What to write on graduation cap
Decorating My Grad Cap+DIY Day VLOG | 2017
hey guys I'm gonna be vlogging today
I'll explain why in a second I wanted to
start the vlog now so I can join my
breakfast because I made a bougie
breakfast so but I made bacon which I
already ate one and I took a bite but
this is an English muffin and it has
okay it looks kind of gross but like
it's really good
it has hmm dull laughing has brie cheese
and butter and blueberry oh my gosh Jam
so breakfast is served
Dylan is laughing oh all right good
morning guys
um it is about ten o'clock in the
morning and I am vlogging today because
I'm decorating my graduation cap so I
want to do this more like a vlog because
this is nod to toriel I'm probably going
to be using other tutorials and other
resources to do mine but I just thought
it'd be fun to kind of show you guys how
I decorate my grad cap and then my
glasses have such a glare I should take
them all then oh I was also gonna do
some other DIY things today so I figured
I might as well blog that as well I'm
gonna cut a pair of pants into shorts
and then I'm gonna cut a couple t-shirts
so yeah welcome to today's vlog I'm
going to get started on my grad cap here
soon
I'm looking for stuff up right now so
this is the design that I want to do I
found it on Pinterest so yes this is my
inspiration for my grad cap I was
looking up some stuff like I'd have this
tutorial up in like how to paint well
these are Lilly Pulitzer inspired
flowers but I wanted to do like some
simple flowers like the ones that are on
the grad cap and I don't really want to
like just do it and mess it up so I was
looking at tutorials first and yes I
think I'm gonna get started now um I
decided to get a piece of paper to do
like the
sign on instead of directly on the cap
um I don't know for various reasons
anyways uh yeah I'm gonna get started
now I think I'm gonna measure this and
then go cut it yeah I don't know here we
go y'all this is going to be an
interesting process that'd be alright
for real now I'm going to get started
wish me luck guys I don't really know
how this is going to go we'll see
alright so I'm in my dad's office and I
found a paper cutter is all just called
paper cutter I think so
I found an exacto knife and then I have
my cap and I have my piece of paper so
I'm gonna measure and just like mark it
with a pen uh like how much to cut and
then I'm going to cut it yeah
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
so for this part okay my friend Ashley
is basically telling me how to do this
we're gonna FaceTime her later uh but oh
oh my gosh I'm scared I feel like I cut
it wrong I only bought one piece of
paper whoo okay well anyways she said to
mark the spot or like the button thing
is so I'm doing that and I'm taking the
exacto knife okay I'm gonna take it okay
I'm gonna like cut she's had to cut like
an X and then across
I guess so that you can like put it
through oh my gosh I'm scared okay it's
fine it's not the end of the world just
a grad cap right so I'm doing that okay
I just cut like okay I think that's a
shoe that's on I need it Carter Oh
someone oh I think I need to cut this
bigger look I feel like I messed up
already okay so oh my god I do I think I
messed up and I need another piece of
paper what am i doing what do you mean
okay but I feel like the papers not
gonna fit right I'm scared
with one end of what this thing yeah
your way around shoot or some Pleasant
okay so papers under on that side okay
and then oh shoot
okay papers on her on that side now oh
my gosh oh I see it's going look I'm
making progress
oh my gosh I think I did it it doesn't
look great though
alright guys don't worry I'm wearing to
grad cap now we're good also I can't
vlog with glasses on because the glare
is so bad I got it all situated it's not
completely perfect like as you can see
right
there but like from far away you
definitely can't tell so I just have it
like stuck under the button now clearly
so I'm going to glue down the corners
and then I'm going to start penciling
the design so for the rest of this I'm
probably just going to do like a time
lapse like a sped up thing because
otherwise this vlog will be about a
million years long but yeah I got my
tripod so I'm gonna go ahead and put
that up and I'm gonna get started
also just a time update it's 10:43 so I
think I started vlogging at like 10:00
or like 10 10 or something like that so
let's see how long this takes me I feel
like it's gonna take me like all day but
