Make Scratch Art Using Oil Pastels

Oil pastels are fun to work with and you can create any design!
Scratch Art
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.
