Decorating a graduation cap is a great way to show off your individuality as well as make your graduation day even more special. Graduation is a super exciting time for all students, whether you’re in high school, undergraduate or graduate school and during this time, you can decorate your cap to show off who you are or who you want to be. There are several different ways to go about decorating your cap, whether you’re renting your cap and gown or if you’ve purchased one to keep.
Do it yourself
You can decorate your cap yourself by using a poster board. Cut the poster board in a square the size of your cap and cut a hole in the middle where the button and tassel from your cap can fit through. Once this is done decorate it however you want. Once decorated you can use command strips or strong double-sided tape to stick the poster board onto your cap and you’re all set.
However, if you do want to decorate your actual graduation cap the steps are pretty simple. You can use pencil to outline your design and paint your cap. For the best results paint with acrylic paint as it dries quickly and is available at most craft stores. Another option is to tie die your cap the same as you would a t shirt.
Have one custom made
If you’re not the arts and crafts type, don’t worry. There’s another way to decorate your cap without having to pick up any glitter or paint that also keeps it in perfect condition in case it needs to be returned.
