How I Painted My Graduation Cap
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 фев 2025
- Graduation cap decorating is a bit of a new trend. Many people use stickers or print pictures and glue them to their cap, but I decided to be a bit more creative and paint mine. I chose a quote from my university's fight song and decorated the edges with a floral design. Check out this video to see how I did it. I hope you enjoy it!

If you've made it this far, comment something nice!
this is awesome
How did you print on the card stock? Can you explain how you did the wording more? Like where you got the font from and how you made it centered
Awwww I love this! I just saw you on Justin's channel and I'm glad I did. For my grad cap, I used a Gilmore Girls quote and did a whole theme with that.
Wow thank you so much! Thats so cute I almost did that with the show Friends!
I loved it ! you are super talented 🙊❤️
Cool Idea!
Congrats Graduate! :-)
THE CROCKETT SHOW thank you!
Would fabric paint also work for graduation caps?
Did you seal it with anything or just painted it? I'm looking for a clear coat for mine but don't want it to get messed up
How did u cut the paper through stencils to get the perfect font result. I didn't understand that part how you did it..
When you print out from canva.com then what was the 2nd ,3rd step how did u do that . I red of you replied to others . U cut with knife . But still I didn't get it how did Cardstock become stencil ?
I used an exacto knife. It’s an arts and crafts tool designed specifically for that you can find them at any craft store. Good luck!
@@Larissamcooper thanks
This was so helpful! thank you :)
Did you prime the cap? If not, did you notice the fabric soaked up the paint?? Thank u! Looks beautiful i want to do flowers on the edges as well :)
Miryam Cruz I did not prime it! The fabric did soak up the brighter / lighter colors like the pink and yellow but I just went over them again and that brought the brightness back!
Larissa Zellmer awesome, cant wait to do mine thank you!! 😊
yeah! I'm happy to help I hope it turns out great!
This cap is so beautiful!! If I had the time and skill I so would've done this 😭 but congrats fellow grad ✨💛
Ashley Ramos thank you!! Yes it definitely took some time to do but I love crafting! Congrats to you too! 🎓
That's so cute
Louise Lewis thank you!!
Hi, really love the way this looks. Wondered what material the hat is and where to purchase the hat from. I'm from the UK and here we don't kee our hats, we just hire them. X
Throwing Shine ours are given to us by our universities in the states! But I'm sure you can find it on amazon! I know people have purchased some on there as replacement hats
Larissa Zellmer so just type in graduation hats? What material is the one in this video. And thank you so much for replying to me x
Throwing Shine yep! Just type in graduation hats. Mine is just cloth that's wrapped around a piece of cardboard I'm pretty sure. And of course! Glad you like the video
You sound so much like Demi Lavato
haha I have never gotten that before! Wish I could sing like her lol
What did you use to cut out the card stock? Well to get it so close in detail
Idaly Zamora I️ used an exacto knife!
Larissa Zellmer thank you I just realized you had it in the video😅
Idaly Zamora haha all good!
Larissa Zellmer one more question! Lol where did you find that font? Did you use word or another app
I used the font Playlist Script on the website Canva.com
What size font did you use? 😱
I just printed it out larger and larger until it was the size I wanted in relation to the cap. Depends on how many words you have
What size font did you use on Canva??
Chelsea Colvin I’m not sure I just printed it off and resized it until I liked how it fit on the cap
what font did you use? beautiful work btw ^_^
Thank you so much! I used the font Playlist Script on the website Canva.com
your cap is gorgeous! where did you get the deco art americana paint from? was it michaels, by any chance?
Raisa Shams we don’t have a michaels in my home town so I got them at hobby lobby! I bet michaels would have them though
Raisa Shams and thank you!! ❤️
Did you find your design to pop or look good in photos? I love this idea, but I’m nervous it’ll look too flat.
Maritza de la fuente I love this question! I thought it looked great in photos, the thumbnail of this video was from graduation day. But if you’re looking for something that really stands out then I’d suggest colored paper, fake flowers etc. Hope that helps!
Larissa Zellmer thanks girly!
I'd love to paint my cap but our dumb high school has to have a weird light-ish blue for our cap and gown with _hideous_ grey accents. I dont even know what is with the color they chose... our main color is _royal_ blue.
Did you use acrylic paint or fabric paint? I’m working on mine tomorrow 💕
Olga Soria hi! I used acrylic paint
