Hi friends! I really love how these graduation cards I made for my girls came out.

I used an easy kimono fold technique to make the gowns and decorated them with supplies I had on hand. Learn how in today's video!

*You probably have what you need in your stash to make these, feel free to substitute supplies to get a similar look.

Supplies (Affiliate links used)

Paper: I used mulberry paper to give the robes a fabric feel but you can use origami or scrapbook paper. I suggest using acid-free paper as these cards will probably be a keept as keepsakes.
Adhesive
Ribbon 1/4" satin and 1/2" grosgrain (or whatever you have handy. Cardstock strips will also work.
Brads: Mini and decorative (or a metal button can be used as a medal)
Mini tassels (these are larger than what I used but you can easily make tassels from embroidery floss.
Embroidery floss or craft thread
Congratulations stamp
Ink and embossing powder
Cardstock (I used heavy weight purple and gold metallic card)
