Graduation Hat Toppers and Straws

Today, I’m showing you something me and mommy made last week. You’re gonna throw your hats off for this idea – it’s Graduation Hat Toppers and Straws! Did you know I’m graduating on June 2nd from Kindergarten?? Then, I’m going to be a first grader!! You can make these if you kid is graduating from any grade. I think they’ll love them.

AND…

Aren’t they so fun?!

This is what you need to make these Graduation Hat Toppers and Straws:

SUPPLIES:

– Striped Straws

– Construction Paper

– Paper Cutter/Scissors

– Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks

– Hole Punch

– More Straws

 DIRECTIONS:

 1. Begin by cutting your straws in half. Also cut your construction paper. We cute squares that were 2.5 inches wide and strips that were 3 inches by .75 inches. We did black but you can use whatever color. 🙂

2. Then we hot glued the strips into circles. Then we put that circle on the bottom of our square and added to dabs of hot glue and held it there until it dried.

3. Then we added another dab of glue and attached the striped straw and held it there til it was almost dry.

These are perfect for graduation:

FOR THE STRAWS:

And to make the straws we just hole punched a hole in the middle of the square before we added the circle underneath it. The straw fit in it just perfectly!

I can’t wait to graduate and sing the songs we’ve been practicing. We are singing 3 of them – You are My Sunshine, Planting Seeds, and Start Spreading the News. It’s going to be awesome!!

Hope you like this idea!

Love, Lily
