Go with Your Favorite Quote

pink,font,advertising,banner,shape, 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!

Glitter and a Monogram

yellow,flower,art,calligraphy, 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!

Famous Quotes

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

Bruce Lee

For the Harry Potter Fans

text,font,brand,signage,calligraphy, 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.

Blinged out

clothing,pink,dress,fashion accessory,art, 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.
