1. Silver, Sleek and Chic

When it comes to graduation caps, a lot of girls just want to go simple, but they also want to make a statement. That’s where this cap comes in. It pops, because the silver mirror effect is shiny and stands out. But it’s still simple and understated. It’s not exactly covered in a lot of frills. If you’re a girl looking to make an understated statement, this design is perfect for you.
2. Oh the Places You’ll Go

Did you grow up obsessed with scrapbooking? Tap back into those skills with this graduation cap. The various paper and stickers used are so fun, and the quote is just absolutely perfect for graduation. Whether you were a Dr. Seuss fan as a kid or simply have big adventures planned after school, this is such a fun design!
3. Spongebob-Approved

We’re getting to an age now where the kids who are graduating grew up on Spongebob Squarepants. If you were one of those kids, this design is perfect for you. Not only is it simple, but it will make your entire class of fellow graduating students laugh.
4. Go with Your Favorite Quote

I don’t graduate from college until next year, but I’ve already had one of my favorite quotes picked out for my graduation cap since I was a freshman. I think there’s something so special about picking a quote that helped you get through all of the tough times of the past four years of your life, because I’m sure there were a lot of them!
"Finding creativity in every aspect of life, women constantly seek out new outlets for their talents. Among one such talent is the gift for preserving memories in an innovative, artistic way. If you're looking for some fresh inspiration, check out these fantastic scrapbook ideas to add a touch of personal flair to your collection. Let your creativity bloom!"
5. Glitter and a Monogram

Don’t want to go down the quote path? Try this instead. Cover your cap with glitter spray paint, especially if you hate the colors your cap and gown are, to liven things up. Then, with puffy paint or stickers, add your monogram. It’s simple, but will catch someone’s eye from a mile away!

6. For the Harry Potter Fans
/filters:quality(70)/content/ig/nj/a78eb_text_font_brand_signage_calligraphy_306x306.jpg)
If you’re a Harry Potter super-fan, you’ve probably already seen this, and you’ve probably already planned for it to be your graduation cap design. Not only were we all tortured by FAFSA for the past four years, but it’s a funny joke that everyone can relate to, regardless of whether or not they loved Harry Potter.
7. Blinged out

Just looking at this design makes me think that you’d need a lot of patience to make it happen. If you want to make this cap, start doing your research. It’s absolutely stunning and unique, but may take a little bit more time than your average graduation cap!
What are your favorite graduation cap designs? Have you already graduated? If so, what did you decorate your cap with? Let me know in the comments! I want to hear your ideas and tips!
