Cleo Papanikolas Learn how to make your own scratch-off cards and start a new tradition for your New Year’s resolutions. Our printable art includes a small weekly booklet to keep track of your weekly wins and a 52-week chart for the whole year.
When you complete one day of your daily practice, scratch off a dot on your pocket-sized chart to reveal a gold star. Complete a whole week and you get to give yourself a gold star on the 52-week chart. What can you keep track of? Taking your vitamins, a daily or weekly artistic or writing project, chores, exercise, work tasks, you name it.

How to Make Scratch Off Cards for the New Year
- Cut out the three pieces of artwork
- Fold the two book pieces in half and score. Glue the book page inside the book cover with the stars on the inside right.
- Cover the weekly chart completely and the star page of the book with the packing tape or laminating sheet. You don’t need to cover the left page of the book so you can write notes there.
- Mix up a color of paint that you like. Add a little less than equal parts soap to the paint and mix to combine.
- Paint each circle, covering up the stars. Let dry or use the blowdryer.
- Use a coin to scratch off a dot when you complete a task and give yourself a star.
