Five Easy Ways to Decorate Your Graduation Cap

Graduation is around the corner, so that means putting together last-minute arrangements in order to make the special day even better, and what way to do that than by decorating your cap? Decorating your cap is your time to shine at graduation, and to give thanks to the people who helped get you there. 

Cap decorations ranging from adhesive flowers to rhinestones are all helpful in creating the best design, so here are five ways to decorate your cap for graduation. 

Use Pre-Graduation Cap Decorations 

Decorating your cap is something special, but it also takes up much time. During graduation season, many other things must be taken care of before the big day, so there might not be spare time to sit and decorate. 

Not to worry, there are websites where you can purchase pre-made cap toppers. You can easily take these toppers on and off and change the designs. You can visit Tassel Toppers for a range of designs! 

Use Removable Adhesive Strips 

Removable adhesive strips are a smart and easy way to decorate your cap. There are a number of adhesive straps, so make sure the one you use is compatible with the fabric. This way, it’ll be easier to take off and add whatever stickers or flowers you may want to add to your cap. Different adhesive strips can be found at stores like Michaels or on Amazon

Create a Design on a Computer and Print it Out.

Even if you’re not feeling arts and crafty, there is an easier way to ensure your graduation cap has your desired design. This could be done by getting the exact measurements of your cap and creating an image on Canva or Word. This way, your design will be neatly printed, and all you will have to do is tape or glue it on. It’s fast, easy, and effective! 

Buy Cap Decorating Kits 

If you love arts and crafts and spend time making sure your design comes out perfectly, then decorating kits are the way to go. These kits have a range of colorful stickers of alphabets and graduation images like mini diplomas, mini caps, gowns, and more. This way, you can add endless creativity to your cap without having more supplies left over in case you want to share them with a friend! These DIY kits can be found at Michaels, Party City, and Amazon

Gather Your Supplies at Once

Whether you’re using Flowers, Rhinestones, Sequins, Buttons, or Adhesive pearls, make sure you can find all of these things at once, so when you sit to decorate your cap, everything you need for your design is already there. For good measure, you can even look into getting a backup cap in case things don’t go too well with the original. Individual Graduation caps are cheap (most of them are under $10)  and can be found on websites like Amazon and Tassel Depot. 

There you have it! Those are five suggestions for decorating your graduation cap; if you decide to decorate, remember this is a special day, so don’t stress if the cap doesn’t come out exactly how you want it. Have fun decorating and congratulations!
