Creative Ways to Decorate Your Graduation Cap

 

Creative Ways to Decorate Your Graduation Cap

Your final assignment counts for no grade! Be creative and have fun all the while celebrating a year of accomplishment because you've earned it. Graduation caps are a memory you can add personality to and preserve with a creative touch. Leave a comment if you have more ideas to share that aren't included on this list. Thank you! :)

_________________________________________________________

Floral Crown Not directly on the top, but on the crown of your head (think floral crown but with the cap still on) arrange and adhere some flowers. This is so adorable and leaves plenty of room on the top for a quote or saying if you wish.

Floral Corners/Edges Add faux flowers to the top corners or edges. It's like a border which can be in the corners of the cap or filling around the entire square. Still allows for plenty of room in the middle to place other designs.

Stickers Stickers or iron ons are a great option when it comes to easy decoration. You can use any sort of stickers from flowers, letters, and so on.

Graphic Paper

Graphic paper can be anything from floral to your favorite television character. Visit the craft store and pick out paper or print a design and glue to the headwear. Adding floral paper is an easier way to place flowers. Cut a grouping of flowers from chosen paper and paste onto cap corners. Another simple way to decorate is cutting a square to fit the entire cap using it as a background. I've seen glitter paper used most often. It's easy to then decorate, having the background give everything a bit more personality.

 

Paint Create a masterpiece with your graduation head piece! Fabric paint will be best for this project. Of course, if using glitter or confetti with the paint, all will dry leaving your creation sparkle!

Beads/Gemstones Beads will add texture like no other. Glue the beads directly to the cap. Pearls for example, will give you a classy look. Use beads for borders or faux gemstones to trace letters or even, give flair to flowers. Bling is always in style!

 

 

Ribbon Lace ribbon? Yes please! Such exquisite taste you have! Lace makes for perfect borders. Grab yourself a wider ribbon even and tie a big bow. Place the bow in the corner that will go on back of your head. Stunning indeed!

Tassel It was worth the hassle, right? A minimalist way to decorate your tassel is by stringing up some beads and flowers. Create a pattern with those embellishments as if you're making a necklace or bracelet. Such a fun way to sport your school colors.
