See http://amasci.com/holo/ Scratch-holograms can be made upon plastic CD/DVD cases using a couple of thumbtacks poked through a stick. Or get fancy and use a professional compass and black-painted polycarbonate. Or automate the process with a paperclip stuck into a motorized electric eraser, or a CNC mill with a drag-engraving tool.
Are these genuine holograms? Abrasion holography or "Chatoyant holograms" employ the same physics as white-light or "rainbow" holograms invented by Benton at MIT. Benton holograms reflect light from a point source, and they do not require any interference pattern. This is why a Rainbow Hologram functions the same under any wavelength of illumination. The fringes of Benton holograms can have any spacing: much wider than wavelengths of light. Said another way: if the holograms on your credit cards are genuine holograms, then also "Scratch-holograms" must be genuine holograms. See http://amasci.com/amateur/holo3.html

Look at the instructions for making your own, and the explanation. Click on the link.
The holes are where you rest the first sharp point of the compass, while you make curved scratches with the second sharp point. Scratch-holograms always have a cluster of these marks below the actual hologram.
Benton Whitelight holograms are composed of a series of curved lines. I found that you can scribe the lines by hand rather than creating them with laser interference.

I experimented with this a lot when I was younger, but never to this extent. Cool stuff indeed.
