Frequently asked questions
How do you decorate a graduation cap?
Decorating your mortarboard is a fun graduation tradition and a brilliant way to stand out in the crowd and the photos — and a little planning makes it turn out far better than a last-minute rush. The flat top of the cap is your canvas, seen from above and behind, so design with that view in mind. Start by deciding on a theme and a quote or message (something meaningful, funny, or a nod to your course or future plans), then sketch your layout before you commit. Common approaches include a decorated background (card, fabric or paint), stick-on or painted lettering for your quote, and embellishments like glitter, flowers or gems. A few practical tips: check whether your university actually permits decorated caps, as some restrict it; make it a few days ahead rather than the night before; and secure everything really well so nothing falls off on the day. Plan it on paper first and you'll get a cap that looks intentional and brilliant rather than thrown together.
