{graduation} srm

I'm up on the SRM blog today (with Aimee) with some graduation projects!  I found some pre-made sparkly graduation cap shapes at my local party supply store. I mounted the invite sticker to a piece of cardstock and adhered it to the cap for a simple party invitation.


I cut off the "tassel" that was on it, traced it onto some gold glitter paper, fringed the ends, added the stickers and placed it on the cap.



I dressed up a gift bag with a pretty bow decked out with graduation sentiment stickers.  SO easy to do and I just love how it looks!  I covered the party horn in glitter paper and added stickers to it for a table top decoration.




You could use this technique on bows for weddings, baby and birthday gifts!

 


My final project was a chalk board painted message board for friends and family to write notes to the graduate.  For this project I did a mini one.  It was actually a large  unfinished picture frame I picked up at Michaels.


I used a tube to hold the chalk. I adhered it to the board with velcro.


I have one more year before I get to put these projects to good use, *sniff sniff*. 

I hope you have found some graduation inspiration with these projects! Be sure to check Aimee's projects for even more inspiration! 

Happy Tuesday, friends and thanks for stopping by!
