Hi friends,
A few years ago we shared a customizable DIY Grad Poster, today we’re reworking it and using the wording and icons differently.
Our DIY Rad Grad Poster 2 provides the same original icons to paint(5 pages of options) and cut out, but this time applying them within your grad’s name! Check out our grad poster below.

What You'll Need
Poster Board
Craft Paints
Brushes & Rinse Water
Scissors
Pencil
Glue
Poster Markers
OPTIONAL: Ruler
The Steps
PREP
Print out as many sheets as you’d like. There's 5 pages of words and 5 of the icons.
Paint the icons with craft paint and personalize them to your liking: Adding the graduation year and using school colors, optionally thinning out the paint for a watercolor effect.
3. Paint the words as well(I eventually went over the outline of GRAD with a black poster marker).
4. Cut out all the words(not individual letters) and the icons.
ASSEMBLE
Use a ruler to help space out and create your child’s name.
Use a poster marker to trace over the letters.
Glue your icons within their name, then the words and the icons you chose onto the poster
That’s it!
STORYTIME
Our one and only daughter Naomi is graduating high school in a few weeks. You’ve known her as my crafting partner since 2019. She’s been our little sidekick since birth lol, our beautiful, free-spirited, down-to-earth, brave, adventurous, funny, creative, artistic, old-soul of a child. COVID/In-home schooling was especially brutal for her, but she worked incredibly hard and did outstanding her last two years. This craft highlights her love of music, heritage, color, originality, and art and celebrates her achievement.
Naomi, on her last day of Kindergarten. Soon it’ll be her last day of High School.
CONGRATULATIONS GRADUATES!
Congratulations Mom, Dad, and all caregivers, your child is on to the next season of their life.
Happy crafting
Amanda and Naomi
