    My school won't let me decorate my cap, or we can't walk, but I would have done something Glee themed and centered around my favorite quote, "Shame is a wasted emotion."

    • @MonsterBloodBooks
      @MonsterBloodBooks Před 6 lety +1

      Ashley Decelles my high school did that, but in their defense my graduating class was less than 20 lol

    • @brielle9198
      @brielle9198 Před 6 lety +15

      I know when I graduated last year, my school didn’t let us, but some people bought a second graduation cap from either Michael’s or probably Amazon and decorated that instead. Obviously they had to wear the non decorated one for the ceremony, but they wore the decorated one for pictures after..you could always do that! That way you can still decorate one 😁

    • @WildCarrie
      @WildCarrie Před 6 lety +2

      Same. My school said we couldn't get our diplomas and walk if we decorated cause it would be to distracting or something.

    • @tsundoku5068
      @tsundoku5068 Před 6 lety

      That is good that they won't let you. Emma is disgracing her school by decorating her cap.

    I just decorated my cap for undergrad and I did it in a Harry Potter style! ⚡
    Mine had a pic of Sirius Black on it and it said "I did my waiting!! 5 years of it!!" (Because I completed a duel degree in 5 years.) ☺️

    I'm so happy and proud of you!!! Congratulations, Emma!!! I love this idea, it feels so so special. I can't wait to make my cap. Excuse me if I feel extra emo, I just watched Harry and Meghan's whole Wedding Ceremony and I'm amidst tears still :) Everything feels super emotional, haha.
    You chose The Midnight Flower for the pages!!! SUCH a gorgeous chapter! It looks so flawless, I would have been terrified while doing it.

    i love the look of white rose with black paint splattered all over it haha. or just like dirt. it looks cool and not jsut all black. and its a mix of black and white. it looks as if the white rose got all dirty but it still looks pretty

  • @JimbeeTheFish
    @JimbeeTheFish Před 6 lety +13

    Jealous! We weren’t allowed to decorate our grad caps because my highschool was a big killjoy.
    I’m probably going to be late for work so I can watch this video 😂😂😂

    • @emmmabooks

    @asparagusisreading Před 6 lety +1

    I am graduating from high school around this time next year. I have heard we are allowed to decorate so this girl has been looking into many many many bookish ideas for my cap. I haven’t decided what I want to do yet but I have seen lots of great things. Yours has come out beautiful and I agree with you. I felt like there needed to be more and you added more, it looks great! Congratulations on graduating!

  • @niamhlancaster5936
    @niamhlancaster5936 Před 6 lety

    the cap looks so good Emma! one tip for future reference with cutting with any knives or anything like that is to get yourself a cutting mat, they usually have measurements and straight lines of them to help with the cutting, and they'll stop any marks from getting on your tables. congratulations!

    What an awesome idea! I haven't gone to any of my graduations since high school, but I'm attending grad school this August and I plan on attending this graduation. If I remember, I'll have to decorate my cap.

  • @DanielleP0314
    @DanielleP0314 Před 6 lety

    CONGRATS EMMA!!!!! GOD your grad cap is drop-dead gorgeous!!! All bookish and amazing and I cant believe you did it all by yourself, and you're not even a DIY/lifestyle youtuber!! Amazing! I graduated college last September 2017 but I was too lazy to manually create my grad cap, so I got one of those Amazon sticky-grad-cap decoration things that you just stick adhesive to your original cap and call it a day haha! My quote was "Nevertheless, She Persisted" from Elizabeth Warren's battle with Senator McConnell.

    Is there anything you can't do Emma? 😁
    You are so amazingly talented.
    You look so cute with glasses btw.
    I think I would decorate my cap with different covers of my favorite books, posters of my favorite films, pics of my favorite film directors, actors/actresses and my favorites bands. 😄
    I know it will be such a mess. 😂
    Lots of love Emma. 💞

    I graduated from my masters program in February so congratulations class of 2018 ! I didn’t walk at my graduation but I thought I was going to be able to travel for it and I did plan how I would have decorated my cap. I wanted the ACOMAF quote “ to the stars that listen ....” with like a galaxy background. Pretty basic but I thought it was fitting. Congrats again !

    I actually did something really similar with my cap when I graduated high school! I made copies of my favorite pages from a few of my favorite books and did a base really similar to yours! I had the quote 'On to my next chapter' on it, had some daisy and book stickers on it and had a border made of green and gold ribbon (my school colors)!

    Hey Emma! I watched this video on my way home from finishing my last ever exam of my degree in genetics and cell biology! Weird coincidence! Graduations for my college won't happen until November though and we don't even get caps we just have to rent the robes for a day, bummer! I'm living vicariously through you though, I think you did an amazing job on the cap it looks gorgeous! And congratulations on graduating!!!

  • @kristinaelazar3572
    @kristinaelazar3572 Před 5 lety

    Mine was a modified lyric from the musical episode of Once Upon a Time and said "a happy beginning now is mine" in rose gold glitter calligraphy, blush pink roses in the corners with the corners lined with small clear gems ❤❤ I love yours, I almost made a small book on my cap with the quote "words have the power to change us" but the words would have been way too small to read.

    Hey Emma, was wondering if you would consider making a video on why you decided to study psychology, what to expect (common misconceptions etc...) , and overall tips for anyone considering studying psychology. Or, you know, typing a reply instead of an entire video if you don’t have time would be cool too. Thank you :)
