Scratch Art

Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • Paper plates
  • Oil Pastels
  • Tempera Paint black or another darker color for best results
  • Toothpick or scratching tools
  • Paper towels or wet wipes for cleaning up messes

Instructions

  • First draw a colorful pattern on the plate. I used a rainbow type bullseye circle. Other patterns work just as well
  • Make sure to apply the oil pastel pretty think and blend it so no white is showing through. Allow to dry for 30 minutes
  • The first layer of paint should be thin, but cover the plate completely. Let dry before applying second coat
  • Apply a thicker coat of paint for the second layer. Allow to dry. For best results, allow to dry overnight
  • Take a toothpick, paperclip, or other sketching tool and draw a pattern or picture and watch the magic happen.
