Project Ideas: Graudation Projects.

We are almost to May....which means Graduation season is right around the corner! Whether you know a PreSchool, High School, or College graduate - or maybe you are the one planning the party for a graduate - we have lots of gifts, projects, and decorating ideas here at Crafts Direct!

We have three endcaps at the front of the store full of Graduation Paper Crafting items (for invites, cards, display boards, etc) and Party Supplies (paper plates, napkins, banners...).

We also have pulled together some additional ideas on our Pinterest Board from around the web. And today we have a couple of new projects we have created in store as well!

First, we have a Happy Graduation Clear Tube that we simply filled with white Sixlet candies, added some Graduation stickers and a red ribbon. Not only does it look like a rolled diploma - but the recipient has a cute keepsake and some treats too. You could also fill the tube with money to give as a gift too.

Another project idea that would be great as a gift or to display at a graduation party is this "Go Confidently" 12x12 Shadow Box! We have a full supply list and complete project instructions for you to follow on our website HERE.
