Decorated Graduation Caps

Aloha Crafters!

As you all know right now in our stores, we are preparing for graduation! So for this weeks post I decided to show you whats going on in our store!

We made and decorated our own graduation caps! Aren't they fun?? The idea of this was togive everyone a little individuality during their ceremony. Take a look at a few of my favorites!

Thanks Mom & Dad

We all have to thank our parents right? Especially for those pushes they give us!

This one was quickly put together using one of the windmills in our spring section in the store. It kind of reminds me of those hats with the spinners on top!

Are you an athlete? Dedicate your cap to your sport and team! 

And last but not least, lets not forget that adventure is out there  after graduation!

Now go out and decorate your caps!

Magnet Board

These magnet boards are so cool... you can use ANY paper to make the design you want. Hang it, mount it, put it on a stand.... any way you want!

Supplies:
12x12 Metal sheet
12x12 Frame
Scrapbooking paper
Inka Gold
Double Sided tape



This is so simple.... We are gonna do it in 3 steps!

1: Use double sided tape to secure the paper to the metal sheet.... you only need a little bit because the frame will hold it in place good.

2: Insert the metal sheet into the frame. (Remove the glass if there is any, you won't be needing it.)

3: Rub the frame with Inka Gold using a tissue or some paper towel!


TA-DAH!!! All done and look how awesome it is...


Thanks for looking and CRAFT ON!!
