Graduation Cap Gift Box

I actually don't have anyone graduating from anything this year.  My son has another year in preschool and my daughter will begin 2nd grade next year.  However, I have several family-friends who have kids (adults!?) graduating from high school this year!  It's a super big deal!  And so I thought, with a few graduation parties coming my way, it would be the perfect time to create a little Graduation Cap Gift Holder or Favor Box that would be a perfect way to celebrate the grad in your life!

To create a Graduation Cap Gift Box, you will need:

• DecoArt Americana Acrylic Paint, Lamp (Ebony) Black
• Foam Brush
• Tassel (in the school color of your choice, or gold)
• Round Cardboard Box with Lid (from any craft store)
• Glitter Black Card Stock
• Scissors
• Paper cutter (optional)
• Hot Glue

First I simply painted my round cardboard boxes black!  And then I let it dry completely.  The first coat covered well so I did not do a second coat, but you can if you need to.

Then I cut a piece of glitter black card stock (regular card stock would work too 🙂  into a square, larger then the box.  I also cut out a small circle of card stock too.

Finally I hot glued my tassel to my square card stock and then hot glued my circle card stock on top of the tassel.  And in just a matter of minutes, I had the cutest Grad Cap Favor Box ever!!

You could fill this with treats or a gift card.  Even a tie would fit in there perfectly for a boy or a piece of jewelry for a girl!  The options of what you do with it are truly endless!  But this fun packaging is just the cutest!

Do you have anyone graduating this year!?
