I saw a graduation cap box in the newest Oriental Trading catalog and wanted to try and duplicate it. I used the explosion box template from this website, but altered the lid to resemble a graduation cap. I used scrapbook stitches (basically floss) to make the tassel. I plan on using these as treat boxes for my oldest son's class, putting some candy inside them. He will be graduating from elementary school this year. I stamped the "Congrats, Graduate" from All Year Cheer III inside the bottom of the box. Only took me about 10 minutes to make, once I had the pattern straightened out.
The template is in my gallery. Please see the opened box for instructions on making the lid.

I think I will have to take a stab at making one of these for my sister who graduates from high school this year.
