Graduation Favors

Crazy busy week as I prepare graduation favors for a party on Saturday and teacher gifts for next week. My Mother in Law is here this week cooking up a storm in the kitchen and I feel all off schedule...grrrrr! This is one of those times I wish I had made a few things ahead of time...it's not like I didn't know the end of the school year was coming!! But at least my freezer will be full of yummy Greek food from YiaYia ☺


Hershey Nugget graduation candies. I used the 1 3/8" Square Punch, Silver Brads and got the instructions for the tassle on You Tube.


OK...this is a FAB-O idea!!!!!!!!!! I got this from Monica at Add A Litle Dazzle.
Super easy and such a WOW!! You'll need the Pillow Box die cut and the Big Shot and a 5x7 photograph. It's so easy and comes out perfect. I manipulated my photo to add the graduation information on the back side and had them printed. The only bad thing is you need a 5x7 as a 4x6 is too small, and it's a little more expensive. I can't wait to take them to the party!!

  5. The nuggets are so cute! I love this idea! I'm going to run home and make about 60 for both my boys for the last day of Preschool on Friday. Thanks for sharing a WONDERFUL idea!

  6. I absolutely love the pillow boxes with the picture!

    I'm making graduation cap nuggets for my niece's party. To make it easier though, I am using ribbon for the tassle.

  7. The graduation cap nuggets are soooo cute. My 14 y/o is graduating from 8th grade on June 11 and I'm making these whether they embarass him or not (seems everything I do embarasses him these days -- he's such a man now LOL)! I've already been instructed not to bring balloons to the promotion ceremony but I will sneak some of these in to share with some of my other mom friends.