yeah just a time check-in it's 10:40 3
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
alright guys so it is now oh my god I
knew this would take all day
it's 11:40 and I have done a like aa a
rough draft of paint on a cap so here's
the rough draft I'm gonna do flowers
here and here and I still need to go in
with more paint and do like calligraphy
writing because right now it's just
persevere we're at um I think I'm gonna
do like a rap draft of the calligraphy
writing so basically I'm just going to
go in and make like some parts of the
words thicker um and then after that
I'll probably take a break and then take
Dylan out to lunch and then I'll come
back and do the flowers and touch up
anything I need to with the words so
that's just an update that's where we're
at
[Music]
you
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
okay
it is 1204 and here's what I have so far
I am actually really pleased with it I
wasn't at first but I think it's coming
together nicely and then like I said I'm
going to do flowers on the bottom in the
top and I'll do that after lunch so
lunch break and then I'll be back at it
alright it's 1:05 now and I'm about to
get back to work we had lunch and yeah
so I'm going to do a little bit of
touch-ups on the white paint part and
then I'm going to do the flowers and
then I'll be done and then it'll be on
to the next DIY project
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
okay guys it is 2:15 and I finally
finish I'm not like an artist or
anything but I'm really happy with how
it turned out so here is the final
product I also forgot to film myself
painting like the green things so I'm so
sorry I just forgot to press record but
yes that's it I'm happy with it
hooray the paint's still drying because
I just painted the middle part black
obviously it's not perfect like there's
a big fold in the paper right there but
like hello from far away you're not
going to be able to see that so I'm
happy with it and now onto the next DIY
projects I think I'm going to do the
jeans first
so yeah I'm turning a pair of jeans that
I thrifted into shorts so basically I'm
just gonna be cutting them and then I'm
gonna cut a couple of shirts that I have
in two tank tops so okay and you guys
can watch this is just a DIY day this is
what I do when I no longer have school
so yeah hope you guys enjoy okay guys so
I have on the pants that I'm gonna cut
so here's the pants I probably I don't
know yeah I think it's better to cut off
like not enough than too much so I don't
know I probably want them to like end up
going here but I want them to be folded
so maybe I would like start by cutting
them here yeah I'm just drawing my
sharpie you whatever okay so I'm just
gonna cut them there
[Music]
don't have a new tamir oh yeah those are
cute okay I feel like I want them a tad
bit shorter though all right here is the
finished product I cut and adjusted them
a little bit more yeah I nearly killing
fit they were like seven bucks so I just
have to sew this down and then I'll be
ready for summer so um with graduation
coming up I have decided to cut up a
couple of my shirts okay not really I
just wanted to cut a couple of them I
got this shirt something we have called
Maison des it's just really plain like
it's kind of boring
so I'm going to use it as a gym shirt
and I'm just gonna like cut it into a
tank top and then this shirt I got at my
freshman orientation so I thought it
would be kind of cool to use this one
also it's honestly not my favorite shirt
so I'm going to cut it into like a cute
kind of like crop top with a tie in the
front and also make it into a tank top
and yeah so that's what I'm doing now
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
all right and this is the green shirt
that I did I ended up like pulling like
I pulled this up like I ripped it more
than I had cut it so that it would tie
he's more easily there's the back this
one's I don't know I'm happy with how it
turned out I'll wear it with shorts like
this or with like high-waisted jeans or
whatever I think it's cute and here's
the other shirt like I said I'm just
gonna use this one as a gym shirt so
doesn't matter I'll be wearing it with
like leggings or shorts but there's the
back and yeah that's that so I think I'm
going to go ahead and end the vlog here
the vlog whatever this has been I think
it's been a vlog I'll call it a vlog but
yeah I think I'm going to go ahead and
end it here because that is all the DIY
projects that I have for today so if you
