what they've won?


Wouldn't this be a fun DIY for Valentine's this year?

xo,
