It's that time of year again! Whether it is from high school or college, graduating is a huge accomplishment and something to be proud of. As you are preparing for your upcoming commencement, you may consider whether or not you want to decorate your grad cap. Decorating your cap is a great way to show off your personality, while also allowing your family to spot you in a crowd of hundreds (or thousands) of other people clad in caps and gowns.
Whether you are looking for something sweet and simple, something to show off your accomplishments, or something downright hilarious, here are 11 ways to decorate your grad cap. Congrats!
1. Simple
If you aren't particularly crafty and are looking for a simple way to separate your cap from the sea of other graduates, try adding a border in a contrasting color and a bow if you want a little extra sass!
2. Girly
If you are a girly-girl at heart and love everything pink and sparkles, then don't hold back! Add rhinestones, bows, pearls, glitter, and whatever else you can think of! This glittering grad cap will surely stand out in the crowd!
3. Thankful
For many of us, we would not be where we are now (graduating!) without our parents. Show mom and dad just how much you appreciate everything they have done with a grad cap that gives thanks.
4. Hopeful
Graduation is a bittersweet time full of happiness, pride, anxiousness, and hope for the future! Show off your hopeful (and slightly sarcastic) spirit with this fun grad cap!
5. Personalized
Nothing personalizes an article of clothing (or necklace or hand towel) quite like a monogram. Whether you opt for a single initial or a full monogram, this grad cap is sure to have your name all over it!
6. Comical
Whether you put a spin on your favorite movie or television show, reference pop culture, or make a bad pun any dad would be proud of, this comical grad cap will show off your personality and your sense of humor!
7. Honest
Graduation is the time to come clean about all of those crazy antics your parents never knew about. Tell the truth with an honest grad cap that says "hey, at least I graduated."

Do you have a motivational quote that helped get you to this point? Is there an inspirational saying that represents your thoughts about the future? Help separate yourself from the crowd with this inspirational grad cap.
9. Floral
Show off your fun-loving, free spirit with florals. Whether you choose to use flower appliques sparingly or superfluously, this floral grad cap will let your personality shine and make it easy for grandma to spot you in the crowd!
10. Career-Oriented
What do you want to be when you grow up? Whether you aspire to be a nurse, teacher, lawyer, or professional 'cat lady,' you can use your grad cap to show off your accomplishments and career goals!
