Clear Scraps Project Post

Graduation season is the perfect time to create something extra special! Judy here and today I’m sharing a fun and festive tag project made with Clear Scraps products! This tag is not only a beautiful embellishment for a gift, but it also doubles as a keepsake your graduate will treasure.

2 products were used:
Shaker Tag Grad Hat
Congrats Chipboard Word Title

For this design, I went all in with bold, celebratory colors—rich reds and shimmering golds—to really capture that proud, milestone moment. The base of the tag is covered with glitter cardstock for instant sparkle and layered with a metallic gold panel to add contrast and elegance.

Glue 3 of the 4 chip rings for the shaker onto the tag base. Add color to the tassel. I used an acrylic paint marker.

Remove film from both sides of one of the acrylic pieces and adhere to the back of the tag.

Add color to the top shaker ring piece. I used an alcohol marker.

Remove film from both sides of the 2nd acrylic piece. Adhere to the back of the top ring piece once paint is dry.

Add shaker elements. Glue top piece to tag.

I added a digi image of a female graduate which I printed, colored and fussy cut.

Paint the Congrats Chipboard Word Title with gold acrylic paint. Adhere on an angle to the bottom of the tag.

At the top, I added ribbon in coordinating tones and finished it off with star accents for a polished look.

This tag is perfect for attaching to a gift bag, hanging on a bottle, or even displaying as part of a graduation party centerpiece. It’s a simple project that makes a big impact and can easily be customized for school colors or personal style.

I hope this inspires you to create something special for the graduates in your life. Handmade touches like this make those big milestones even more memorable!
