WHAT YOU WILL NEED: 

STEP ONE:

First print out your free cards and cut in two, or design your own. Just make sure you have a blank box with your chosen question in it…

STEP TWO:

Cut out your tape or clear contact paper so that it is the same size as your question box and stick it over the top, smoothing out any air bubbles.

STEP THREE:

Add 1 part dish soap to 2 parts acrylic paint together and mix until incorporated.

Paint a thin layer over just the clear tape/contact paper and wait for it to dry, being careful not to go over the edges of the question box.

STEP FOUR:

Wait for the first layer to dry and then add a second layer. Continue this process until you can no longer see the wording underneath - it took me 4 coats with about half an hour in between each one but this will differ depending on your paint, paper and environment etc.

If you have multiple bridesmaids, make all of the cards at the same time!

And then once it’s completely dry you can give to your bridesmaids so they can scratch them off and answer your all important question!
