I can't believe it....alomost a year ago I made this set of party decorations for Core'dinations and Darice and now I have two children graduating...Brighton with his Bachelors of Science and Mackenzie from High School! Time to break these out and party!!!!!!! These were super fun to make and I really love the way they turned out.

Mason Jar Congratulations Centerpiece:
Step 1: Select desired pieces from Core'dinations Paper Pops pack. These packages come in a varitety of styles and colors for any celebration. You will need 6 pieces of two sizes to create ornament shapes, plus two larger shapes for the title.
Step 2: Fold shapes in half with the side you want displayed on the inside.
Step 2: Fold shapes in half with the side you want displayed on the inside.
Step 3: Glue shapes with the right side in together leaving a bit of a gap on the inner corner. When all six are glued together you will get your ornament shape.
Step 4: Thread ornament shapes and larger title shapes onto dowel.
Step 5: To create band on mason jar begin by cutting a sheet of the Tim Holtz Metallic Kraft Core paper to fit your jar. I cut mine at 1 1/2 inch by 10, and emboss if desired.
Step 6: In order to keep your embossing pattern consistent throughout your longer projects, you can cut a slit in the top of the folder allowing the paper to slide through. I love this technique for embossing longer strips.
Step 7: Simply wrap your mason jar with the Tim Holtz Kraft Core Metallic Paper and insert your dowel with the ornaments. I used a bit of krinkle paper to hold everything together, but almost anything would work, from pebbles to marbles to little hard candies.
Graduation Cap Boxes Step 1: Cut all pieces from the SVGCuts file.
Step 2: Assemble as per their directions. The Core'dinations Texture cardstock gives the cap a nice fabric finish.
Graduation Cap Banner Step 1: Cut 1 1/2 inch mortar board shapes with electronic cutter.
Step 2: Attach mortar boards to banner rosettes. The rosettes come pre assembled, so creating this banner is quick and easy.
Medallion Wall Decor Step 1: Directions for assembly are included in each kit. Begin by removing adhesive from end piece and attaching to the other end to form a ring.
Step 2: Place medallion ring over cardboard ring with post.
Step 3: Press ends of medallion down and cover with top screw and additional cardboard ring.
Step 4: Cover cardboard rings and posts with included foam tape cardboard circles and embellish further with paper pops. Layer on wall for a unique decoration.
With all the great color combinations available from the Party Mixer line from Core'dinations I am sure you will find the perfect combination for your next event.
