Follow these directions and make a tiny graduation cap that is perfect to use as a decoration or even a party favor.

  • Age Guideline: 5 Years and Up
  • Time Required: 20 minutes (Does not include drying time)

     

    The above age and time guidelines are estimates. This project can be modified to suit other ages and may take more or less time depending on your circumstances.

    Materials Needed:

    Instructions:
    Cut a single cup from an egg carton; cut a 4- to 5-inch square piece of lightweight cardboard (like from a cereal box). Paint one side of the cardboard square and the egg cup the school colors (or whatever color you desire). Let these dry and then paint the other side. Let the paint dry completely.

    Put a dab of glue in the center of the cardboard square and stick the egg carton cup on the glue with the opening up. When you turn this over it will look like a graduation cap.

    Use yarn or ribbon and attach it to the center of the cardboard to act as the tassel. Viola - you now have a great decoration or even a cup to hold graduation party favors!
