Here's a fun and easy craft to help you or your loved one make a big statement on their big day!
It's crazy to think about how I have been in school my entire life and now it has suddenly come to a close. I can hardly believe that I am finally graduating college and that it is time for me to start my career. I always have to go out in style, so I decided to decorate my graduation cap with a little flair and a lot of bling.
Materials:
Graduation Cap
Ribbon
7 Packs of Self Adhesive Pearls (I only used 6, but in case they fall out I have extra)
Stick on Letters
Hot Glue Gun
Scrapbook Paper
Step 1:
Cut a piece of scrapbook paper to fit the size of the cap.
Step 2:
Line the piece of paper with self adhesive pearls.
Step 3:
Ask your super awesome co-worker to help you cut out a whole for the tassel to fit through.
Step 4:
Make sure that you compliment her the whole time and remind her how uncoordinated you are and how much you appreciate her being so artsy.
Step 5:
Hot glue the scrapbook paper to the top of the cap.
Step 6:
Add a touch of decoration to the center button for an extra pop!
Step 7:
Google tutorials on how to make a bow and be so confused that you eventually just wing it and create a bow your own way.
Step 8:
Marvel at how perfect and beautiful your bow turned out!
Step 9:
Hot glue the bow onto the cap.
Step 10:
Stick letters to the bow to form any word or initials that you desire.
Everyone asks me why I put a "?" behind "Bye". It is because I am unsure of where I want to go in life, whether it is going back to school for longer or even just exploring the world. I don't want to be tied down to just doing one thing, so I put a question mark there to leave the future open for myself.
Graduating was an experience I will never forget, and I am so thankful that my family and friends were there to experience the end of this time in my life with me.
