Graduation Cap cards

It's graduation season! 

And boy do we have a lot of senior graduations 

to celebrate~

These little caps that I make are a fun way

to celebrate the graduates in your life!

Let's get these started!

I always make these caps the school colors.

Start by cutting 2 -  8 1/2 x 8 1/2"  sheets of cardstock

 the color you want your cap to be.  

Get a piece of copy paper and cut it 8 x 8"

Now start to fold the paper...

fold it both ways as you see below.

Now fold it again right in half

Like above,

Now fold in both sizes 

so that it creates mountain folds.

Should look like this, when you get to this point

take your two pieces of colored card stock

you cut and prepare them.

First step take a pin or an aul and poke a hole in the

top of one of the squares.

Using some bakers twine wrap around your

hand about 5 times to make the tassel.

Once you've wrapped it cut one of the sides 

so that the top it together and the bottom is open.

Using a brad, you can use any brad you like,

push it down through the hole and wrap the closed

end of the bakers twine around the brad and close

off at the back.

Now glue the two blue pieces to the white

paper, one on each side. 

Super fun fold to try and these lil' caps

are so cute to gift to your graduates!
