mortar board top?
 

Hi,
My friend & I are making favor boxes for my niece's college graduation. I'd like to place a mortar board cap on top of the 2"x2" box. Any SIMPLE directions you can give would be greatly appreciated!
Happy Sunday!

Hi and welcome to Splitcoast! I moved your thread to our general stamping talk forum where I'm sure someone will help you! :)

I just purchased a die "Grad Cap" from Lifestyle crafts. It would fit perfect on a 2x2.

Here's a graduation box template:

The sample Lisa linked to is super cute! Looks like you'd just need some diecut squares, a brad, and a tassel!

Here's a tutorial for making a tassel - if you're making tiny ones I'd suggest wrapping embroidery thread around a fork... lay the hangy part along the tines first so it is already inside your loops when you wrap and easy to tie around your center. Tie the second knot between the tines while you have your loops still on the fork.
