Graduating from college is a huge accomplishment that should be marked with special touches. Making your items for your graduation party gives them a unique look and saves you money. Here are some clever do-it-yourself graduation party decorations that can be used to make the event more unique.

1. Graduation Cap Garland

Use small graduation caps to make a holiday decoration. The caps should be made from black paper, and they should be clipped to a string. Hang this wreath around the party area or put it behind a camera for a picture.

2. Custom Tassel Decorations

Graduation is always associated with tassels. You can use yarn or sewing thread in your school colors to make your own tassels. You can then use them to decorate anything from drink stirrers to table centerpieces. For a splash of holiday color, you can also put them on balloons or hang them from the roof.

3. Photo Memory Wall

Show off pictures from your college years to honor your trip. Use washi tape to stick photos to a big board or the wall. You can arrange them in the shape of your graduation year or make a picture for your guests to enjoy.

4. Diploma Napkin Rings

Make napkin rings that look like awards for a dinner party. Tie your school-colored string around rolled-up paper or linen napkins. This small touch can make your table look better and impress your friends.

5. Chalkboard Signage

You can make signs out of old frames or boards by painting them with chalkboard paint. Chalk markers can be used to write notes, menu information, or directions. These signs will help your guests find their way and will also give your room a natural, personal touch.

6. Centerpieces with Books and Mortarboards

For a themed decoration, stack some old books and put a small mortarboard or graduation cap on top of each one. To make it more unique, you can use textbooks from your major or find used books at a thrift store and paint them in your school’s colors.

7. Confetti Balloons

Place hand-made confetti in the colors of your school inside clear balloons. Print the confetti on metallic or tissue paper, and then use a funnel to fill the balloons before adding gas or air to them. These balloons can make your party room look more fun and colorful.

8. Graduation Cap Mason Jars

Use black paint and a small piece of cardstock glued to the top of mason jars to make them look like graduation caps. You can use these as vases, candle holders, or to hold straws and tools.

9. LED String Lights Photo Display

String lights and clips can be used together to show pictures along the lights. The place will be lit up, and your favorite college memories will be displayed warmly and glowingly warmly, glowingly.

10. DIY Congrats Banner

You can make your banner by cutting out letters from paper that say “Congrats!” Put this banner somewhere noticeable to make the party more unique.

Not only will making your own items make your graduation party unique, but it can also be fun to remember your college days while you’re getting ready for the party. With these do-it-yourself ideas, you can make a fun, unique space that honors your academic journey.
