Cut a piece of cardstock in half and begin colouring it with crayon.Make sure you press hard with the crayon, leaving a thick and waxy layer on the paper.
Continue colouring with different colours of crayon. Bright, bold colours will show up the best.
You can colour your paper in any pattern you like. Here are a few examples of the ones we made.All that's important is using a variety of different colours and adding them to cover the whole paper!
Step 3: Mix the paint and cover the paper
Add 1 part black acrylic paint to a small bowl or palette.
Add an equal amount of dish soap to the paint.
Use a foam brush (or regular paintbrush) to mix the paint and soap together.
Use the foam brush to paint over the crayon. Add a generous amount of the paint mixture to ensure that little to no colour shows through. Allow to dry at least 3 hours or until there are no wet spots remaining.
Step 4: Have fun with the scratch art
Use a wooden skewer to draw on the scratch art paper. As you draw with the skewer, the bright crayon colours will be revealed!
Have fun experimenting with different designs.Your DIY scratch art is complete!
