I used it as a promotional tool for <a href="http://barberryandlace.etsy.com">the shop</a> and it was a lot of fun… I’m always on the lookout for new and unique ideas to incorporate into my business. This would also be really neat to do with kiddos… maybe a reward system or something? I’ll let you know when our gal is old enough!</p><p>What you’ll need:</p><ul> <li>Dish Soap </li> <li>Silver acrylic paint </li> <li>Contact paper </li> <li>Glue/Adhesive </li> <li>Lottery tickets pre-printed on cardstock </li> </ul><p>First, I cut all of the tickets apart and cut decorative paper to fit on the back. Next I cut the contact paper into small squares to cover the prizes.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-oSxomAHJx3I/UsmRITqEWoI/AAAAAAAADLc/2gpUrqvs_yM/100_9502%25255B9%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800"></div><p>After everything is cut, glue the tickets onto the decorative backing. This obviously is optional, but I think it makes them look pretty. After gluing the backing on, place the small squares of contact paper over the prizes. This will be the area you’ll paint.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-nirrNCU475Y/UsmRJEf-5fI/AAAAAAAADLk/knEj1BgUgMM/100_9507%25255B23%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-sMRR0bkfESo/UsmRKQvZ6TI/AAAAAAAADdM/SgG5mdYDL00/100_9508.jpg?imgmax=800"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-l_JQDHG6GoY/UsmRLtJ_O9I/AAAAAAAADdQ/09I9WZhytIs/100_9515.jpg?imgmax=800"></div><p><br></p><p>To mix the paint, use 2 parts paint and 1 part dishwashing liquid.

If you can still see the prize through the paint, you may need another layer. When all is dry, scratch with a coin to see your prize!</p>Leighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01570042840654708978noreply@blogger.com0
