An Inspiration: Graduation Party Hat box remix

What greater inspiration can a mother have than their first born graduating from high school. Being accepted at all the colleges she applied to through high school. Winning scholarships.

Senior year for my daughter and me, was super busy. Parent meetings galore. Dues for this, dues for that. All for the diploma. Never mind senior pics. However, on that day it was all worth it. She made me very proud of her accomplishments.

It was only right that I put my creative energy into my daughter's day.

As you can see the Hat box remade representing her college choice.

EASTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY


These are the after photos above
After her brothers got a hold of the box after the party.

 Supplies:
1. Hat box from JoAnns Fabrics
2. Green Paint(Martha Stewart)
3. EMU Eagle photo downloaded from Google images
4. Paper from JoAnns Fabrics (Purchased this bag of scraps, literally full of  scraps)
I believe it was about $5.00-$7.00
5. Green chocolate coins from Party City
6. Glitter tissue paper from my Christmas wrapping collection(basement...lol)
 
This was so much fun. Hope you like it? Beats spending more money on a box everyone may have.
