Mortar Board/Graduation Cap Gift Box

A young family member is graduating for high school this spring! It’s weird, because as far as we’re concerned she’s, like, 11 years old. :grimacing: Anyway, her school colors are royal blue and white, but their caps and gowns are dark blue. Their tassels are dark blue and white. I tried to match as best as I could from afar.

I used my Cricut Explore to cut files from SVGCuts.com. She includes instructions for making a tassel with embroidery floss in the assembly video.

The top is about 4.25" square, the box pretty small. It barely fits a gift card, but would fit other small gifts or treats easily.

I made the year charm using Tim Holtz dies on my Sizzix Big Shot. The base is a wee tag that I cut around the numbers with scissors to kind of replicate the charms on the graduates’ actual tassels.
