    I am thrilled to be a member of the DecoArt design team!  
    Thanks to DecoArt for making this post possible.

    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

    supplies

    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!

      Such a cute idea Ashley, although I think my brother would probably prefer it with cash rather than chocolate.
