I found this video while I was looking for a graduation idea for my cap. Hearing your story reminds me of my own. I ended up taking a year off from college, as well. Of course it was a different reason. However, my mom passed away this January and I absolutely love the idea of adding her to my graduation cap. I know how proud she would have been and I just want to say thank you for the inspiration.

Came here for a craft project tutorial…leaving in tears. wow I totally didn’t see that coming 🥺 my mom passed too, I don’t think I’ll ever not get emotional at this topic. You’re so strong, girl! Thanks for sharing your heart and your creativity with all of us!

[@AmyMakesThat]

Aw don’t cry! I’m so sorry for your loss, it’s nice to know we’re not alone 💕 thank you for your kind words

[@SummerBaby728]

@@AmyMakesThat it’s all good, darling! They’re healing tears. I know it’s a club we all hate to be in, but at least we’re in it together and nothing feels as healing to me as when I come across someone else who “gets it”

I am SO glad you're on track now. It took me a long time also so I understand. There were a LOT of reasons why for me a too. However, when my career was taking off, Really taking off, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and put out of work 2 months later....I was in my late twenties. I had had it for 5-7 yrs before I was dx'ed. I always thought "Dang, if I feel like this in my twenties I can't imagine what my thirties will be" LOL! It was really really hard for a long time and in all honesty it still is, even after 23 yrs. One of my nephews, when he was a toddler, taught me to find humor. There IS humor in almost anything if one chooses to look for it. Now I could do a set as a stand up comedian just on MS. I pray you are well and succeeding in your chosen career and life. I am so sorry to her about the loss of your Mother. I just lost my Dad 4 Months ago and I'm still not handling well, even at my age (52). I know at your age it must be harder. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I love your cap ! I’m making mine right now. What font did you use for the “this one’s for you mom “?

[@AmyMakesThat]

thank you so much! and it's the font "Madina Script" 💕

[@mscallmecc]

Omg thank you!!

[@AmyMakesThat]

thank you for watching!! ❤

[@shawntaesmith4451]

hi what size is your font ?

[@iloveu91ful]

How do you get the words to stay on glitter cardstock? Do you mod podge??

[@AmyMakesThat]

Hi Jasmin! I used permanent vinyl and didn't have any problems with it sticking -- you can always use mod podge or polycrylic before applying the vinyl and that should help!!

[@merakialma]

Did you ever design graduation stoles ?

[@rachelh6072]

What kind of vinyl did you use?

[@AmyMakesThat]

Hi Rachel! I use permanent vinyl (Oracal 651) which is linked in the video description!

[@jeprefereetreaparis2700]

Can you show how to do the vinyl after you print??? Please

[@AmyMakesThat]

i show that in the video!!
