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!

I did a Fault in Our Stars thing. It said "Graduation? Graduation." In the little bubbles. I thought it was pretty rad haha

My high school didn't allow it either.. I couldn't stop laughing at the spongebob one! : )

Mine is going to say "She defied gravity". With two images of ballerinas in the center.
